Can anyone explain how I can use a colon separator?
Should the "Print(y)" and "Print(z)" not be ignored if x <> 1?


x = 0
y = 2
z = 3

Do

If x = 1 Then Print (x): Print(y): Print(z)

sync()

Loop

A colon is effectively a line end. Are you trying to do this:

Using a colon to string together several commands on one line is something which is a bit of a legacy from when you had to input line numbers as well as code.

It still works in AppGameKit v2 as demonstrated by the following snippet..



However, you cannot use this with If/Then blocks as BatVink said.

I am doing exactly as BatVink says. It saves a lot of lines.
I use this in Visual Basic and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the replies.

v1 have sometimes very lazy compiler erros for a basic language.
normal is the line break the command separator & endif and : should work after then as expected.

thats similar batvink example

Remember a colon is the same as a newline in AGK2, so...

If x = 1 Then Print (x): Print(y): Print(z)

is the same as writing

If x = 1 Then Print (x)
Print(y)
Print(z)

What is needed is

If x = 1
Print(x)
Print(y)
Print(z)
EndIf

If you want that on one line you could write it as..

If x = 1 : Print(x): Print(y): Print(z): EndIf
