Subject: [9fans] rc complaining about syntax error on {
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:28:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <490725B4-4F2D-42BA-B6D0-D634402E0429@mac.com> (raw)
Hello. I was writing a program called 12 which displays twelve-hour
time. It accepts the following options:
-g show time as part of date output
-u sent to date
date's -n option is rejected. The default behavior is to show only
the 12-hour time. Now when I run this feature-complete version, it
gives me an error saying that '}' on line 24(?) is a syntax error.
Huh? I added
flag x +
but apparently rc scans its whole input for errors before executing,
so it brings me no closer to a solution. The file is /n/sources/
contrib/pietro/12. What's going on?
