string handling

[ckb]

I am working on a script that involves some string parsing, but I have having trouble.  I started with a very simple script, but I can not get it to run (in ver10.8 )

void main()
{
   if contains_text( "random string of nothing", "dots" ) { print("We have dots");}
   else { print("Nothing found"); }
}

I get an error of:

Expected (, found contains_text (stst.ash, line 4)

What is going wrong here?

If statements need the argument you're testing to appear inside parentheses. Like this:

void main()
{
   if(contains_text( "random string of nothing", "dots" )) 
   {
      print("We have dots");
   } 
   else
   {
      print("Nothing found");
   }
}

Hope this helps!
