Logan,

The first thing that springs to mind is the profusion of line breaks within
your list, are they perhaps an issue?

Subject: [jawsscripts] Unexpected DlgSelectItemInList error

Hi,

I'm creating a long list of items using the DlgSelectItemInList function.
When I type in list items one by one as a test the script compiles but when
I copy and paste the long list of items I want I get an error when compiling
that states "Unexpected word DlgSelectItemInList".

Is there some potential issue with copying a list from an external word/text
file and then pasting it into the script manager?

the pasted list is copied below for your interest & comments:

I used a test list code of:
DlgSelectItemInList ("Item1|Item2|Item3", "Select Action To Perform: ",1,1)
and the script compiled; however when I then replaced the list items with my
wanted list above I get the unexpected word error.
 


Thoughts and suggestions please?

Regards,

Logan.
