sample path code getting error

[melristau]

Can't see why this is error-ing

If that's being call from a substack, it will have no filename itself. You can get the filename of its mainstack by using the "effective" keyword, e.g.:

Code: Select all

put the effective filename of this stack into nameToSave

Tip: When posting code here please post the text itself (ideally between code tags) rather than a screen shot to make it easier for others revise it for you.

Got it - Thanks FourthWorld

Still getting error:

stack "Planner11": compilation error at line 14 (Chunk: can't create a variable with that name (explicitVariables?)) near "nameToSave", char 45

Code: Select all

function path
   put the effective filename of this stack into nameToSave
   set the itemDelimiter to slash
   put item 1 to -2 of nameToSave & slash into tPath
   return tPath
end path

OK - I see that I recently activated "strict compilation"... getting errors on several of my scripts that previously worked OK. Deactivated that and I'm fine for now.

Hi Mel,

"strict compilation" requires to declare every single local variable you are using in your scripts or it will "rain" errors!

Wow, that code block looks familiar to me. Weird.
