Reading Dan's Book

[Douglas Mackay]

I am reading volume 1 of Dans book on page 287 ( or 313 in pdf)  he says  
I just type the following line into the message box and hit Enter. The file will then

contain one task I can work with as a starting point. Notice that I set this task's 
order

item (the first item in the line) to 1 since it's the first and so far only task in 
the file.

put 1|Task A|A|Pending|8/31/03|8/31/03|Note for Task A into URL

file:MyToDo.txt but the message box come up with a Script compile error:
Error description: Expression: bad factor, What does this mean  ? what am I doing 
wrong ? when I open thos file with notepad the file is empty 

anyone explain  to me please what a bad factor is

It means there's something wrong with the syntax when Revolution 
tries to parse the statement. (For example, if you try to divide a 
number by a letter.)

This statement works fine for me in the message box. Are you sure 
you're putting the whole thing on one line? (There shouldn't be a 
line break after the word URL, just in case.)

Also, double-check the quotes. If 1|Task 
A|A|Pending|8/31/03|8/31/03|Note for Task A isn't surrounded by 
double quotes, you will get a bad factor error because Revolution 
will think the slashes are operators and try to do division.
