I am getting the error

bios:337: [string "startup"]:16: '<eof>' expected

when i attempt to run my program. It is a program designed to require a password to open an iron door on Minecraft. The problem is when it gets to the end and it is supposed to reboot to repeat the program, the error above appears. Here is my code:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
local side = "left"
local password = "Password" //Not real password, just a note
write "Password: "
local input == (password) then
term.clear()
write "Access Granted"
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
sleep(5)
redstone.setOutput("left", false)
os.reboot()

else
term.clear()
write "Your Failure Saddens Me :(/>/>"
sleep(3)
os.shutdown()
end

Split into new topic.

You don't have an if statement, so how can you have an else or an end?

I think you missed a couple of lines around line 5, nonetheless I've refactored the code, and it should work like this.

When running if statements, it needs to be in the following format, or it won't work:

if someCondition == someValue then
	--do first action
elseif someCondition == someOtherValue then
	--do another action
else
	--do action if not the same as anything above.
end

You can have as many elseif's as you want, but only one if or else. Of course, always remember to end your conditional statements.

You might want to put an os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw somewhere there, stops the program being terminated.

Hrm, I thought I forgot something, thanks for the reminder.
