Backtick not working on Windows #138

Closed nueropath closed 1 year ago

nueropath commented 2 years ago

Running the following command in ucbLogo 6.2.2 on windows,

print first (cascade 4 "bf [The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill])

I get:

I don't know how  to `  in cascade
[if numberp :cascade.limit [if lessp :cascade.limit 0 [(throw "error (se [cascade doesn't like] :cascade.limit [as input] ))] make "cascade.limit ` [greaterp :template.number , [int :cascade.limit]]]]

while the expected output from CSLS is:

Bungalow

It seems this bug had occured before on MacOS #117.

Interesting... I can replicate the behavior you are seeing with 6.2.2 on Windows. If I install 6.2 on Windows, it works as expected. The fix for the issue on MacOS shouldn't have impacted any other platforms' builds, so I'm going to need to do a little digging into what caused the regression.

If you would like a workaround for 6.2.2 on Windows:

  1. Go to the install folder (by default, this would be C:\Program Files (x86)\UCBLogo).
  2. Open the LOGOLIB folder.
  3. Rename the file RENAME-GRAVE-ACCENT to a literal backtick `
  4. Rename the file RENAME-NUMBER-SIGN to a literal number sign #

2. Open the `LOGOLIB` folder.

3. Rename the file `RENAME-GRAVE-ACCENT` to a literal backtick `` ` ``

4. Rename the file `RENAME-NUMBER-SIGN` to a literal number sign `#`

much appericated for the workaround. It now works as expected.
