Module and Window names containing "-" can't be referenced by //
|
Create a global Module or Window with a hyphen ("-") in its name. Then make a variable in it.
Then:
| Code: |
#SHOW @testvar
This is in Test-Module
#SHOW @//Test-Module/testvar
-Module/testvar
#SHOW @{//Test-Module/testvar}
(parser error popup) |
Rename the module, replacing the "-" with some other character, like "_"
| Code: |
#SHOW @//Test_Module/testvar
This is in Test-Module
#SHOW @{//Test_Module/testvar}
This is in Test-Module |

The '-' character isn't allowed in identifier names. The parser gets confused by the "minus" operator. You can only use "_" in identifier names. This is true in many other programming languages, so it's better to just get used to not using '-' in names like this.

I figured, so therefore the UI should not allow you to set the name of a module or window when it contains a "-"

True. It will be lower priority, but I'll see if I can add validation to the editor in the future. Right now everything just uses a normal Windows Edit control, so you can type any characters that you want (including spaces).

Another workaround is that @{"//Test-Module/var"} seems to work, of course at the cost of some time...
