[3.06] #PROMPT vs $local
|
#PROMPT $test "anything"
#SAY $test
as you can see, it doesn't retain the value past the #PROMPT itself, if it ever even got made. |

Since #PROMPT expects a regular variable name without @, it looks like you want it to write data to @{$test} variable.
$test = "Before #PROMPT"
#PROMPT $test "anything"
#SAY $test
You can see that $test value was not affected by #PROMPT |

That is the bug i am referring to, that #PROMPT does not work with local variables.

I think it is by design, not a bug. Anyway I'm not against local variables in #PROMPT in the future.

For local varibles you can use the %prompt function, and i'm thinking too that this was by design, not that I can remember why.
| Code: |
$test = "blah"
$test = %prompt($test,"Whoho, test message",)
#print $test
|
Is what your looking for I think. |

There is no way for #PROMPT to handle local variables. You must use %prompt as shown above.
