Detail

'0 < $ t and $ t < 1000' causes a syntax error

The following IF{...}% causes an error: Syntax error in '0 < $ t and $ t < 1000' at ' < $ t and $ t < 1000'
%IF{"0 < $ t and $ t < 1000" then="true" else="false"}%
Result: false

%IF{"(0 < $ t) and ($ t < 1000)" then="true" else="false"}%
Result: false

'-1 > 0' is true

The following IF{...} is expanded to true though false is expected.
%IF{"-1 > 0" then="true" else="false"}%
Result: false

-- Peter Thoeny - 2013-06-20

Issue with first bug: The parser does not grok single letter variable names.

-- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 2013-06-20

  1. IF statement interprets "0" as "undef" instead of a numberic character. In result, all the comparison against "0" is actually comparing with "undef".
  2. One letter variable name triggers unexpected syntax error is a defect from regex.
