I was trying to using this code to extract all the occurrences of

[loop start=3D1&end=3D9]
[text]ts=3D[middle startafter=3Dabc][ts][/middle][/text]
[appendfile lines][index]-[ts]
[/writefile]

I was expecting this:

1-123abc456abc789abc000
2-456abc789abc000
3-789abc000
4-000
5-
6-
7-
8-
9-

But instead I got this:

1-123abc456abc789abc000
2-456abc789abc000
3-789abc000
4-000
5-000
6-000
7-000
8-000
9-000

I had expected middle to produce blank/empty results when it could
not find the first occurrence of abc, but instead it returned the
entire ts value.

Has middle always worked like this, and I have simply never used
middle in this manner during 20 years of WebDNA programming?

Or is this a glitch or bug?
