annelinn Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) I've searched the forum and the help files for this problem, and no success. Perhaps I'm missing something? $something1 = FileReadLine($file) $something2 = FileReadLine($file) Let's assume that the two lines read are 750 and 1000. I assumed this would have the same effect as setting the variables this way $something1 = 750 $something2 = 1000 But no! If $something1 > $something2 Then MsgBox(1, "", "750 is bigger than 1000!") ElseIf $something2 > $something1 Then MsgBox(1, "", "1000 is bigger than 750!") EndIf Using literal variable assignments gives the correct message box, but using FileReadLine produces the wrong one. AutoIT seems to be treating the values 750 and 1000 as strings, not integers. What is going on? Edited December 18, 2009 by annelinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 No, FileReadLine() returns a string. If you want to simulate, it would be: ; $something1 = 750 ; $something2 = 1000 $something1 = "750" $something2 = "1000" Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 18, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2009 annelinn ,AutoIT seems to be treating the values 750 and 1000 as strings, not integersFrom the Help file:FileReadLine - Read in a line of text from a previously opened text file. Return Value - Success: Returns a line of textSo you are getting exactly what you should - a string.$something1 = FileReadLine($file) is the equivalent of $something1 = "750"; whereas $something1 = 750 sets the variable to the integer value 750.Remember that Autoit uses untyped variables. It is up to you to remember what the content is and use functions like Num, Binary, String, etc to get the content into the form you need.

annelinn Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Understood! And in case anyone else reads this, the way to convert the string into an integer is If StringIsInt($string) = 1 Then $string = Number($string) EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
