Nested If...Else...Endif Haywire

[armsys]

After repeated tests, I discover a mystery stemming from If..Endif construct.
Referring to the following code, let's assume notepad* exists. In fact, in accordance with MS Debugger, the SetFocus>notepad* runs successfully.
Run>me.exe is still executed. But why?

Code: Select all

IfWindowOpen>notepad*
  SetFocus>notepad*
Else
  If>{pos("ABC", %COMPUTER_NAME%)=1}
      //Do Something here
  Endif
  Run>me.exe
Endif

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rabbit.

Seems to be caused by the complex expression. This works fine:

Code: Select all

IfWindowOpen>notepad*
  SetFocus>notepad*
Else
  Let>x={pos("ABC", %COMPUTER_NAME%)}
  If>x=1
      //Do Something here
  Endif
  Run>me.exe
Endif

I will get this investigated.

Marcus, thanks for your fast help.
My recent intensive use of complex expressions seems bumpy.
I took me some time to discover the freaky path of the execution.
Before I didn't know it could be caused by the complex expression.
At last, the myth is confirmed.

Marcus,

While on the subject. Why must the types in a complex expression be the same? It seems like this restriction really limits the usefulness of complex expressions. Could you make multiple types possible?

Thanks.
