Simple Code:Syntax Error

Here's is the code.It's for a automatic XP Farm
he said "bios:338 [string "startup"] :8: Syntax error

i don't understand this because at line 8 i've got an end..

x = peripheral.wrap("right")
while true do
turtle.attack()
x.collect()
turtle.drop()
if rs.getInput("bottom")==true
then (shell.run("xpt"))
end
end

P.S. Using Misc Peripherals !

Your if statement is messed up:

if rs.getInput("bottom") then
 shell.run("xpt")
end

While the if statement doesn't follow convention or how you and I would write it, it isn't actually incorrect. the problem is that the OP has surrounded shell.run("xpt") in brackets, if you remove those brackets it will work perfectly fine.

Are multiline if statements allowed? O_o

yes indeed. this is syntactically correct

if this and
   that and
   (not thisThing or
   isDevEnv) then
   print("We have met these conditions!")
end
