Piston Door Help!

Hi so I was writing a bit of code to allow a piston door to be opened and closed from the pc but I keep getting an error and wondered if somebody could help me find the error in the code

while true do -- start infinite loop
shell.run("clear")
print (" Panic Room Door control 0.2v")
print (" ----------------------------")
print (" [1] Open Door ")
print (" [2] Close Door ")
print (" [3] Exit ")
print (" [4] Shutdown Computer ")
input = read.io()
yes = "1"
no  = "2"
yo  = "3"
la  = "4"

if input == yes then
redstone.setOutput ("back", false)
redstone.setOutput ("down", false)
shell.run("startup") break -- break loop before continuing
end

if input == no then redstone.setOutput ("back", true)
redstone.setOutput ("down", true)
shell.run("startup")
break -- break the loop before proceeding
end

if input == yo then sleep(0) -- to avoid an error
if input == la then sleep(1)
os.shutdown()
end
end -- end the loop

io.read() not read.io(), though you could just use read() instead of io.read()

thank you

It says there is an error on line 31 where an = is expected but I can't seem to see where there would be one

Umm, unless that code is out of date, there is only 27 lines.

Alright. I would help, but this is a wall of text, and its tough to tell what line is what. Format it, and I'll check it.

Heres a formatted (and hopefully working, I only ran through it in my head) version of your code. People will be more willing to help if you use pastebin or hastebin, or if you're going to post it directly, USE CODE TAGS!! Read the forum rules for AaP. It clearly states to use your [code*] and [/code*] tags without the stars.

I am now recieving an error on line 32 where it expects an = sign

there is no line 32 in the code I provided or in the code you provided us

What is the code for line 32 in your code. just that line


Feel free to join the irc at esper.net in #computercraft and Talk to me about it

the line above it is

os.shutdown but there seems to be no errors

Can you message me on the IRC so i can understand what you mean

pm'ing you now

If you carefully read through that paragraph about the error, you would have realized that you forgot the parentheses:

os.shutdown()

… I didn't see that?

I was referring to Asaous' post.

That was just in his post. It was in the code I put though
