[2.01] parsing error
|
| Code: |
| #ALIAS do_something {say hi} |
suppose inside a trigger you have:
| Code: |
#IF (@balance) {
#SAY I have balance
do_something
}
|
the output will be:
I have balance do_something
| Code: |
#IF (@balance) {
#SAY I have balance
do_something
}
|
echos I have balance
and performs say hi as expected. |

I don't think that's a parsing error. I think it has to do with the stricter rules about indenting. But my brains been fried for a few days so I'm sure someone will correct me.

It's hard to imagine that a hard return wouldnt be as effective as a hard return plus 2 spaces.

It's been discussed and documented, however. Tech is right, and your problem is caused by your lack of indentation. CMUD assumes that the non-indented line is a continuation of the previous line. It's a feature, though I can see how it can cause some confusion.

Yep, Tech is correct. CMUD is *very* picky about proper indentation with multi-line scripts. Sort of like Python in this regard. That's why CMUD has the Reformat Script option in the Editor menu (Ctrl-M)
Think of it this way...it's good practice to learn that whitespace *does* matter in some programming languages. |
