Function "format" not found

[firecat888]

When I try to use function "format" in put verb, it reported that "mlr: function name not found: format".
But the function "format" exists in the document here.
My command example:
mlr put '$Subject=format("[{}]{}",${ID},$Subject)' example.csv

Hi @firecat888 ! The docs at https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ are for latest/HEAD while I imagine you're using the latest released version which is 6.0.0. And format was added after the 6.0.0 release.

This is confusing ... I put "Miller latest documentation" as the title at https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ but it's still a bit weird -- when you install Miller from a package manager like Brew/Conda/Chocolatey/etc you'll get the release program version (like 6.0.0) by default and you can download/install the latest program version if you choose to. Whereas you get the latest docs version by default and you can click through to release doc versions if you choose to.

Anyway, for the present moment -- you can get a latest program version here: https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-miller/.

And I hope to release 6.1.0, with format and other nice new things, hopefully in a few weeks ...
