Forums Bug Reports Simple error bug. (mIRC 6.1)

I know some of you are going to quote me on this, so before anyone does (tontito) I know I am missing parenthesis.
Collective made a post about this bug in mIRC 6.03 I believe, however it is still there. I noticed something else in the process of testing it.

Now when I do:
/test a
I get:
-
a
-
* /if: invalid format (line 3, script.ini)
-
Nw, when I do:
/test b
I get:
-
* /if: invalid format (line 3, script.ini)
-
* /elseif: invalid format (line 3, script.ini)
-
for some reason.
Maybe it is just me with the /if and /elseif, but I upgraded to mIRC 6.1 and that bug is still there.

No [censored]! You have to close the if statement!

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

I did say you'd quote me on it, I know I missed the ) out, I was just saying it is returning /IF and /ELSEIF, next time READ..

Seems like a bug to me, there is no elseif there...

I agree, in fact, I've noticed several times before, in a series of if statements, that on odd occasions, it will return an /elseif error when there is no else if statement.

I figure this to be that mIRC (when going through scripts) will treat the first if statement as it should, and if there is one after the initial statement, and the initial if hasn't met the criteria, it treats it like an else if.

Of course, I could be very wrong.

That is what you call syntax error. This is not a bug in mirc. Your if-sentence is not complete, so how can you POSSIBLY expect mIRC to behave like this and that, just because your if-sentence looks the way it does? Stupid post and waste of time. Can't believe I actually replied to this.

It's surprising how many people completely fail to get SladeKraven's point and resort to insults instead...

What he's saying is that when there's a syntax error in an /if statement, mirc reports an /elseif error. This only happens when the previous /if statement is false.

If it's a syntax error, the /elseif is a hallucination? I don't think so.
It's only stupid to you because you like many others cannot read properly, the post name is Simple error bug, would you like that in simpler form.

Ironic that only Pheonix, Codemastr and Qwerty actually knew what I was saying and you didn't know.
I did say people would quote me on that, if you had read my post slower, you would have probably undestood, I can't interpret the post any clearer.


It should be returning * /if: invalid format
not /elseif.

Yes, I see now and I stand corrected. My apologies to SladeKraven for ranting at him like that

Apology accepted.

You probably should have linked to the earlier thread in question, where this bug is already explained in excruciating detail.
