Assigning Strings to Variables

[Dintiradan]

I've been getting a lot of errors from Alint in my scripts. All of them original when I assign a string to a variable. Is something else wrong, or do I have to use buffer calls instead of assigning strings to variables (I really want to make sure this is the problem before I go over all of my scripts)?

post code

[ben4808]

char string[] = "Text";

char* string = "Text";

 

Or maybe there's a different string datatype used in BoA.

[Dintiradan]

Umm...

Code:

string = "string";

There's an error for every instance of this, at least in Alint.

 

EDIT: Beat to the post... by two seconds.

Are you sure the variable string is the correct datatype (declared as a string)?

As far as I can tell, you can only assign a string in that way in the variables section. So for example

 

variables;

string test = "Test.";

 

Would be legitamate, but if you tried to write

 

test = "test";

 

Somewhere in the body of the script it returns an error. If you need to do this then I think you have to use get_buffer_text().

 

Edit: The problem isn't with Alint, I tried to assign a string in this way and got a missing semicolon error when I tested it in BOA (No, I wasn't missing a semicolon, I think its either the wrong format or just not a valid way to assign strings).

[Dintiradan]

Yes, I did declare it as a string.

 

Guess I'm going to have to change my code. The only thing is that I'm getting errors from scripts I alpha tested before, script I could have sworn worked fine before. Oh well.

You didn't call your variable "string", did you? Because I'm certain that would cause errors...

[Dintiradan]

Don't worry, I didn't. Anyway, went over my code, changed everything so it used the buffer, and now it works. Why assigning a string to a declared variable gets a semicolon error is beyond me.

Sounds like a possible bug, perhaps it should be added to the list.
