This kind of forgiveness appears in other areas too - for example, you can write "firstVar&&secondVar" with no spaces, or "get rect of field 1" (with no "the") and it will work. I think the upside is that the syntax is a little looser, but the downside is that someone may get used to an erroneous way of writing code, only to get into trouble if it gets tightened up down the line -- jeanne a. e. devoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jaedworks.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Thanks for the correction, Jeanne... I think what threw me is that
apparently the engine doesn't require there to be a space after keywords
where there is something to evaluate that follows. So what appeared to me as
a function:
put URL("file:" & myURL)
was really something that Rev was allowing me to construct. I tested this
with the "while" keyword, and it turns out that this is perfectly valid:
put 1 into x
repeat while(x+1) < 10
put x after msg
add 1 to x
end repeat
... as is this using the keyword "word":
on mouseUp
put 1 into x
put word(x+1) of "This is a test"
end mouseUp
Although this is consistent, it still *looks* wrong to me... it looks like
"while" and "word" are functions in the example above. Is it just me, or is
this a bug that has been in the engine for a long time?
Just curious,

I'm afraid that's not right, Ken. URL isn't a function, and while
your example will work, Rev might not always let you get away with
leaving out the space after "URL".
The reason you need to use parentheses in statements like
get URL ("file:" & myURL)
is that URL resolution comes before "&" when resolving expressions.
(Ken can stop reading here, since he's an expert and knows what that
implies, but for everyone else: ;-)
If you write something like
get URL "file:" & myURL
the engine thinks you mean "get URL 'file:', then concatenate it to
the variable 'myURL'". Since "file:" by itself isn't a valid URL, you
don't get what you want.
Adding the parentheses forces the engine to do the concatenation
first, so you get the URL you're seeking. But in this case, the
parentheses have nothing to do with a function call; they're there to
straighten out the order in which the engine does the operations to
get the final value of the expression, 'URL "file:" & myURL'.

Yes, you can, but remember that URL is both a keyword and a function,
and
although it can work without parentheses for some file operations (like
"into"), it doesn't work when using "after" or "before" without using
parentheses, and can be touchy at other times.
So I think we've been "getting away" with saying:
put data into url "file:c:/my documents/test.txt"
when we really should be saying:
put data into url("file:c:/my documents/text.txt")
For example, this will fail to compile:
answer file "Get a file:"
if it <> "" then
put "hello" into url "file:"&it
end if
But this compiles fine:
answer file "Get a file:"
if it <> "" then
put "file:" & it into tFile
put "hello" into url tFile
end if
Better yet would be to use parentheses instead:
answer file "Get a file:"
if it <> "" then
put "hello" into url("file:"&it)
end if
Just my 2 cents,

write fails
I'm trying to log activity to a file with what I thought was a simple approach: put the date & " " & the long time & " " & m & Return into s write s to file "C:/RHOADS/EEOL2/Logs/log.txt" at end The file is not created automatically; after creating the file manually, the file remains empty; the path was copy-and-pasted from Windows Explorer, so I know it is correct; the string "s" has reasonable contents as verified with the Variable Watcher; and there are no run-time errors. Any thoughts? :) Jon ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
