The command below worked perfectly prior to version 10.36.02 but now it has the error listed below.
I believe your fix that Disallowed linefeeds (`n) and other invisible characters in variable names
somehow thinks it is part of the name.

If (A_LoopField=`n OR A_LoopField=`r`n)


ERROR MESSAGE
---------------------------
AutoILMQuoteSheet.ahk
---------------------------
Error at line 6495.

Line Text:

Error: This variable or function name contains an illegal character.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
--------------------------

Any help would be appreciated

hi , your if statement is an expression, so all name in the () are vars, except the text in "".

So:
If (A_LoopField=`n OR A_LoopField=`r`n)

AHK thinks `n and `r`n are vars

You should Do
If (A_LoopField="`n" OR A_LoopField="`r`n")

*Not tested*

Although it didn't yield a syntax error in the previous version, the fact that it worked at all was unintentional. As Toralf pointed out, each literal string in an expression should be enclosed in quotes.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just for verification...if the value is a number it can be used WITHOUT quotes??

IF (X=1 or Y=1)

Is this correct?

Thanks

yep, numbers are the only exeption.

Actually, in that special case it would be enough to write

IF (X or Y)

If it would be ok if x or y are greater or equal then 1.
