I need additional eyes for this error...

I've spent the better half of the day typing up a program for an Advanced Mining Turtle to clear out a 32x5x32 space for a Buildcraft Quarry, as to avoid the blocks in that initial area from being destroyed by the Quarry's setup, and automatically empty its inventory into a chest when its 16th slot has any items in it. When attempting to run the program (under the name Quarry32), the following message is returned:

"bios:339: [string "Quarry32"]:127:
' then' expected"

As for the code:

I am unable to find the error that is being returned to me upon trying to run the code. I would be grateful if someone else with more experience were to be able to spot it out.

Please note that this is my first ComputerCraft program ever, and thus is bound to be sloppy, dirty, and redundant (as well as including a y value that's dynamically kept track of, but is never actually used), however I don't require simplification, only fixes for errors.

Thank you in advance.

This error is covered under the Common Errors section of my favorite sticky post.

You've got an assignment operator in your if statement instead of a comparison operator.

*Sigh*

My bad. I read through your sticky before posting, but I suppose I wasn't quite wrapping my head around what you said. Though I do understand the terms conditional and assignment, of course. I apologize for wasting your time.

Hey, no worries! At least you read it. :)/>
