Pretend that it said "unexpected newline". The parser translates a newline (when not preceded by a backslash) to a semicolon, so newline and semicolon can be used interchangeably as statement separators. By the time the parser notices the syntax error, the translation has already occurred, If there is a newline after the "=", that would explain the syntax error. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
