Description

An error occurs when \DTLifSubString is used inside \DTLforeach. Error message:

Runaway argument?
\expandafter \dtl@ifsingle \expandafter {\dtl@first }{\expandafter \@dtl@testif
substring \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \dtl@getfirst was complete.

MWE

Download (335B)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{datatool}

\begin{filecontents*}{xx.csv}
2014.02.26
2014.11.12.tm
mm
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}

\DTLloaddb[noheader,keys={RowID}]{newbDB}{xx.csv}

\DTLforeach*{newbDB}{\RowID=RowID}%
{%
   \DTLifSubString{2014.02.26,26,2014.11.12.tm}{\RowID}{}{}%
}%

\end{document}

Evaluation

It turns out this error isn't connected to \DTLforeach and can be reproduced with a far simpler example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{datatool}

\begin{document}

\DTLifSubString{m}{mm}{TRUE}{FALSE}

\end{document}

This has now been fixed in v2.23.
