Bug in IfFileExists?

[tony_smith]

Is this a bug in IfFileExists>...? The line;

IfFileExists>,RPTFL,start,End

... Produces the error message; "Error - Subroutine/label start,End Not found"

This works...

IfFileExists>,RPTFL,start
Goto>End

I am using MSched Ver 7.2.051b1

I suspect that you have a trailing space character at the end of the line.

Using the Editor, click on Edit, Show All Chars, and you will see it there.
Click on Edit, Remove Trailing Spaces and all lines will be cleaned.

Another possiblilty is using the correct Case. Labels and varialbles are case sensitive.
"start" is not the same as "Start", "End" is not the same as "end".
This script will not run properly:

Goto>end
...
...
...

Label>End

Hi Tony,

Referring to your IfFileExists>,RPTFL,start,End statement, are you sure it's a comma (,) sitting immediately after the greater than sign (>)? The syntax completely eludes my understanding.

Happy scripting.

Armstrong was the guest above.

Hi armsys....I saw that also, in his second example, but missed it in the first one with the problem. I interpreted that as "no file exists".

I think you are right. So, if no file exists, it would be looking for label "start,end" which is triggering that error.

And now that I look closer, that is the EXACT term used in the error message. Well Done!

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your rapid repsonse. We all learn a great deal of Macro Scheduler from you.

Ah, yes... so obvious... You are right Armstrong; the offending comma, no idea how that got there... seeing I am such a perfect typist 8-}.
Next time I am coding I SWEAR I will be wearing my reading glasses.

Thanks Armstrong and Bob... always there with help and suggestions.
