How to fix Syntax Error: Expected end of line, etc. but found end of script. in applescript?

I am making an applescript for my modding tool for Minecraft. It used to use multiple apps and I am now trying to make one app for all the tasks.
Here is the code:
say "You are running iCraft version one point one for minecraft version 1.2.5"
display dialog "Which tool do you want to use?" buttons {"Mod Installer", "Backup", "Restore"} default button 3
set the button_pressed to the button returned of the result
if the button_pressed is "Mod Installer" then
do shell script "~/desktop/iCraft/iCraft.app/contents/re…
display dialog "Insert all mod files into the Mods folder."
display dialog "Have you inserted all Mod files into the Mods folder?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
if the button_pressed is "Yes" then
do shell script "~/desktop/iCraft/iCraft.app/contents/re…
display dialog "Finished"
else
display dialog "Insert mod files into the Mods folder and restart iCraft.app."
end if
if the button_pressed is "Backup" then
display dialog "Are you sure you want to backup your Minecraft.jar in it's current state?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
if the button_pressed is "Yes" then
do shell script "~/desktop/iCraft/iCraft.app/contents/re…
display dialog "Finished, find it in your Backups directory in the iCraft folder"
else
display dialog "Backup aborted"
end if
if the button_pressed is "Restore" then
display dialog "Are you sure you want to restore your Minecraft.jar with your backup?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
if the button_pressed is "Yes" then
do shell script "~/desktop/iCraft/iCraft.app/resources/s…
else
display dialog "Restore aborted"
end if
end
When I try to compile/run it gives me Syntax Error: Expected end of line, etc. but found end of script.

Your script got mangled when pasting it into your message, but the main problem looks like you are missing a bunch of end if statements. Unless your if statements are contained on one line, you need to terminate them with a matching end if statement - for example, the following are equivalent:
if someString is "whatever" then display dialog "foo"
if someString is "whatever" then
display dialog "foo"
end if

You need to complete compound if statements with an end if - see the AppleScript Language Guide for a description of the various kinds of if statements.
Although I don't think it is going to do what you expect, your script would look something like:

font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;

Applescript compile fails with "Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier"

Hi,
I've written my first applescript to move messages in Micorosoft Outlook to a specific folder. It is based on existing scripts I found on the internet. However my version keeps failing to compile with the error "Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier". I tried the exact same script on another Mac and it works. I created a very simple version of the script to show the error. All I am trying to do is get the current selected messages so I can move them:
on run {}
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
        set selectedMessages to current messages
    end tell
end run
and I still get the same errors on the word "messages" above.
MAC is running OSX 10.9.4
Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 - version 14.4.3 (140616)
Since the script works on other computers the only thing I can assume is something wrong with the setup.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
- Ben

Any reason that the parens would be needed on some cases and not in others? As you can see the code the OP posted compiled fine on my system with no need of the parens. Also the OP mentioned that the code did work on one machine but not another so I would assume again the parens were not needed in that case.
JUst curious
regards
Parentheses have the same function here as they do in mathematical equations. They are cues to the compiler about the order in which different parts of the statement should be processed. The problem here, I think, is that the word current is part of a lot of applescript nouns: current date, current application, current messages, current user, current track, current location, etc. That's exacerbated by the fact that message is also a noun in its own right in Outlook, creating an ambiguous bit of grammar. Applescript has to interpret the presence of that word in context, and several factors - different versions of the OS or of the relevant applications, the presence of different osaxen, runtime issues that alter how the Applescript system reads in the scriptability information - could affect how that interpretation plays out.
Context is (apparently) everything, sometimes.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this error I am receiving: LabView: File not found. VI "Mobile Display.vi" was stopped at unknown " " at a call to "Mobile Display.vi"?

Can someone help me please? I am receiving this error everytime I attempt to execute my application:
LabView: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formated for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

We cannot help without additional information:
Are you running your code
...in the development system?
...as a standalone application?
...deployed to an embedded target?
If it is a built application, do you explicitly include dynamically called VIs in the build specification?
Who wrote the program? Do you have access to the code?
How is this VI called? Is there sufficient error handling?
Do you manipulate paths as strings or as proper path datatypes with the strip path/build path primitives etc.?
Is it running on the same OS used to develop it ...

AppleScript - Syntax Error: Expected end of line found """.

