Compile error "end expected"

[XFactHD 0]

When trying to execute this code (http://pastebin.com/Kujgx5sx), the computer gives me the following error:

"control.lua:73: 'end' expected (to close 'if' at line 47) near <eof>"

If I comment out the erroring "if" block with the method to execute and the "end" statement or put an "end" statement at the expected position, it gives me the same error for another of the three "if" blocks. If I comment out all three if blocks, it expects me to put an "end" at <eof> to close the method. I don't get why, because all the "end" statements the computer expects are in the code. If I put all four "end" statements the computer expects, the program runs the way it should.

In Lua the else if statement isn't written as two words but as one: elseif.

When you try to use else if like you would elseif it will lead to this error.

OK, now the code looks like that: http://pastebin.com/nFuMSipk.

But I still get an error: "control.lua:76: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 46) near <eof>".

Luas if statements are ended just with a "then" not with a "then do".

 

EDIT:

Also in Lua you don't need an end after every elseif so it should look like this:

if test == 1 then
  print("Hello World!!!")
elseif test == 0 then
  print("Bye World!!!")
end

not like this:

if test == 1 then
  print("Hello World!!!")
end
elseif test == 0 then
  print("Bye World!!!")
end
end

Now the code looks like that: http://pastebin.com/HpkWL09X and I get "control.lua:50: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 46) near 'elseif'".

 

EDIT: I saw your edit and now everything works. Thank you very much for your help.

That function still contained the same error, it should look like this:

local function getClick(_, x, y, _, _)
  if x > 1 and x < 3 and y > 1 and y < 3 and active == false then
    setStatus(true)
  elseif x > 1 and x < 3 and y > 1 and y < 3 and active == true then
    setStatus(false)
  elseif x > 72 and x < 74 and y > 0 and y < 2 then
    shutdown()
  end
end

I didn't change the pastebin link when writing the EDIT.

Now I have another problem, if event.listen("touch", getClick) receives a touch signal, the defined callback function doesn't get triggered.

If I try this in a small test program that prints the results to screen, the coordinates are exactly as expected.
