%x$ in function

[x13]

Hi all.

I'm fiddling with parameter expansion and I can't get this to work.
Could this be a (known) bug?

FUNCTION x=`par1=%1, par2=%2, rest=%3$`

However the %3$ doesn't work.

ECHO %@x[one two three four five six seven]
par1=one, par2=two, rest=three$

ECHO %@x[one,two,three,four,five,six,seven]
par1=one, par2=two, rest=three$

So why is this being ignored? I tried %3-$ also (since %-n$ is permitted), but that didn't work either.

According to the help :

The parameter %n$ has a special meaning. TCC interprets it to mean "all arguments, from parameter n
to the end." If n is not specified, it has a default value of 1, so %$ means "all arguments passed to the
function."​

This isn't mission critical, I'm just curious as to why it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Works for me. What does SETDOS report as your parameters character?

Works for me too. Charles is right -- the only thing that should break that is if you've redefined ParamChr in TCMD.INI.

That was it ! I couldn't figure out why it did this...

Silly me. I made a typo in my TCSTART that screwed-up ParamChar in the SETDOS line.

Thanks!
