Hello,
Is it a bug or we cannot input some B4X keywords inside a SmartString string?



Thank you

This is a by design limitation related to performance considerations.

Tip: Better to use XUI.FileURI instead of the old WebViewAssetFile method.

Yes but It makes the smart string and all the code more difficult to read.

This is a very edge case and, as I already wrote, the performance overhead of dealing with this edge case isn't worth it.

It is very simple to create a workaround. For example change to ~Sub and later: content = content.Replace("~", "")
