rednet:87: error in coding

Hello! My name is OracleVM (VistaWiz on Minecraft) and it appears I'm having a bit of an issue. After following slightly off two programs, I am creating a "SEND" program, which allows you to send Rednet messages with ease, and as I try to start the program, I get the dreaded rednet:87:. Here is the code to my program: (Sorry if I don't know how to put the code in an organized box, I am new to the forms ;)/>)




local modemside = "right"
local receiverId, message = rednet.send()
——————————————————-
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("P2P CHAT 3.1")
pint("Type quit to stop")
while do true
wit("Enter ID: ")
id= io.read()
if id= "quit" then
break
else
write("Enter Messeage: ")
message = io.read()
if message = "quit" then
break
else
rednet.send(id, message)
end
end
end


Is there something missing, or is the code incorrect? Reply back ASAP. Thank you.

print("these are code tags.")
-- don't use spaces between the brackets
-- [ code]  
-- <your code here>
--  

You have several spelling errors.

this is your code below

Spoiler

local modemside = "right"
local receiverId, message = rednet.send()
-------------------------------------------------------
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("P2P CHAT 3.1")
pint("Type quit to stop") -- mispelled print
while do true -- it's supposed to be while true do'
  wit("Enter ID: ") -- what the heck is wit?
  id= io.read()
  if id= "quit" then -- you need == not =
	break
  else
	write("Enter Messeage: ")
	message = io.read()
  -- you are missing an end here.
  if message = "quit" then
	break
  else
	rednet.send(id, message)
  end -- this end should be above.
  end
end

Try to change those things and post your new code and any errors that come up.

the easier way to show code tags is like so

the way you showed how to do code tags was, well, confusing to say the least!
