Now what am I doing wrong? I need to convert the value in a
hash to a string:
$ p6 'my $x = "acme"; my Str $y; my %Vendors = ( acme => ContactName =>

Try eliminating “acme =>” for a starter.

Hi Tom,
It was a shortened version of a lager has within a hash.
$ p6 'my $x = "acme"; my %Vendors = ( acme => { ContactName => "Larry",
AccountNo => 1234 } ); say %Vendors{$x}<ContactName> ~ "\t" ~
%Vendors{$x}<AccountNo>;'
$p6 'my $x = "acme"; my %Vendors = ( acme => { ContactName => "Larry",
AccountNo => 1234 } ); my Str $y = %Vendors{$x}<ContactName>.Str; say $y;'
I just shortened it to test syntax. I need the value of the hash to
going into a string. It did but the error message I got back
confused the heck out of me.
Type Str does not support associative indexing.
Made me think something was wrong with the hash. The hash
and was fine.
I found it by disregarding the error message and looking for
ANYTHING I had changed.
My error turned out be `$var<br>` (HTML "Break") being mistaken
for something else in a string assignment. Breaking the
variables apart with `$var ~ "<br>"` fixed it.
Thank you for the help anyway. There is a lot of great folks
on this list. :-)
