struct error unknown name

[CodeCrusher]

I'm having a little trouble with a struct.

GLOBAL $1BD = "struct;CHAR _0_0[94];" _&

";CHAR _341_1[4];endstruct;"

This is a multi line code using _& to continue but it comes back as an unknown name and I'm looking at someone else code who explained to me that this style of struct worked before. For whatever reason it's coming up as an unknown name. Originally the string was far too long (9K + chars) but it would come back unterminated string which I believe i figured out now but I'm completely lost on this one.

Use the correct continuation sequence:

GLOBAL $1BD = "struct;CHAR _0_0[94];" & _
              ";CHAR _341_1[4];endstruct;"

Thank you that cleared it up. apparently ever time I've used the expression I missed the space.

You just typed & and _ in the wrong order. The continuation character _ must follow a valid token and be followed by an optional whitespaces + comment and the end of line. Comment and EOL are discarded, concatenating input with the next line.

It also requires a leading space to avoid ambiguity:

$a = 2
$a_ = 5
$ab = 23

ConsoleWrite($a_)       ; works
ConsoleWrite($a _       ; works
)
ConsoleWrite($a_        ; bad syntax: missing )
)
ConsoleWrite($a _       ; that won't write $ab
b)                      ; bad syntax: b
