WriteLn does not conform to spec

WriteLn should support varargs and types other than strings. This would be a significant quality-of-life increase.

program TestWriteLn;
  var x: Integer;
begin
  x := 0;
  writeln('x', x);
end.

program TestWriteLn;
  var x: Integer;
begin
  x := 0;
  writeln(IntToStr(x));
end.

That what you want?

No thanks. Make a WriteLnEx would be useful for those features. ToStr should handle most stuff.

The way I posted is the way that Pascal's WriteLn is supposed to function…

Too bad the current crap interpreter doesn't support this. Maybe lape could do this?

Yes, but there is no reason to change it without it breaking the old functionality, no?

There is a reason to change it - it makes debugging more painful than it needs to be. Also, the new functionality is a superset of the old, so there would be no impact on current scripts. Also, it would make code much more readable in certain instances.

Wizzup?

PascalScript doesn't support this, as far as I know.

WriteLn(['x', x]);

?

E:

for x := 0 to 100 do
  WriteLn(['x', x]);

You can use Format. :)

It's not a bug, it's just not supported. Pascal Script does not support it, but it would sure be very useful. Lape does support it.

I just put it, in array's when I'm debugging, kindatricky yes. Pascalscript does not support variable parameters :(.
