Errors in the wrong line

[Darien]

When an error occurs in a compiled script, the line number where the error occurred does not match. I noticed that blank lines and lines with only comments are ignored. in the attached example, it is advised that the error occurred on line 2, although in line 4. How to make it warned the correct line?

If my understanding is correct, when you compile code it removes spaces / lines and everything "Human" about scripting. As to computers its wasted space

 

So line 4 becomes line 2 

 

If you compile this

dim $a [1]
MsgBox(0,"",$a[1])

You see it shows line 2 is your error

 

and to remove the rror

dim $a = [""]
MsgBox(0,"",$a[0])

;or 

dim $a[1]
MsgBox(0,"",$a[0])

;or 

dim $a[2]
MsgBox(0,"",$a[1])

If you've got the full version of scite installed these wrappers will create a stripped copy of your script, allowing you to match errors in a .exe with the stripped .au3 file

I understand, InunoTaishou. Thank you.
