Re: [ferret_users] let/like='z' --- use of quoted names

Hi Ansley,

Thank you for your help!  And nice to hear that the problem isn't a major one: Important attributes are preserved anyway.

I'm glad that my report helped.

Ferret has forever tried to be case-insensitive, letting users ignore the upper- or lower-case spelling of variables.  Here there was a tangle in some of our logic for this because when the names are in quotes they should be handled in a case-sensitive way.  (If your file had happened to use an upper-case Z, this would all work!)

Aha!  Makes sense.  Thank you for the explanation.

Cheers,

Ryo
