Having trouble with some syntax
|
So I have an alias that adds an item(%2) to a list(list) in a database(%1) and I'm having some trouble. This syntax worked in zmud but I'm having trouble figuring it out in cmud:
#additem %1.list {%2}
or
%1.list = whatever
I've tried various things, a few crashing cmud altogether. Any suggestions? |

The problem is implicit concatenation - you're not telling CMUD where the variable part of the name ends and the string begins. Use %concat to put them together explicitly.
I'm not sure how additem handles having a data record key as the name, either. An alternative would be something like
#addkey %1 list %additem(%2,@{%concat(%1,".list"}) |

If you can manage to write a procedure for something that crashes cmud a bug report would be very much appreciated. |

Currently the commands like #ADDITEM can only take the name of a variable as it's first argument. You can do something like
#additem var.list item
since "var.list" is not the simple name of a variable. This is one of the things that I am working on adding in the beta versions. And yes, the syntax:
var.list = whatever
currently has trouble as well. In general, nested lists and lists within database items do not work very well. |
