Mirror Computer/Monitor bios error.

having issues with this bit of code. its supposed to mirror what you're doing on your computer to a monitor. i'm using advanced an advanced computer and monitors. the error is:

bios:338: [string "startup"]15: <name> or '…' expected

any help would be great. i found this piece from a post over a year ago so hopefully i can get some answers. Here's the code:

local nativeTerm = term.native or term
local function invoke(sMethod, ...)
nativeTerm[sMethod](...)
for k,sSide in pairs(redstone.getSides()) do
  if peripheral.isPresent(sSide) and peripheral.getType(sSide) == "monitor" then
   peripheral.call(sSide, sMethod, ...)
  end
end
end
term.write = function(text) invoke("write", text) end
term.scroll = function(n) invoke("scroll", n) end
term.setCursorPos = function(x, y) invoke("setCursorPos", x, y) end
term.setCursorBlink = function(:o/>/>/>/> invoke("setCursorBlink", :o/>/>/>/> end
term.clear = function() invoke("clear") end
term.clearLine = function() invoke("clearLine") end
nativeTerm.clear()
nativeTerm.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print(os.version())

The code box broke the code itself - Upload startup to pastebin, please.

uploaded to pastebin as requested. but i don't understand, what broke the code and why does pastebin fix this?

It's still broken. Look at the "/>"'s

What's with this?

LBPHacker thought it was a forum glitch, that's why he asked you to upload it to somewhere that's not the forum to make sure - but it's actually part of your code. What's it supposed to be?

Maybe he just copied the code from the thread and pasted in pastebin?

It happens because when posting, it tries to make it into an emoticon but it doesn't because it's in the code tags. Same with B)/>

Get a better BBCODE interpreter, then. @forum admins
