Local Varible parsing/syntax error
|
| Code: |
<alias name="test" id="739">
<value>#print
#local $startt,$endt,$count
$val = 1
#print "val is" $val
#if ($val) {#print declared} {#print not declared}</value>
</alias> |
Ctrl+K, gives no error
run the alias, notice that no value is printed, and the if statement shows that $val is not declared as a local variable.
On the first line, add space between comma and next local var, or replace with space, run alias again, 1 is displayed and is noticed as a declared variable.
Ctrl+k no error
#local delcared local varibles do work with and with out space
Unknown if this was pre 3.06, just noticed this in current test script writing. |

you shouldn't be declaring a localvar that isn't used in the first place
I can confirm this behavior however.
Also, the help file has no mention of using commas, so it could just be a matter of improper syntax |

Yeah, not sure where i picked up using commas in there.
And I found this in a script where I was using all of the #local declared variables, and then about a page down assigned a value to a local variable i hadn't declared with #local, and couldn't see both lines.... |

The problem is with the commas. Remember that the general syntax for ALL #commands in CMUD (and zMUD) is that the arguments for the command are separated by SPACES. So the correct syntax is:
#LOCAL $startt $endt $count
without any commas. I'm not sure why using the commas didn't flag any syntax error, but I'll look into that. |
