If you run this from Ted (don't think target matters, but I'm using C++), the expected popup error states:

Error : Syntax error - unexpected token '"Hello

Function Main ()
	Print "Hello
End Function

Function Nothing ()

End Function


However, the console output shows this:


Parsing...
C:/Documents and Settings/James/Desktop/test.monkey<3> : Error : Syntax error - unexpected token '"Hello
End Function

Function Nothing ()

End Function

'
Done.



It's showing the remainder of the source code. Note that the initial popup message includes the starting ' and the console output ends with ' so I'm guessing there's some sort of parsing error going on related to that.

yes when the end quote is missing, it takes the file from the start of the quote to the end of the file as part of a single quote. I guess since it's missing the end quote it produces that error.
I have done that many times.

I think it's also related to the fact that Monkey allows multiple statements per line, like this:

Function Main () Print "Hello" End Function


... so it can't tell where the Hello line ends.

Gotta say, I think a statement separator ought to be required here! I find the above far too ambiguous and can't see why it's permitted.

The statement separator is ; Trans should produce compilation errors in the line you're writing, but the compiler is just ignoring them.

Agreed!

Seen this one, Mark? Just checked with 67c and notice it's still there. Know you've been busy though!
