script-problem in Linux

2002-01-20 Thread Christoph Wollek 

Halo MC-Linux-experts,

Linux is driving me crazy! The script:

repeat for each line l in it
  if a = 2 and bh = schrift and #9; is not in l then next repeat
...
end repeat

will Linux not accept, on the Mac it works.

The Script Error stack put the cursor before the if-line and explains:

Script missing '' after literal
Handler: bad character between handlers

deleting the # in that line does not help, putting the elements in
paranthesis () neither. The script is not accepted.

Any hints will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Christoph.

 someProgramName-2.mc, someProgramName-3.mc etc.  Those number don't
 mean anything at all, except to show that they are copies of the
 original, in case I ball up the original.  But the original, I want
 to keep working in, and just save copies as I go, for safekeeping.

Having worked in a professional editorial environment for 30 years, where
numerous galleys (previous versions)  of any given document must be
maintained for safety sake and revision control, I want to affirm the
above... PLEASE don't change it... the current Mac way of implementing
Save As means that you end up in a new document and the old document as
it was disappears. This has bitten our editors more than once, where the
current document gets corrupted and there is no file on disc with the latest
revisions. To overcome this we have a policy that before you start work on a
new document you should make a copy of it... name it with a new revision
number and continue working in the original...this is a big nuisance. And a
lot of grief would be saved if Quark Express did it the Metacard/Rev way.
