 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:31 pm Post subject: Question involving using Strings to work |
 |
|
After looking through near every article on strings on the wiki and on the past three pages of this forum, I have yet to get them to work.
Even with the simplest example given from the wiki:
| Code: |
$1 = "Hello "
$2 = "Bob"
$1 += 2
show string (1) #this will show the string "Hello Bob" |
When compiled, will give me a:
| Errors and Warnings wrote: |
Unrecognized name $1="hello". It has not been defined as script, constant, variable, or anything else.
|
So I'd just like to know, what am I missing that's preventing me from using strings?
Alternatively, I've had to use a series of [Append Ascii]; however, this becomes troublesome when every string is a single letter (as I have no alternative way to merge strings together).
Help please :_; |

Make sure you got the latest plotscr.hsd and the latest hspeak
Hopefully this helps.

The error message means that you are not using the latest hspeak. You have to download it separately from the nightlies of game and custom. http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/nightly/hspeak-win-nightly.zip
If you run hspeak with no command-line option, you should see this help screen:
| Code: |
HamsterSpeak semicompiler v3Gc (C)2002 James Paige&Hamster Republic Productions
Please read LICENSE.txt for GPL License details and disclaimer of liability
HSPEAK.EXW [-cdfksawyz] source.hss [dest.hs]
-c colors will be disabled
-d dump debug report to hs_debug.txt
-f fast mode. disables some optimization
-k do not wait for a keypress when finished
-s print the name of each script as it is compiled
-a same as -s, but including autonumbered scripts
-w suppress minor warnings
-y overwrite the destination file without asking
-z write error messages to hs_error.htm
For more info about Hamsterspeak visit http://HamsterRepublic.com/ohrrpgce
This is a command-line program. You should either run it from the command-line
(DOS prompt) or you should drag and drop your script file onto it.

If your version is "v3Gc" and you are still seeing the error message, let us know. |

My version of hspeak is v3Gc. 
What's odd is that I can't seem to get this one script to work either my home laptop or my work computer. |

And you have the latest HSD?
Can you post the entire script?

Latest .HSD (6/1/07), check.
And...That was the entire script.
| Code: |
script, unfunctional, begin
$1 = "Hello "
$2 = "Bob"
$1 += 2
show string (1) #this will show the string "Hello Bob"
end |

Hey, I can reproduce this. Here's my entire file:
| Code: | include, plotscr.hsd
script, unfunctional, begin
$1 = "Hello "
$2 = "Bob"
$1 += 2
show string (1) #this will show the string "Hello Bob"
end |
It does the same thing with or without a define script. This smells like a bug in HSPEAK.

Yay! I'm not alone.
So...could anyone show me a script with strings that actually work? |

Oh, wow. The example on the wiki was all wrong. I just fixed it.
is wrong, and should be replaced by:
Which is silly because hamsterspeak is absurdly lenient about spaces everywhere else, so it shouldn't be strict about them in just one place. I filed bug 401 about this.
Second,
is wrong, and should be:

No spaces between +", =", $+, $=, or any other operator like := or -- allowed. I guess we could allow whitespace between +, = and ", since they're not operators so much as magic tokens. People might start complaining about $ a += "b" next.

Right, =" is a magic tokens, not an operator. It is not implemented in the same way as other operators, is it?.
They aren't likely to realize that =" is an operator. Instead they are more likely to think that = is the operator, and that the "quotes" are just marking the string.
You and I know that there is no operator here at all, just some magic syntax that vaguely resembles operators. |

Hmm, I was quite wrong. Spaces are allowed inside operators. Anyway, it's changed now.