The following AppleScript code works on Tiger and Snow Leopard but not on Leopard (10.5 > 10.5.8).
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
tell database "SomeDB.fp5"
-- some code to execute
end tell
end tell
In Leopard, the code won't compile and is complaining of a Syntax Error: Expected end of line found """. I click OK and then the quote symbol ( " ) to the left of SomeDB.fp5 is highlighted.
Has anyone else experienced this and have resolved this in Leopard?
Thanks

If you copy/pasted the script from somewhere, the line endings in the source may not be translating. Try replacing the line endings (the return) on the lines around the one that is being highlighted.

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.

So I'm doing this basic coding thing to make an object "shoot" bullets. It's from a tutorial video. My code matches his exactly unless I'm missing a tiny detail. Basically the code looks like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class bullet extends Sprite {
private var sw:Number;
private var sh:Number;
private const _SPEED:int=-10;
private const _OFFSTAGE:int=-10;
public function bullet():void {
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,onadd);
private function onadd(e:Event):void {
sw=stage.stageWidth;
sh=stage.stageHeight;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
private function loop(e:Event):void {
if (y<_OFFSTAGE) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
parent.removeChild(this);
y-=_SPEED;
}public function removeListeners():void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
And the compiler error I'm getting says this:
Location:bullet.as line 31 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program. Source: }
Location:bullet.as line 31 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program. Source: }
And yes it does say it twice. What's going on?
The vid I'm learning from is this: http://autocad.spinelink.com/adobe-flash-cs4-game-tutorial-shooting.html

You are missing two closing curly braces at the bottom of the package declaration. You need to close the package itself and the class declaration inside.
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class bullet extends Sprite {
          private var sw:Number;
          private var sh:Number;
          private const _SPEED:int=-10;
          private const _OFFSTAGE:int=-10;
          public function bullet():void {
               addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,onadd);
          private function onadd(e:Event):void {
               sw=stage.stageWidth;
               sh=stage.stageHeight;
               addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
          private function loop(e:Event):void {

                    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
                    parent.removeChild(this);
               y-=_SPEED;

Workaround for "Expected expression but found end of line" error

make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:var1}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:var2} at after last paragraph
end tell

send newmessage
end repeat
end tell
I would like to be able to paste the MailList and MailAttatchmentList values from a spreadsheet so that it would look something like this:

set myattachmentList to {

set i to i + 1
set var1 to item i of mymailList
set var2 to item i of myattachmentList as alias
set newmessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Report", content:"Blah Blah Blah"}
tell newmessage
set sender to "Sam <[email protected]>"
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:var1}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:var2} at after last paragraph
end tell
activate
send newmessage
end repeat
end tell
Is there something that I can put at the end of each value so that I avoid the "Expected expression but found end of line" error?
Thanks!
Sam

You didn't need to post the entire script - just an example of the list format would have done
Anyway, AppleScript uses option-return as a 'soft' return/line continuation character, so:
set mymailList to {¬
"[email protected]",¬
"[email protected]",¬
"[email protected]"¬
(where ¬ indicates an option-return) will work. I'm just not sure off hand how you'd automatically insert option-return characters coming out of Excel...

1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before rightparen. ?

Hi there i'm currently working on my year 13 ICT coursework using Adobe flash CS5.5 and while correcting an error while implementing a third party found image gallery another one appeared, which I am completely unable to fix.
At the moment I would like the image gallery to be implemented in Scene 3 of my product, but it seems when opening to view the product it just spams through all the scenes and I am confused on why this is the case?
If anyone can help with this then it would be much appreciated.
Here is the code line which has the Syntax error, if any other thing are needed please just ask.
lastBildeHL.onLoadProgress = gotoAndPlay("Scene 1")); numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):void
Thanks

Hi there just added that line and when doing so I then got these errors:
Scene 3, Layer 'actions', Frame 5, Line 131
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon.
Scene 3, Layer 'actions', Frame 5, Line 131
1078: Label must be a simple identifier.
Scene 3, Layer 'actions', Frame 5, Line 132
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before var.
Scene 3, Layer 'actions', Frame 5, Line 132
1078: Label must be a simple identifier.
Here are the actions:
lastBildeHL.onLoadProgress = gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):void
var numPercentLoaded:Number = numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal * 100;
Any help would be good
Thanks,
