Hello everyone,
In the fine tradition of *trying* to get things done quick, I have a
code segment that looks like :
if {some condition} then begin
.
.
{some random text to make the code break}
endif else begin
.
.
endelse
The code breaks at the random text, I check for the variables and
conditions that were set in the "if part", and if all is well, I issue
a .skip and a .continue. Now, it turns out that under such conditions
(if the random text is located right before the endif statement), the
code execution actually proceeds through the else-endelse segment as
well. However, if there is any other statement between the random text
and the endif statement, then the code execution does not go into the
else-endelse segment.
Granted this is quite an unique situation to find oneself in, but
having spent the better part of a day trying to track this down, I
thought I would check with the group and see if this was a
reproducible behaviour.
Is my understanding of .skip incorrect ? Does it skip through more
than 1 line even when invoked without an additional parameter ?
In any case, it boggles my mind seeing code go through both the "if"
and "else" part in one execution !
Cheers,
Manodeep
