LockSmith Program "unfinished string"

I made A lock file and when I start it up it says unfinished string. The Code is

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
print (" Welcome to LockSmith v1.1 Alpha please enter passcode ")


write("")
x = io.read()

if x == "110011" then

redstone.setOutput ("back". true )

print ("Passcode Accepted…")

sleep(4)
redstone.setOutput ("back", false )
else
term.clear
print ("Passcode Denied…")
sleep(4)

end
os.shutdown()

put a space in the write function

so itll be

write(" ")

Thats the only thing I can think of


EDIT: Also, I dont think you can have a space in between the print function and its string, so it cant be

print ("blabla")

but it has to be

print("Blabla")

this also goes for the redstone.setOutput()

White space doesn't matter in most high level languages. The compilers are normally smart enough to ignore white space (with a few areas of syntax where there must be none)

Alright then, I'm only learning as well :)/>


On topic:
I just noticed in the first redstone.setOutput(), theres a dot instead of a komma, I'm pretty sure it has to be a , instead of . :)/>

Hey that's fine, we were all at that stage at one point, we all had to learn.

Ahh good pickup, missed that one was looking at all the strings, sometimes hate error messages, especially when we don't get the full error ;)/>

EDIT: Also for OP try to use code tags to make it look better for us to read and help, they are this ['code]['/code] without the ' of course. Also the full error message that you are given DOES help. And lastly long code is handy in pastebin, especially when the error is say at line 40 or 60 or I've even seen one at 250. Easier to find that line in pastebin :)/>

Ok thanks the tutorial I wacthed siad to put spaces

Ok now it says bois:206: [string "LockSmith"] :18: '=' expected

Please post your current code, and put it in the

 tags :)/>

Ok just one sec

Any Ideas?

Try changing the first

redstone.setOutput("back". true )

into

redstone.setOutput("back", true)

and finish term.clear into term.clear()

That doesnt matter at all The problem is that you did term.clear and not term.clear()

If i helped it all. Press DAT littel' green fellah' :o/>

It does indeed. :)/> Although the problem is that you did term.clear and not term.clear() towards the end.

For future reference. Put your code in the code tag. Like this:

FUS RO DAHHHH

Thanks it now works
