Syntax errror in procedure

Hi,

Who can help me to solve the errors in this procedure:
procedure TForm1.FileBtnClick(Sender: TObject);
var aText: string;
begin
aText := '';
if (TreeView1.Selected <> nil) and (TreeView1.Selected.ImageIndex = 15) then
begin
InputQuery('New Item', 'New Item Name:', aText)
if length (trim(aText)) = 0 then <==========================
repeat
MessageBox(0, 'You must enter an item name.', 'Error', MB_OK + MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
until length(trim(aText)) > 0;
end;
if length(trim(aText)) > 0 then AddItem(aText, 17, TreeView1.Selected);
end;
end else <==========================
ShowMessage('Select a folder in the treeview first.');
end;

Errors:
[Pascal Error] Unit1.pas(249): E2066 Missing operator or semicolon

angelIII,
What are *you* doing over here? Are you trying to add a Delphi Zone notch to your genius belt? ;-)

SteveBay,

let me explain:
§ I was declared once the nerdiest nerd of all times @ EE (at some EE conference)... looking at all questions of EE all the time ...
§ seriously, my programming started with Turbo Pascal and then Borland Delphi. despite the fact that it is thousands of years ago (at least), some principles are still the same, and even the same across the different languages

§ some concurrence might do good, no ? 8)
