MAXSCRIPT error with multiple If expressions - max

Question

I've started learning Maxscripts and i've now hit a wall,
im trying to get the name of my selection, if it's a single object and
then if its more than 1, have the label display the number of objects as a string.
but i keep getting an error... any idea?
group "Current Selection:"
(
label lbl_01 "Nothing Selected"
)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Current Selection Function
fn letmeknow obj=
(
local contador = (selection.count as string)
if selection.count != 0 then
(
lbl_01.text = ("Name: " + obj.name)
)
else
(
lbl_01.text = "Nothing Selected"
)
if selection.count >= 2 do (lbl_01.text = ("Objects: " + contador))
)

Looks like the issue is outside the code you've supplied and without seeing the rest of the code, it's hard to tell. Anyway, here's a working example using case expression instead of multiple ifs:
rollout test "Test"
(
group "Current Selection:"
(
label lbl_01 "Nothing Selected"
)
button btnTest "Test"
fn getSelectionString =
(
case selection.count of
(
0 : "Nothing Selected"
1 : "Name: " + selection[1].name
default : "Objects: " + selection.count as string
)
)
on btnTest pressed do
lbl_01.text = getSelectionString()
)
createDialog test
