Remind error -


        I was just making an addition to an entry and all information
        for today disappeared. I retyped it and it looks ok but this
        error message keeps coming up whenever I do anything with
        remind. I'm viewing it with Tkremind, Fedora-15, 64 bit. But
        remind has performed faultlessly since installed what seems like
        several years ago.

                There was a problem running Remind:

                /mnt/srvr1/F10bkup/home/bobg/.reminders{1463): Undefined
                variable: ress

        Before I start messing with it I thought I might ask first if
        anyone knows what to do next? I would be lost without Remind.

        Thanks,

        Bob

Re: Remind error -

Is "ress" a typo or truncated variable name?

Maybe one of your lines in the remind file was broken into 2 lines and there is no "\" (continuation
character) at the end of the line.

        I thought your might be right since I had typed "press" but I
        don't see anything here?

        cat /mnt/srvr1/F10bkup/home/bobg/.reminders

        ...........   snip   ...................

What output do you get if you run this?

grep ress /mnt/srvr1/F10bkup/home/bobg/.reminders

You sure there's no "[ress" anywhere?  It's easy to type [ instead of p

        Yes, that is what I found when I grep'd the file as Bob Paver
        suggested. I saw a notice not to edit that file so I just made a
        copy before doing surgery but I know you are the remind
        authority so I will wait for your suggestion.

        I can type pretty fast using my own system but I do make
        errors!Usually I just go back and fix them but in this case it
        didn't fly ...
