What's causing this error?

v:\> setdos /x-456789

v:\> echo %@crc32[s,!!!%"]
TCC: Syntax error "@crc32[s,!!!%"]"

That unbalanced double quote is bound to confuse the parser.

That unbalanced double quote is bound to confuse the parser.

Isn't that what SETDOS /X-7 is all about?

 

[Charles Dye]

Even very simple functions like @CAPS or @LEN or @ASCII fail with unbalanced quotes. I'm guessing here, but I suspect the parser must look for an unquoted close bracket to find the end of the function's args -- regardless of SETDOS.

The variable function parser doesn't like unbalanced quotes (even with SETDOS /X-7). I could change that, but it would break the regular expression functions.
