Posiblyquotename issue?

ubi
I am using version 6.2.2.2.
I wrote a function (which used to work fine) which automatically quote the path name of the waves which are availiable.
FUNCTION/S Quoted(path) string path variable i for(i=0;i<itemsinlist(path,":");i+=1) path=ReplaceString(StringFromList(i, path,":"), path, PossiblyQuoteName(StringFromList(i, path,":"))) endfor return path END
I noticed last week that the output of this function gives me now a wrong path. E.g. for a wave with the path root:Data:0708M9:0708M9_up, the function returns root:Data:'0708M9':'0708M9'_up which in turn induces a lot of other errors in my other function.
I did not noticed such errors before. Maybe something changed in the code of the igor functions changed?
Does someone have an idea?
I tried it in Igor Pro 6.06, 6.12 and 6.22A and got the same result (root:Data:'0708M9':'0708M9'_up). However PossiblyQuoteName("0708M9_up") returns the right thing in all versions.
Here is my rewrite of your function to make it clearer. Also it returns the right thing for "root:Data:0708M9:0708M9_up".

You can fix this by adding ", 0, 1" to the end of your ReplaceString call. This sets two optional parameters, caseSensitive=0 and maxReplacements=1.
I still prefer my version because it is easier to understand.
