Unable to use '<' in procedure?

javadragon · June 14th, 2014, 06:05 AM

I was attempting to write a procedure utilizing the less than symbol for comparison. I kept getting this error when loading the data files:

File: MyTestFile.user (line 39) - Encountered unknown element tag '2)'

Here is the procedure it is complaining about (I simplified the longer procedure that was causing the error initially):

Code:

  <procedure id="testproc" scripttype="eval">
~ this is a test of using less than in the procedure block
if (1 < 2) then
  call SizeChange
endif
  </procedure>

It seems to see that as the start of a tag. If I make the check a greater then '>' it works just fine. Am I really not allowed to use '<' in procedures?

You need <![CDATA[ ]]> wrappers around the script itself:

Code:

<procedure id="testproc" scripttype="eval"><![CDATA[
  ~ this is a test of using less than in the procedure block
  if (1 < 2) then
    call SizeChange
    endif
  ]]></procedure>
