Basic scripting issue

[Rawshark 11]

So I am very new to scripting and am trying to make a basic greeting for an Arma 3 MP server. The hint.sqf file looks like this:

_theGreeting = "Welcome";

Hint_theGreeting;

Very basic but there is a problem when I test it in the Eden editor - I get the following error 
|#|Hint_theGreeting;'
Error undefined variable in expression: hint_thegreeting



I have no idea what I am missing here but any help would be amazing. Thanks!

You need to add a whitespace between the command and argument: 

hint _theGreeting;

Still no luck! I'm using ArmA edit and I have it written like:

 

 

but I still get the same error message

First of all, try and get poseidon. It's so amazing, I have to contain myself.

Like TeTeT wrote, hint "something" shouldn't return an error.

Type it out manually and see if the error persists.

hint format ["%1", _theGreeting];

 This means you are still calling the old file from cache or otherwise. The new code is correct and should work.
