combining evaluators

I can do this:

Code (csharp):

1. if ("abc" in value){
2.   if (script.othervalue){
3.     doathing();
4.   }else{
5.     script.doanotherthing();
6.   }
7. }

but I can not do this:

Code (csharp):

1. if ("abc" in value  script.othervalue){
2.   doathing();
3. }else{
4.   script.doanotherthing();
5. }

and this doesn't work either:

Code (csharp):

1. if ("abc" in value  script.othervalue != 0){
2.   doathing();
3. }else{
4.   script.doanotherthing();
5. }

all of this is pseudocode btw, in case you think I'm compelty abstracting everything, lol.

this is all being evaluated inside of this context (in case it has any baring):

Code (csharp):

1. Switch (variable){
2.   case "value":
3.     /*stuff from above goes here*/
4.   break;
5.   ...
6. }

any reason this doesn't work?

error being returned is:

Code (csharp):

1. MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String.op_Member'.
2. Boo.Lang.Runtime.MethodDispatcherFactory.ProduceExtensionDispatcher ()
3. Boo.Lang.Runtime.MethodDispatcherFactory.Create ()

12.  

and I JavaScript, I do not boo.

 

lol

maybe the 'in' keyword is confusing the compiler

try a container lookup function like Contains() or IndexOf()

the 'in' keyword doesn't do a value lookup in containers in all languages, maybe thats the case for javascript

 

Thanks so much rozgo!
Guess I was looking for a flaw in my logic, but what you said makes sense.
I'll try that.

Thanks again!
