Hi,
during my first steps into the fantastic new scripting possibilities
(thanks Bob!) I ran into a problem with "for" loops:
I wanted to program a countdown loop that displays a countdown in the
top left corner.
The first thing I noticed was that I had to provide the whole loop
commands in a single line. Distributing it over several lines as in the
example provided in the documentation resulted in the following error
message:
script compiler ERROR: missing END for for
My script commands first initialize the echo and then run the countdown:
set echo myecho 1% 99%; ~cd="Start"; echo %{~cd};
for ( var i=5; i>0; i = i - 1); ~cd=i; delay 1; end for; ~cd="";
The loop never got beyond displaying "5" and I had to type "quit" in
order to be able to run additional commands.
If I used a "while" loop instead it worked as expected:
i=5; while (i>0); ~cd=i; delay 1; i = i - 1; end while; ~cd="";
While testing this I noticed that the application (in contrast to the
applet) freezes immediately after typing the last letter of the command
"pause".
---- Test System ----------------
Jmol: 11.3.25, application
Java: 1.5.0_12
OS : Linux, OpenSuSE 10.2
