Re: [Ifeffit] formula checking

Hi Bruce, Peter, Ifeffit does print a warning message about a syntax error on using '//'. But it's completely believable and forgivable that Artemis doesn't catch this. Bruce, would it help if a flag was set indicating 'syntax error' in addition to printing the warning message? That way you could wrap each of the definitions with a perl function that did the ifeffit command and check for syntax errors, doing something sensible (popping up a warning dialog box, for example) on a syntax error. That might be better than checking for '//' itself, because it would detect other syntax errors as well. A flag meaning 'math error' (as on divide-by-zero or sqrt(-1)) might be useful too, I suppose.... --Matt
