Reply| Script error[Unexpected exception checking match strings] near line 236 |
Is there a restriction on how many Label's I can have in one script? It's the only thing that makes sense. I can't find an error otherwise.

Per the subject, I'm getting the following error when I run a new looting script I'm working on.

I have a Wizard FE script that has at least a thousand labels in it so... you would need to be using a lot of labels.
There is also a limit to the number of match strings you can have in a single matchwait statement (around 25 I think) which seems like a potentially likely issue in a looting script and also consistent with your error message. Might take a look for that if you don't have more than 1,000 labels in your script.

That is most likely the problem. I have my GEM: Label which has 104 MATCH and MATCHRE's after it. Line 238 is the empty line immediately after my MATCHWAIT after that large label (assuming it's counting empty lines). I'm a bit confused though as to why it wouldn't work. I distinctly remember having a large GEM: label when I played years ago.

Found the error. Posting here in case it helps anyone. This line was the culprit, see if you can find the error.
MATCHRE QUARTZ /(blue|carnelian|cat's eye|citrine|rose|rainbow|tangerine|asterfire|dragonfire|dragon's-fang|leopard|oblivion| quartz/i
It was truly baffling me but my eye just happened to notice it accidentally. You can imagine it was hard to pick out when there are about 100 other lines of text surrounding it.
P.S. Thank you Doug and Robert for the assistance.

| Yep, good catch. I looked right past it, too. |
| Glad you got it cooking, looks like a useful script. |

It's on its way to be. I'm working on the section now for all of the Creature Skins, and then lastly the uncommon loot that is valuable like blue and black crystals, statues, etc...
I know I could use Lich, but part of the fun for me is building scripts from scratch. My early experiences in scripting helped me with learning VBA in Excel which has definitely come in handy.
