Results different in Output window than Immediate Window

[Dave]

I'm getting different results when I display a value in
the Output window as opposed to the Immediate window.
Why?

Code to recreate problem:

'Purpose: Get different results from Output
window than Immediate
' window.

Dim sInput As String = Chr(48) & Chr(48) & Chr
(48) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(48)
Dim sExpression As String
Dim m As Match
Dim re As Regex

'Pull everything but the garbage on the end.
sExpression = "(?<fieldvalue>.+\w+)(?
<garbage>\W*)"
re = New Regex(sExpression)
m = re.Match(sInput)
If m.Success Then

'Debug.writeline returns "6".
Debug.WriteLine(Now.ToString & " length is "
& m.Result("${fieldvalue}").Length)

'Set a breakpoint on the Beep.
'Run "? m.Result("${fieldvalue}").Length) in
the
'Immediate window.
'I get "3". Why different than "6" above?
Beep()
Else
MessageBox.Show("Something went way wrong.")
End If

End Sub

I'm getting different results when I display a value in
the Output window as opposed to the Immediate window.
Why?

The debugger doesn't handle strings containing null characters
correctly.

Hi Dave,

This is a known issue. The problem lies in the debug API and will not be
fixed.
