if else issue

[t0ddie]

$bak = ClipGet()

if $bak > "" then MsgBox(4096, "Test", "there is text in the clipboard", 10)

else sleep(10000)

endif

this is supposed to check if there is text in the clipboard, and if not.. sleep

i get an error saying else statement with no matching if statement.. yet i see the if statement right there.

how would i adjust this code.. so that it actually WORKS

thanks alot!

If you are going to use the else on a seperate line it has to be formatted:

$bak = ClipGet()
if $bak > "" then
   MsgBox(4096, "Test", "there is text in the clipboard", 10)
else
   sleep(10000)
endif

Or you can do it all on one line:

$bak = ClipGet()
if $bak > "" then MsgBox(4096, "Test", "there is text in the clipboard", 10) else sleep(10000)

This is all covered in the help file.
