Why do LC (and HC for that matter) fail to process multi-line variables when
using "do"?
on mouseUp
--get "AA" & return & "BB"
get "AA"
repeat with y = 1 to 2
do "put" && it && "into temp" & y
end repeat
answer temp2
end mouseUp
If the variable "it" contains one line, the "do" construction
works fine, making numbered temp variables as needed. But if I try the routine
with a multi-line "it", the handler
will not compile.
LC complains as: execution error at line 5 (do: error in source expression)
near "put AA", char 1
HC complains as well, that it cannot understand "BB".
It seems that the routine breaks simply because of the other lines, that is,
the next line in "it" is not understandable by the parser. I wonder why it
bothers to look there.
Don't tell me I need two levels of "do": (do "do put...) Just kidding, that
fails also.
Just asking.
