[3.22] BUG? #addkey 1 2 3 fails.
|
#addkey doesn't accept numbers, even in quotes, for variable names.
Examples:
| Code: |
#addkey 1 2 3
#addkey "1" "2" "3"
#addkey "1" "two" "three" |

A variable name can not begin with a number or an '_'. There are few others I believe, you special chars etc.

Variable names most certainly can begin with an _, though I don't think it's really advised. As far as numbers go, Tech is correct about that. Especially now with the "by reference" option, you don't want to do something like: #CALL %additem(1, test) and have it send the variable 1 to test instead of the number 1.

Mmm, I guess I wasn't aware of this. I certainly knew you couldn't use numbers as the names of aliases.
Also, Char, wouldn't only the 2nd argument in %additem ever be a variable reference? |

Good point, GS. Hadn't thought about that.
I remember bringing up the use of numbers as aliases, though, which screwed up scripts because %eval no longer worked. If I had an alias of 1, %eval(10-1) would return nothing. Oh well.

You definitely should not use numbers for variable names.
