The n switch on $read and other switches on $read and $readini (but all identifiers' switches in general) do not take the dash character before them, unsure if the dash is ignored and it still work or not.
Quite right. Adding a dash next to the "
-nw" switches in a identifier
$read is the older way, but this does not affect negatively the operation of the identifier in any way.
According to my observations during testing: "
$read(file.txt, -nw, match)" or "
$read(file.txt, nw, match)" - both examples works the equally.
In this case, it's an old habit of mine, and i like that more, how the switches stand out visually better in a line of code. However, it is of course recommended to use the new standard without dashes.
