Array helper function

[erifash]

Are you tired of this?

$ret = DllCall("somedll.dll", "whatever", "function")
$ret2 = DllCall("anotherdll.dll", "whatever", $ret[0])
Return $ret2[4]

Do you wish you could do this?

Return DllCall("anotherdll.dll", "whatever", DllCall("somedll.dll", "whatever", "function")[0])[4]

Now you can do fancy DLL stuff all on one line with this function!

Func e($aArray, $iElement = 0)
    Return $aArray[$iElement]
EndFunc

I keep the name short to minimize the amount of typing you have to do. The function I have created can turn the above code into this:

Return e(DllCall("anotherdll.dll", "whatever", e(DllCall("somedll.dll", "whatever", "function"))), 4)

The purpose of this function is to minimize the amount of code you have to type if you need quick access to any element in a one-dimensional array. I hope you like it!

Comments or questions are greatly appreciated!

That's awfully ingenious

But I still get to type in the awful .DLL call

Thanks! I type medium-fast while coding so long function names aren't really a problem. My friend types so fast he actually skips letters!

yes i wished i could do that !

did it a long time ago for myself (only it was called r() )

(would be cool if autoit actually made it build-in the way you did it in the 2nd box)

and your friend should get a faster keyboard/pc

Yeah, that would be much nicer. Sadly it would just seem too weird for me.

Why would it be weird for you?
