I have a script that 'do(es) another script.
The called script assembles a string and returns
it to the caller by placing the string word as
the last line in the script. Fine.
But the called script has numerous places where
an error can occur and I would like to return
a partially assembled string at that point.
How to do this? 'return only works in a function
and 'halt doesn't seem to allow the script to return
the last evaluated argument.
In psuedocode what I want is:
if (some condition)
[
return "string1"
]
but I obviously can't use 'return and the following:
if (some condition)
[
"string1"
halt
]
does not return "string1" to the caller.
There doesn't appear to be a 'goto call where I can just
go to the end of the script either.
How are you guys accomplishing this sort of thing? (And more
philosophically - why can't you use 'return in a script?)
TIA,
Rodney
