[Jython-dev] if/ while question

[Brian L. (EEI) <Bri...@ee...>]

Hi, 
      I sent the following email to you on 2nd Febuary 2001. I have not
got an answer back.

regards/Brian
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm using Jython from a PC and Window NT. I do not run Jython from the command Shell I'm importing the following classes in order to run Jython scripts:

 PythonInterpreter;
 InteractiveInterpreter;
 InteractiveConsole

I'm reading in the Jython script, it is read line by line using the following:
:
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
                      taskText += (inputLine + "\n");
:

The Jython file is executed, line by line via the interpreter using the method runsource().

I'm experiencing a problem with IF and WHILE statements. The interpreter does not like the symbol "\n". Obviously there is other symbols to show that a jython line is associated with the IF statement. Also there is probably a symbol which indicates that if/while statement has ended.  Can you tell me the end of line symbols that are associated with IF/While statements.

Here are two scripts I ran with my Java program, the output is shown below. I also ran the following 2 scripts with Jython on the command shell and they worked ok: 
 
class example:
    x = int(1)
    y = int(1)
    while x < 5 :  
        x = x + 1
    print x

output = 2 but should be 5.
class example:
    x = int(1)
    y = int(2)
    if x == y :  
        print 'X and Y have the same value'
    else :
        print 'X and Y are different'

output = 	X and Y have the same value
		X and Y are different
Also the following syntax error is outputted.
Traceback (innermost last):
  (no code object) at line 0
  File "<input>", line 1
	    else :
	    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

thanks/Brian
