Title: Compound strings/variable declaration
Post by: MrTAToad on 2010-Dec-07

I've been wondering why the following :

Code (glbasic) Select

temp$=country$+" "

produced :

Quoteerror : wrong argument type :

It turns out I have the following variables defined :

Code (glbasic) Select

	LOCAL country AS tCountry
	LOCAL path$,temp$,found%,countryCode%,country$,defLanguage$

I believe its using country (as tCountry) instead of country$

I guess $ is not part of the variable name, so you defined "country" twice.

Yes, that was the conclusion I can to too. However, in that case, the compiler should generate an error message...

However, doing :

Code (glbasic) Select


path$=country$
INC path$," "

Works :/

This is a small example :

Code (glbasic) Select

TYPE tTest
	moo%
ENDTYPE

LOCAL test AS tTest
LOCAL test$,temp$

temp$=test$+" "
