Tps testing error

[Scott Smith]

I am getting and error during thru the tps testing tool (gui)

the error: result = ‘wrong # args: extra words after “else” clause in “if” command’

Here is my “If statement”:

if {[string equal $MSH8 “A08″]} && {[string equal $PV131 ” “]} {

                           set dispList

                        }

                        else {

                           set dispList

                       }

                     

                       if {[string equal $PV132 “B7E”]} {

                           set dispList

                       } else {

                           set dispList

I think it is the &&, but I just can’t see it.

Scott,

I think you are missing a closing curly brace after the second if/else.

If you have an editor that lets you check for termination pairs ([ and { for example), use that to check to make sure you have matched pairs.

I found them they are there, just after 2 echos I put in here is the entire statement:

if {[string equal $MSH8 “A08″]} && {[string equal $PV131 ” “]} {

                           set dispList

                        }

                        else {

                           set dispList

                       }

                     

                       if {[string equal $PV132 “B7E”]} {

                           set dispList

                       } else {

                           set dispList

 

                     

 

 echo $mh    

 echo $dispList

 }

I believe you need to remove the } { which are to the left and right of &&. Also, the }

               else {

should probably be } else {.

Code:

if {[string equal $MSH8 “A08″] && [string equal $PV131 ” “]} {
  # …
}

Moving the brackets fixed one error now I get:

rong # args: no script following “{[string equal $MSH8 “A08″] && [string equal $PV13” argument’

[Charlie LaBaw]

I was able to run the following with no errors:

set MSH8 A08

set PV131 {0}

set PV132 B7x

set mh message

if {[string equal $MSH8 “A08″] && [string equal $PV131 ” “]} {

   set dispList

} else {

   set dispList

}

                   

if {[string equal $PV132 “B7E”]} {

   set dispList

} else {

   set dispList

}

puts “dispList: $dispList”

As Charlie L mentioned, whenever you use “else” it must appear on the same line with the braces on either side:  “} else {“. Otherwise the “if” statement will not be associated with the “else”.
