I am finding that parentheses within strings break value()
put value ("Abc" & 45 & "123(def)")
produces
Script compile error:
Error description: local: not a valid variable or constant name
If I escape it as
put value ("Abc" & 45 & "123\(def\)")
it produces
Abc45123
I don't think that either of these is correct, or am I missing something?
I am trying to assemble strings which have variable names using custom
properties for using in database queries, such as
"SELECT foo FROM " & tableName & " WHERE bar > 7;"
and in my learned paranoia, I want to wrap each condition with parentheses
when I have more than one (I got tired of remembering precedence rules for
each language, and which ones are screwy, and . . .)
