Question:
I wrote a paragraph like
$var = 120 |
to assign 120
to $var
, but when I used it like in
The variable was set to $var. |
$var
was not replaced by the value.
Answer:
Just remove the spaces around the "=":
$var=120 |
Discussion:
Because PerlPoint::Parser has to recognize PerlPoint controls amidst natural language it cannot handle whitespaces as programming language parsers do - whitespaces are real tokens. Not accepting them in an assignment simplifies the parsers paragraph type detection.
