Addon (duh)

well hi.

i'm trying to make an adon that acts like a picture viewer in game. i have some stuff written so far, though its probally horrible. i get the error of "[<dir>.lua]:16 <eof> expected near end"
what does that mean? i was thinking end Of Function, but :undecided:

here's the lua
PicturesV = {}
function PicturesV.OnLoad()
SlashCmdList["PICTURES"] = PicturesV.show
SLASH_PICS1 = "/pic"
end
function PicturesV.show(msg)
if(msg == "1") then
local text = string.gsub(msg, "");
if(text == "s") then
pic1:Show();
end
elseif(text == "h") then
pic2:Hide();
end
end
end
end

and xml

so far there's only one picture in it, because i didn't wanna go far with it crashing.
thanks for the help. (yes i got a toc and everything, it works)

PicturesV = {}
function PicturesV.OnLoad()
SlashCmdList["PICTURES"] = PicturesV.show
SLASH_PICS1 = "/pic"
end
function PicturesV.show(msg)
if(msg == "1") then
local text = string.gsub(msg, "");
if(text == "s") then
pic1:Show();
elseif(text == "h") then
pic2:Hide();
end
end
end

You had a few too many end statements. When you use elseif after the first if you only need one end after the elseif statements. I didn't look at the logic, just the syntax related to your error message.

Your command line parsing is badly broken. None s/h comparsions will ever match. string.gsub requires at least three arguments as well.
