Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.37] #if command inside #forall, failing

Novice Joined: 01 Jun 2005 Posts: 47

Hi!

I explain myself badly when talking about programming, so I will put examples of what I think it should do and what it does.

#forall @list {#if %i=cheese {#echo yeah}}

This forall was not working for me, the exact error was that I had an extra bracet, then I remove the bracet, and it wont work correcly either.

What I had to do to 'solve' it was to get an alias this way:

#forall @list {aliasname %i}

#alias aliasname {#if %1=cheese {#echo yeah}}

Hope this was not already posted, and I would like to know if this is a bug or if its supoused to work that way, thankyou!

hmm, original worked for me. Which means it makes no sense that the first didn't work and the second didn't. Might you have made a typo on the original one?

Just to be sure, you are expecting that whenever cheese is found on the list, that yeah will be printed. You aren't expecting any thing else to happen right?

It's generally because CMUD is more strict with commands. It should work either way, but try:

#FORALL @list {#IF (%i="cheese") {#echo yeah}}

will work. Quote the strings, parenthesize the arguments.

Both work charneus, at least for me. But it still doesn't explain why the first one did not work for Articval and his workaround did. Maybe it is the context of how he was using it?

Ok, got the difference:

If you guys do:

#FORALL @listacolores {%i;#IF (%i="yellowgreen") {#echo yeah}}

THAT is what is not going to work :)

If u remove the %i, then works like it should

That's because you can't start a line with a function.

#FORALL @listacolores {#EXEC {%i};#IF (%i="yellowgreen") {#echo yeah}}

WILL work.
