I did on mouseUp put "Abc" & 45 & "123(def)" into tTest put value (tTest) end mouseUp
tTest results in Abc45123(def) so you are trying to get the value of the result of a function called Abc45123() where you pass a value in a variable called def. At run time, do you have a function Abc45123()? Is there a variable def? If the answer is no to either of these, well there's your problem! :-) Bob S > On Oct 24, 2015, at 17:46 , Dr. Hawkins <doch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am finding that parentheses within strings break value() > > put value ("Abc" & 45 & "123(def)") _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
