Trouble with llDeleteSubList

The following code fragment won't compile

if (tag == "disallow"
{
item = llListFindList(user_list, [value]);
if (item > -1)
user_list = llDeleteSubList (user_list, item, item);
}

I get the message "ERROR : Syntax error:, with the cursor sitting just in front of the last mention of the variable "item" in the last line. The variables are all properly declared. Can anybody spot what I'm doing wrong here?

It compiles fine for me. Maybe the problem is elsewhere? I do notice you have a space between llDeleteSubList and the brackets following it. That should compile okay though.

If I would put down this code, I would do like this.

if (tag == "disallow")
                {
                    item = llListFindList(user_list, [value]);
                    if (item > -1) 
                    {
                        user_list = llDeleteSubList (user_list, item, item);
                    }
                }

I'm not sure if it needs or not.

The actual coded is formatted as you suggest. I don't know how to display it in a forum message that way.

I mean, I guess you need brackets after second if-statement though...

theoretically brackets aren't needed in if/else if only one command line is used. However, I almost always put them because I have come across compilers that will actually cause an error without them when it shouldn't. In most cases though, that shouldnt need brackets. I'm just posting on forums cause I'm bored btw =)

Hello cell,

I appreciate your beeing bored. You clarified it and I learned. Thank you.

It's possible if your logic is very complex that you have run out of memory in the compiler which will produce random placed errors.
