Text string bug

[dunbarx]

When I issue a command which results in multi-line output perhaps better described as multi-screen output, any output after the --More-- prompt is highlighted.
The only method I can find to get it back to normal white text on black background is to use the ? character the device syntax is similar to a cisco syntax.

Is this another topic?

It does not read like spam.

But it is. Or a placeholder for a spamlink.

Klaus is on the case.

The problem comes with finding similarly simple syntax for relational operators - <, >, <=, >= - although I guess the following aren't too unpleasant:

Code: Select all

put "20" < string "3" -- true
put "20" < number 3 -- false

Optional inline type declarations like that would seem a great solution.

I much prefer it over a system property option like "the compareNumeric", which would be more cumbersome in many ways.

I think this is a good enhancement. The LC parser does a very good job at not needing this, but of course not absolutely everywhere. "String" is already a reserved keyword, though. "Number" is still open...

I'm not a huge fan of other languages tendency to duplicate operators for different purposes, but perhaps a "<" means compare as is now the case and "<<" means compare "strictly".

Meh, I am not a fan already.
