    From dream master@21:1/163 to g00r00 on Tue Dec 19 21:39:18 2017
    while testing a mpl
    i wrote "auto message with different color output"we
    found that the OR statement only works on the first condition and n
    ot therest.see code below:begin
    if paramcount < 1 then begin writeln('ACiDiC Auto Message
    Mpl'); writeln('invalid command-line. notify sysop
    '); writeln(''); writeln('example dm-auto o
    utput_color|DE|DE|DE'); writeln(''); writeln('
    choices are purple blue green red'); HALT;
    endpc := upper(paramstr(1));if not pc = 'PURPLE' or pc = '
    BLUE' or pc = 'GREEN' or pc = 'RED' thenbegin writel
    n('invalid parameter choices are purple blue green
    red|DE|DE'); halt;endsdate := datestr(datetime,1); dispfile('automsg2');change_msg;endi just want
    ed to see if any one else could reproduce this issue..

    see code below:

    I can confirm this when using an or statement it only picks the 1st and
    nothing after it, I had been substituting this with case statements instead.

    Cheers!

    if not pc = 'PURPLE' or pc = 'BLUE' or pc = 'GREEN' or pc = 'RED' then
    Use parenthesis... it happens in FPC also.

    DO it like this:
    if ((not pc = 'PURPLE') or (pc = 'BLUE') or (pc = 'GREEN') or (pc = 'RED')) then

    Haven't test it, but it should work.

    we found that the OR statement only works on the first condition and not rest.

    I responded to this in 0net but I'll respond here too in case you haven't
    seen it.

    pc := upper(paramstr(1));
    if not pc = 'PURPLE' or pc = 'BLUE' or pc = 'GREEN' or pc = 'RED' then

    This appears to be a programming logic error not a bug in Mystic. You are only adding NOT to the first condition. You need to use parenthesis when you want to negate an entire list of conditions:

    if not (pc = 'purple' or pc = 'blue') then

    Or you could also do:

    if pc <> 'purple' and pc <> 'blue' and pc <> 'green' then

    ok i will give it a try. i did attempt (pc = 'purple) or (pc='blue) then but that didnt work because it was not the entire list. will get back to ya
