Forums Bug Reports /var prob

why is that:
var %z. [ $+ [ %i ] ] = 1 sets %z to "= 1" instead of "1"?

var %z. [ $+ [ %i ] ] 1 works fine...
var %z.5 = 1 works fine too...

why isn' t it working correctly if [] and = are present at the same time?
/var is supposed to be syntaxed with a "=" (i know it also works ok without it)

you don't actually need the []'s when you use /set or /var, only when trying to access the contents of that variable later. If you do

var %z. $+ %i = 1

it will work just fine, as would

set %z. $+ %i 1

If you try it out though you'll see that //var %i = 1 | var %z. $+ %i = 1 A | echo -a %z.1 will actually echo = 1 A. It's a bug.

Oh, my mistake.. guess I should have actually tried that before I said anything. Yes, this does appear to be a bug.

So why is that a bug? *looks confused*

%i = 1
var %z.%i (%z.1) = 1 A
%z.1 = 1 A

hmm?

I can see why the first one is a bug since it returns a '=' but yours looks fine.

Eamonn.

But mine echoes an equals sign aswell.
