Hello all!

I came across this snippet:
`Array nameBuffer -> 100;

length = name.print_to_array(nameBuffer, 100);`

I found print_to_array in the Designer’s Manual on page 70 (80 in the PDF) but it doesn’t include the second argument. I think it’s safe to infer that the second argument is the maximum buffer size but where is this documented?

Thank you!

The answer is in the ReleaseNotes.html file.
The second parameter is for the Glulx version of the function.

That explains that, thanks!
