Nested IFs and Operators

Xtra

I noticed that I couldn't use a nested IF in OB
For example
IF "<SOURCE>" Contains "1"
IF "<SOURCE>" Contains "2"
SET STATUS SUCCESS
ENDIF
ENDIF

So I tried using AND operator see if it works (I tried & and &&)
IF "<SOURCE>" Contains "1" && "<SOURCE>" Contains "2"
SET STATUS SUCCESS
ENDIF

But that did not work either. Is there a way to do either of these yet?

Hey, LoliScript is a very simple language that I made to expand the capabilities of OB (blocks are executed sequentially, with LS you can use IF/ELSE and WHILE). In order to write a fully fledged language I would've needed to make parsing trees for the custom language etc. which is a lot of work.

I will explain what the parser does when it encounters an IF or an ELSE:

IF:

true: keep reading
false: jump to the first instruction after the first ELSE or ENDIF you find (so those instructions are not executed, but the ones after them are executed)

ELSE:

always jump to the first instruction after the first ENDIF you find

To achieve IF (this && that) you can simply write

IF condition1
IF condition2
...
ENDIF

If any of those 2 IFs fail, it will jump to the ENDIF, so it will only execute them in case both are true.

If you want to achieve IF (this || that) you can use the JUMP statement and 2 labels.

IF condition1
JUMP #OK
ENDIF

IF condition2
JUMP #OK
ENDIF

JUMP #PAST

#OK
here type the instructions you wanna execute if any of the conditions is true

#PAST
this will be executed if both conditions are false or if the part above has finished

I hope you understand.

If people really want to be able to use && and || I will try to expand the parser to make it work with a linear set of conditions (no brackets).

The simplest way would be for you to use IronPython.
Instead of using LoliScript to do the checking, use Python.

Ironpython adds unnecessary overhead though. It would be best to use loliscript as it's faster.
