Code: Select alllet test = 0
button "test" [do_something]
print "test"
print test
wait

[do_something]
end

the button should use the string "test" but it uses the value of the var test.
it also prints 2 times 0 to the terminal.
It seems the quotes are ignored by the interpreter.

- Thu Jan 14, 2016 2:33 pm #38787 Hi, I've seen this before, I think you need to double double quote.

Code: Select allbutton ""test"" [do_something]

The outer quotes stop the inner quotes functioning as quotes, if that makes any sense.

- Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:24 pm #38987 Mike, could you explain this a bit more? Should we use the @ for all variables, string, numbers, etc. or just numbers? What does this actually do in this case?
