For loop syntax.

Just having a quick initial look at the 2.07 public release and VFP syntax therein.
It seems to not like forendfor, which is legal VFP, and insists on fornext. Is that by design ?

Alan,
Did you set the dialect to FoxPro ?
If you did then it should automatically include the file "FoxProCmd.xh" which translates ENDFOR to NEXT

I chose 'FoxPro Console Application' when creating the project.

I've added the .xh file in manually, verified that the dialect 's 'FoxPro', still doesn't like it.
Also set the dialect to Core, rebuilt, then back to FoxPro to see if something would kick in, but no.

Added manually, do you mean you added at the top of your start.prg file?
Code: Select all
#include "c:Program Files (x86)xsharpincludeFoxProCmd.xh"

Using VS 2017 Community I did and modified as follows:
Code: Select all
Using System
Using System.Collections.Generic
Using System.Linq
Using System.Text
Function Start() As Void Strict
Local i
For i = 1 To 10
? "Hello World! Today is ",ToDay()
WAIT
endfor
Return
Ran fine this side first time.
Also tested with VS 2019 Community and ran fine first time.

OK here's what I have, VS 2019 Community:
Code: Select all
#include "c:program files (x86)xsharpincludefoxprocmd.xh"
using system
using system.collections.generic
using system.linq
using system.text
function start() as void strict
? "hello world! today is ",today()
local x as int
for x = 1 to 100
? x
next
wait
return
If I replace 'next' with 'endfor' it's a problem.

I started a new "FoxPro Console Application" from X# templates in VS2019, and
EndFor is working fine for me. Compiles and runs no problem.
VS 2019 Ver 16.3.1, /Net Framework 4.7.2, X# 2.07
Code: Select all
Using System
Using System.Collections.Generic
Using System.Linq
Using System.Text
Function Start() As Void Strict
? "hello world! today is ",today()
Local x As Int
For x = 1 To 100
? x
EndFor
Wait
Return

I created a new FoxPro console application and pasted Matt's code in, still doesn't like 'endfor'.
Seems happy with 'end for' though, but that's not valid VFP syntax
