Scripts won't run

RouterOS Scripting

None of my scripts will execute, even the simple ones. When I click the Run Script button (or execute the command using the terminal) nothing happens. No error, no execution, nothing.

What is causing this?

DynamicIP Script

:log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: Begin"

:global dip-interface "I-Burst"

:global dip-ip [ /ip address get [/ip address find interface=$dip-interface] address ]

:if ([ :typeof $dip-lastip ] = nil ) do={ :global dip-lastip 0.0.0.0/0 }

:if ([ :typeof $dip-ip ] = nil ) do={

  :log info ("Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: No ip address present on " . $dip-interface . ", please check.")

} else={

  :if ($dip-ip != $dip-lastip) do={

    :log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: Attempting to Send Updated IP ". $dip-ip
    /tool e-mail send to="ip@internetguy.co.za" body=$dip-ip subject=([/system identity get name] . " New IP Address " . $dip-ip)
    :log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: Sending UPDATE!"
    :global dip-lastip $dip-ip

  } else={ 

    :log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: No change" 

  }

}

:log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: End"

Script2

I attempted to run the following one line command, again nothing happens when I execute a command or click the button, to run the script. There is also no log messages.

/tool e-mail send to="ip@internetguy.co.za" body=$dip-ip subject=([/system identity get name] . " New IP Address " . $dip-ip)

Strangely enough, I wrote a new script this morning to add a user and it runs.

/ tool user-manager user 
add subscriber=Justin name="Test" password="test" first-name="Justin" \
    last-name="Minnaar" phone="011 849 5336" location="Howick Gardens #56" \
    email="Test@Region.co.za" download-limit=100000000 \
    upload-limit=100000000 comment="Test account with 100k up and 100k down" disabled=no

Any advice would be appreciated.

:log info "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: Attempting to Send Updated IP ". $dip-ip

the above line is incorrect. Put ( ) around the text so it evaluates the statement.

Thank you for your help. I have resolved the problem by deleting the offending line. I could not get ( ) around the string . string to work correctly and figured I would probably have to create a local variable but it was not neccessary. Anyway, the script runs now successfully! Funny enough, other lines have ( ) for logging info and work fine.

correct code would be:

:log info ( "Dynamic IP Update Via Mail: Attempting to Send Updated IP " . $dip-ip )

and it works.

Has anyone yet made an attempt at writing a basic syntax compiler for MT Scripts?

Or is MT Scripts based on a scripting language that has a compiler. Even if it wont compile completely, but just check the syntax symbols?

Syntax “compiler” is already built in.
Write a script and if there are any syntax errors
/system script print will highlight them.

I think the request was for an external syntax checker with diagnostics. That would definitely be a very useful tool.

That would definitely be a very useful tool.

Yip. That would be great! Some form of a tool to guide you in the right direction when debugging. I sat once for 3 hours staring at a uncompilable script just to find a simple math error.

Has there been attempts at producing such a tool?
