Sorry – I got caught on the same thing you did. You need to have
the “test” command after “if”:
{(set -s word = "blammo")}
result: {(wikish if test ${#word} -gt 10; then; echo
"string too big"; else; echo "string just right"; fi)}
Yep, sure enough. Just typed it into my control panel and it works
fine now.
Looks like I need a clearer error message if someone puts an
invalid MX after the if… I’ll put that on the development roadmap.
Hope t hat helps!

Subject: WikiSh - check string length
and one more WikiSh question while we're at it:
and again, i'm not understanding why this won't work - i want to
check the length of a string, and if it's too long, i'd like to
print something different out... this is what i had hoped would work:
{(set -s word = "blammo")}
result: {(wikish if ${#word} -gt 10; then; echo "string
too big"; else; echo "string just right"; fi)}
however, the result i get is
result = {#word} -gt 10)
string too big
any ideas on how i can get the string length to be treated like a
number and then successfully pushed thru the if statement?
thanks
adam
