Dear Allin,
I think the problem with wildcards is not completely solved. Please take a look at the
following script (you can find the used dataset attached):
<hansl>
open "Dados.gdt" --quiet
loop for i=1..12 --quiet
store "@dotdir\Projeções ($i passo).gdt" ibcbr proj_*_$i
endloop
loop for i=1..12 --quiet
store "@dotdir\Projeções ($i passo).gdt" *_$i
endloop
</hansl>
This commands work just fine, but that one don't:
<hansl>
loop for i=1..12 --quiet
store "@dotdir\Projeções ($i passo).gdt" ibcbr *_$i
endloop
</hansl>
Thanks, Henrique. I see the problem, but if I'm not mistaken this is
not connected with the new command parser; I think it has always
been there. The minimal version of the error is
<hansl>
open dados.gdt
list L = const *_1
</hansl>
That is, you try to form a list starting with a series (or a named
list), followed by a wildcard expression that starts with '*'. The
second term is not recognized as adding to the list. I'll have a go
at fixing this tomorrow.
