It sounds like you are running into the change from ';' to '#' for the comment character. You could change it to something like this:

Do iPlatform.$assign(mid(trim(trim(trim($root.$clib.$tasks.Startup_Task.$methods.Mode.$methodlines.3.$text,kTrue,kFalse,';'),kTrue,kFalse,'#'),kTrue,kFalse) ,1,8)) ## Not tested

This would trim off the starting ';', then the '#', then the spaces, leaving you with just the test and then pick chars 1-8 (or whatever).

That way it would work in both Studio 6 and Studio 10.2.
