I tried to run my scrolling text program but i get and error, (string "startup" ) :12: 'then' expected

This is ts the code
    • local pos = 18
    • ecran = peripheral.wrap("right")
    • ecran.clear()
    • ecran.setBackgroundColor(2)
    • ecran.setTextColor(2048)
    • ecran.setTextScale(5)
    • while true do
    • if pos==-30
    • pos = 18
    • end
    • mon.clear()
    • mon.setCursorPos(pos,1)
    • mon.write("GG Inc. We Make The Best")
    • pos = pos-1
    • os.sleep(.15)
    • end

Well, you started off calling the monitor "ecran", then you swapped to calling it "mon", but you didn't rewrap it with a different name. Also, what Engineer said.

And please, next time, use the code tag. It makes things much nicer and compact.
