thank but i put the ")" thereYes and in this case its fine, you have 5 lines of code, but when there is more lines the exact message that displays helps.i got unexpected symbol errorYes I understand that. but this is what it should beand i need 2 off those ..a.. and ..b.. things in one line.. tells Lua to add whats on the right side to the left, when you haveprint( " "..a.." | "..b )it doesn't know what to concatenate AFTER b because you haven't told it, you have an unfinished string, so it tells you that there was an unexpected symbol, i.e. the " at the end." | "..b.."

That's still not going to fix the problem. It will fix half the problem. Lua is still not going to like the .." at the end, it is not correct to have an opening " without closing it. So you either need to remove the .." or make it .."" if you REALLY want to keep it in there.thank but i put the ")" there

or just read what I suggested to him and find I told him that exact answer 3 times and he thinks he knows better and that isn't the problem… also mibac138 and remiX you would cause him another issue with using B instead of b.-snip-
