Missing ; Before Statement

[Nazkyn]

I'm currently working on and debugging a script and I keep coming across this error - Here's my JavaScript -

This is the data that i'm inputting into my HTML form -

Empire Value: $3,781,581 Rank: 81Money: $2,556,932 Tokens: 90Working Junkies: 500 Training Junkies: 0Sewing Machines: 0 Gun Presses: 0Coat: Pakistani Made Travel Turban Guns: 95Empty Pockets: 6,025 Vests: 72,140Stamina: 200% Thugs: 0Used Pockets: 41,975 Drug Lab Size: 0 Sq. Ft.Current Station: Rit's House Drug Lab Set: Crystal MethDealer Visits Remaining: 0 Text Books: 235

Anyone know what could be causing the error??

Hmmm...try escaping the data before parsing it with your script. See if the error disappears.

Sorry, i'm really new to this... escape the data before parsing??

Oh, I apologize.Just take the data from the form that you're passing to the function and use the escape() function with it.For example, use this as your function:

function answer() {var emptyPocketsOne = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parseemptyPocketsOne = emptyPocketsOne.match(/Empty Pockets: (\d+)/)var usedPocketsOne = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsusedPocketsOne = usedPocketsOne.match(/Used Pockets: (\d+)/)var labSpaceOne = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parselabSpaceOne = labSpaceOne.match(/Drug Lab Size: (\d+)/)var junkiesOne = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsejunkiesOne = junkiesOne.match(/Working Junkies: (\d+)/)var JunkiesTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parseJunkiesTwo = JunkiesTwo.match(/Training Junkies: (\d+)/)var emptyPocketsTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parseemptyPocketsTwo = emptyPocketsTwo.match(/Empty Pockets: (\d+)/)var usedPocketsTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsusedPocketsTwo = usedPocketsTwo.match(/Used Pockets: (\d+)/)var labSpaceTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parseelabSpaceTwo = labSpaceTwo.match(/Drug Lab Size: (\d+)/)var junkiesTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsejunkiesTwo = junkiesTwo.match(/Working Junkies: (\d+)/)var JunkiesTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parseJunkiesTwo = JunkiesTwo.match(/Training Junkies: (\d+)/)var totalJunkies = (junkiesOne[1] + junkiesTwo[1])var resultOne = 0while (usedPocketsOne[1] > totalJunkies - labSpaceOne[1] * 17) {	resultOne = resultOne + 1	usedPocketsOne[1] = usedPocketsOne[1] - totalJunkies + labSpaceOne[1] * 17	totalJunkies = totalJunkies + 1}var resultTwo = 0while (usedPocketsTwo[1] > totalJunkies - labSpaceTwo[1] * 17) {	resultTwo = resultTwo + 1	usedPocketsTwo[1] = usedPocketsTwo[1] - totalJunkies + labSpaceTwo[1] * 17}var visitsOne = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsevisitsOne = visitsOne.match(/Dealer Visits Remaining: (\d)/)if (visitsOne[1] == 0) {	resultOne = resultOne - 2	usedPocketsOne[1] = usedPocketsOne[1] + 1}var visitsTwo = eval(escape(document.calc.regex.value))parsevisitsTwo = visitsTwo.match(/Dealer Visits Remaining: (\d)/)if (visitsTwo[1] == 0) {	resultTwo = resultTwo - 2	usedPocketsTwo[1] = usedPocketsTwo[1] + 1}document.getElementById('result').innerHTML ="<b>You can spend "  +  resultOne  +  "  (  "  +  resultTwo  +  "  )  "  +  "tokens"  +  ","  +  " You need to purchase "  +  (emptyPocketsOne[1] - usedPocketsOne[1])  +  "  (  "  +  (emptyPocketsTwo[1]- usedPocketsTwo[1])  +  "  )  "  +  " drugs"  +  ".</b>"}// End-->

Thanks Getting somewhere, no errors atall But the script isn't reading from the form, do you know what's wrong there??EDIT: I changed the script to this -

And it is, finally reading from the form... though it isn't doing the loop correctly, or maybe it is... but the end result is way off I don't have a clue, also I need the form to accept comma's in numerical value's at the end of each text string, any idea's
