Is Clearall supposed to clear previously recorded rows? #95

allan-silverstein commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have a scenario where I'm using Filldown. At some point, I want to clear all Filldown data but not have it affect previously recorded rows. It seems that when I use Clearall, it is clearing even rows that supposedly have all ready been processed and recorded? Does this sound right? Thx

No, ClearAll should just clear all values in the current row (including Filldown columns). Perhaps you are reusing a previously returned row someone? This depends on what the rest of your code looks like.

Ok, thx. Can I just attached textfsm and text file to this thread?
