TCC v32: Parsing IF %@exec[command | command] == 0 ...?

[vefatica]

This works in TCC v31.

v:\> if %@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0 echo yes
foo
yes

in TCC v32 I get this.

v:\> if %@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0 echo yes
FINDSTR: Cannot open ==
FINDSTR: Cannot open 0
FINDSTR: Cannot open echo
FINDSTR: Cannot open yes
TCC: Syntax error "@exec[echo"
Usage : IF [/I] [NOT] condition [.AND. | .OR. | .XOR. [NOT] condition ...] command

What's up with that?

I got the same results as you in

TCC 32.10.21 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.4291]

However, if I use TCC-RT;

E:\Utils>tccrt ver

TCC-RT  32.10.21 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.4291]

E:\Utils>tccrt if %@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0 echo yes
foo
yes

E:\Utils>which tccrt 
tccrt is an alias : "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCC_RT_%_vermajor\tcc.exe" /Q /C %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

If I start TCC.EXE with the switches /Q /C;

E:\Utils>tcc.exe /q /c ver

TCC  32.10.21 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.4291]

E:\Utils>tcc.exe /q /c if %@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0 echo yes
foo
yes

E:\Utils>which tcc.exe
tcc.exe is an external : C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD32\tcc.exe

I was not able to reproduce your results. I initially tried putting the exec command inside parentheses to see if that made a difference. When it worked I tried without parens and it still worked.

$ if %@exec[(echo foo | findstr foo)] == 0 echo yes
foo
yes

[R:\sd-wire-cli]
$ if %@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0 echo yes
foo
yes

[R:\sd-wire-cli]
$ ver /r

Interesting! I don't know what it all means but it will probably help Rex.

This works;

E:\Utils>echo %@if[%@exec[echo foo | findstr foo] == 0,yes,no]
foo
yes

E:\Utils>ver

Unrelated question: why "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" instead of a straightforward "%*" ?
