I have the following scheme script:

(do ((x 1 (- x 0.2))) ((< x -2))
(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "display/objects/edit velocity-contour surfaces-list (z=~a) ()" x))
(format #f "/display/objects/display velocity-contour")
(set! x (* x 1000))
(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "/display/save-picture ./pictures/velocity-contour-z=~a" x))
(set! x (/ x 1000))
)

which breaks because after (z=~a) the () doesn't do anything. It continues thinking I'm entering a surface name, so the rest of the commands are entered as the string. I have spammed () everywhere, tried q, nothing works. Wtf is going on?

The error is saying z=0 isn't a valid surface, not that () doesn't work in scheme

It is a valid surface though. I fixed the issue by adding \n after the empty list, not really sure why it works.

So you have proved that the error was not () not working in scheme, great!


You are using a formatted string, and if you look, you actually printed what you interpreted as two scheme commands as one line

Could you please explain this a little? In my script the commands are in separate brackets and with a new line between them, but like you said it's as if the tui doesn't recognise that, which I don't fully understand
