IIF statement giving me "expression error";

[GreyArea]

It's quite asimple statement, not sure why it's not working;

Set Text [movedir] to '{EXP:IIF({TXT:movedir}='right','left','right')}'

The movedir field can only be left or right...I was hoping this simple statement would invert it; so if it's 'right', it becomes left and if it's anything else (given it can only otherwise be 'left') it becomes 'right'.

What am I doing wrong?

The token is replaced by text, and text needs to be enclosed in single quotes:

Code: [Select]

Set Text [movedir] to '{EXP:IIF('{TXT:movedir}'='right','left','right')}'
