[Scilab-users] Weird things with the continuation dots

[Dang Ngoc Chan, Christophe]

Hello,

When I used a script written for 5.4 with 6.0,

I noticed some weird things with the continuation mark "..".
E.g. in 5.4,

"abc...
def"

was OK, it now gives an error ; I have to fix it with
"abc"+...
"def"


Additionally, there should be a space after a * or a / ; *this is not documented*.

This is quite logical as "/." is a different operator.
But "*." Is not an operator.
Only "-." Is documented.

E.g.

--> 5*..
syntax error , unexpected .

--> 5*...
  > 2
Opération indéfinie pour les opérandes données.

--> 5/...
  > 2
 ans  =

   0.4545455

I don't understand the result of this later case.

Everything is fine with a space, e.g. "5* .."

I didn't find anything on Bugzilla with "continuation mark" so should I fill in a form?
