For loop syntax. 27 Sep 2019 13:42 #10888

Just having a quick initial look at the 2.07 public release and VFP syntax therein.

It seems to not like for\endfor, which is legal VFP, and insists on for\next. Is that by design ?

Alan,

Did you set the dialect to FoxPro ?
If you did then it should automatically include the file "FoxProCmd.xh" which translates ENDFOR to NEXT

I chose 'FoxPro Console Application' when creating the project.

I've added the .xh file in manually, verified that the dialect 's 'FoxPro', still doesn't like it.
Also set the dialect to Core, rebuilt, then back to FoxPro to see if something would kick in, but no.

Added manually, do you mean you added at the top of your start.prg file?

#include "c:\Program Files (x86)\xsharp\include\FoxProCmd.xh"

Hi Alan,

Using VS 2017 Community I did and modified as follows:

Using System
Using System.Collections.Generic
Using System.Linq
Using System.Text

Function Start() As Void Strict
	Local i
	For i = 1 To 10
		? "Hello World! Today is ",ToDay()
		WAIT
	endfor
Return

Ran fine this side first time.
Also tested with VS 2019 Community and ran fine first time.

OK here's what I have, VS 2019 Community:

#include "c:\program files (x86)\xsharp\include\foxprocmd.xh"
using system
using system.collections.generic
using system.linq
using system.text


function start() as void strict
    
    ? "hello world! today is ",today()
	
    local x as int
	
    for x = 1 to 100
		    ? x
    next
    
    wait

return

If I replace 'next' with 'endfor' it's a problem.

I started a new "FoxPro Console Application" from X# templates in VS2019, and EndFor is working fine for me. Compiles and runs no problem.

VS 2019 Ver 16.3.1, /Net Framework 4.7.2, X# 2.07

Using System
Using System.Collections.Generic
Using System.Linq
Using System.Text

Function Start() As Void Strict
    
    ? "hello world! today is ",today()
	
    Local x As Int
	
    For x = 1 To 100
	? x
    EndFor
    
    Wait

Return

BTW, in X# you can use either:

EndFor

End For

(notice space between the words.

I created a new FoxPro console application and pasted Matt's code in, still doesn't like 'endfor'.

Seems happy with 'end for' though, but that's not valid VFP syntax

Do you mean that the editor does not highlite it (which is indeed a known problem), or does the compiler not accept it either when building? Tested it here and seems to work ok.

It doesn't highlight it, and it throws a compiler error XS1003, Syntax Error, 'NEXT' expected.

Guys,

Didn´t notice it before, but this code - with the dialect setting <VO> or <Foxpro> - compiles and runs. To see what´s going on i compiled the source with the -ppo+ -showincludes+ -nostddefs+ settings - and the ppo file content still shows "END FOR". I´ve looked at the X# Help but i didn´t find any hint that "END FOR" is a legal statement - but it is

BTW. I´m pretty sure that Alan didn´t select in VS the <Foxpro> dialect, so a not preproccessed "ENDFOR" throws the XS1003, Syntax Error, 'NEXT'

FUNCTION Start( ) AS VOID
LOCAL i  AS INT 


	FOR i := 1 TO 3 
		
		? i 
		
	END FOR  // <----

	
	
	FOREACH VAR c IN  { "one" , "two" , "three" }
		
		? c 
		
	END FOR  // <---
			
	
RETURN

regards

"BTW. I´m pretty sure that Alan didn´t select in VS the <Foxpro> dialect,"

I ran the Visual Studio wizard to create a Foxpro Console Application, which sets the dialect automatically.

'End For' might be valid in other dialects, but it's not valid Visual Foxpro.

Alan,
VS17 community on W8.1/64 German, 2.07 FoxVersion.
New project / FoxPro Console app
modified to
USING System
USING System.Collections.Generic
USING System.Linq
USING System.Text

FUNCTION Start() AS VOID STRICT
? "Hello World! Today is ",ToDay()
LOCAL x AS INT

FOR x = 1 TO 100
? x
// NEXT
// endfor
END FOR
WAIT
RETURN

CTRL-F5 compiles and runs in all three "closing" versions.

Regards
Karl (X# 2.15.0.3; Xide 2.15; W8.1/64 German)

Run the Wizard? I assume you mean File/New/Project, Select Foxpro Console Application and Next button to create?
