I'm trying to get my feet wet with MikroTik scripts. After having a basic script I'm trying to clean it up a bit and wrap certain parts into functions.
When doing this with the fetch function it seems to behave different:
The part runs without issues but when $updateDDNS is called there is an error "failure: Mode not specified", if the mode gets specified the next error appears ("failure: Please provide IP address or host") and so on...
When the variable $afraidSyncURL gets replaced by the actual value within $updateDDNS the script works, but its not clear exactly why.
Why do the two calls behave differently?
