Bug? InsertAt in a LIST

[JakeBullet70]

Is there a bug here? I cannot get InsertAt to work. What am I doing stupid?

Maybe the list is empty before you try to insert new items (or its size is lower ... etc).

Try to insert a log of each lstOfCode item (after the comment '--- insert the Code)

If you notice the pic at the bottom it has data in it.

I had seen it, but I don't know WHEN...

How was the list originally created?

 

[JakeBullet70]

Like this

'--- the string is created here

    Dim o As StringBuilder
    o.Initialize
  
    o.Append($"g.ToastMessageShowX("Re-Starting Application...",True)"$).Append(CRLF)
    o.Append($"fn.sleep(750)"$).Append(CRLF)
    o.Append($"Activity.Finish"$).Append(CRLF)
    o.Append($"Return"$).Append(CRLF)
  
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'--- this puts it into the list
    Dim lstTmp As List = Regex.Split(CRLF,s)

 

[JakeBullet70]

But wait, the list is put into another list and passed as a var around to other code.

    Dim lstOfCode As List = lst.Get(1)
    Dim strOfCode As String = lst.Get(0)

Regex.Split returns an array. When an array is converted to a List it is only wrapped. It is not copied.

It is equivalent to using List.Initialize2:

If you want it to be modifiable then you need to:

Dim lstTmp As List
lstTmp.Initialize
lstTmp.AddAll(Regex.Split(...))
