Local Variable with Prompt
|
I looked at the documentation and it doesn't say you can't use a local variable with the prompt. Should we be able to? I really don't want to have a global variable used because I am going to throw it away when I'm done.
Example:
| Code: |
#MENU 10 Add Character{#PR Name "Enter the name of the character"
#addkey friends @Name %selected} Identify |
I would like to be able to do this:
| Code: |
#MENU 10 Add Character{#local $Name #PR $Name "Enter the name of the character"
#addkey friends $Name %selected} Identify |
|

Yes, I believe you can, but you have to put semicolons between command statements:
| Code: |
| #MENU 10 Add Character{#local $Name;#PR $Name "Enter the name of the character";#addkey friends $Name %selected} Identify |

Nope. I didn't put the semi-colons in the example because it was like the following in the script text:
| Code: |
#local $Name
#$pr $Name "Enter in the name of the character:"
#addkey friends $Name %selected
|

That's correct, it could show up that way in your package editor. But it you put all the commands onto a single line (as you do if you are putting them all in the braces in your #MENU command), you must replace the carriage returns with semicolons.

Anyways.. We aren't talking about the syntax. The local variable doesn't work with #PROMPT command. This thread should be moved to the Beta Forum.

Ah, you didn't explicitly say that you had actually tried it with the correct syntax, which is why I was telling you to do so.
Actually, you post your code as:
| Code: |
#local $Name
#$pr $Name "Enter in the name of the character:"
#addkey friends $Name %selected |
If that is your code, you have an error. #$pr should be #pr.
Yes, if you are using version 3.xx, this should be in the Beta forum. |
