Forums Bug Reports Simple error bug

To reproduce put this in your remotes:

and type this line:
/test a
And you will get an error like this:
* /elseif: invalid format (line 3, script.ini)
That (obviously) isn't right, since there isn't an elseif in the script.

If you type this line:
/test blah
and it works properly, with an error like this:
* /if: invalid format (line 3, script.ini)

Reproduced on mIRC 6.03.

alias test {
if ($1 == blah) { echo -a $1 }
if ($1 == blah ) { echo -a $1 }
}

Interesting bug.

I'm guessing this happens because mIRC looks for an else/elseif-statement immediately after a failed if-statement, so when it comes to choosing which error to display, it simply checks for the presence of this failed if state flag.

try using a closed parenthesis and maybe take a programming class.

Yes, good observation, however a bug nonetheless as there is no elseif in that alias.

how bout you shut yo' mouth and re-read the original post along with Rela.

the missing parenthesis is intentional.

that means we are well aware that it is missing.

the bug is the error message that is being reported.

the cause of the error is not up for discussion.

I am typing in double space so you can absorb this information easier.

I stand corrected, I thought it was mIRC just handling the 'if' differently when following another if. My appologies to anyone I may have irritated in the other thread.
