Hi. I posted about execute() here (http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=265888#Post265888), but did not get any takers. I receive an alert box with an error message when I do this:

> execute("temp=5;");

...but not this...

> execute("temp+=1;");

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Both works here.

function main()
{
execute("temp=1;");
execute("temp+=1;");
}

But "temp" is not defined in lite-C, only in WDL, maybe you were using lite-C instead of WDL?

Yeah; I'd originally posted in the C-Script forum, which I now realize I didn't explicitly mention here(!). If it helps, I'm calling this from the console when it complains.

Under lite-C, the console does not call execute() but var_for_name. var_for_name can assign a value (=), but can not add a value (+=).

Yup. But I'm typing this from the console, and running .WDLs:

> execute("temp=5;");



Thanks.

Ah, now I understand what you did.. You found an endless recursion. "execute()" is certainly not a good parameter for execute(). This is almost a Turing bug.

I'll mention in the manual that one must not type "execute" in the console.

Aha. Thanks!
