[Swift-user] iterate doesn't stop

[Luciano Piccoli]

Hi,

The following simple Swift script works fine:

    -- iterate.swift -------
    int N=4;
    iterate i {
      print (i);
    } until (i == N);
    ---------------------

    bash-3.00$ swift iterate.swift
    Swift vsvn swift-r1744 cog-r1936

    RunID: 20080326-1408-b4l23enc
    Progress:
    0
    1
    2
    3
    4
    Final status:

However, if the number of iterations N is read from the command line it 
does not stop:

    -- iterate.swift -------
    int N=@arg("N");
    iterate i {
      print (i);
    } until (i == N);
    ----------------------
    bash-3.00$ swift iterate.swift -N=4
    Swift vsvn swift-r1744 cog-r1936
   
    RunID: 20080326-1409-bv0q7jm2
    Progress: 0
   
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    ...
    69348
    69349
    ...

Any ideas why?
Thanks,
Luciano
