jchd Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi again,I believe this is kind of continuation of my last (new) reply to the other thread.Here's a game: you are promoted to play the role of the interpreter. Then explain (in precise plain words) when you exit the loop in both codes?Indeed, there is a difference!

jchd Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Looking again at your first post.In the first code the timer is armed after a non-empty string is receivedand the loop exited (thru ExitLoop) on receipt of an empty string and if 3s have elapsed after being armed last.In english, you ExitLoop on receiving an empty string 3s or more after the last receipt of non-empty data.In the second code the timer is made inactive after a non-empty string is receivedit is made active and armed at receipt of an empty stringand the loop exited (thru ExitLoop) on receipt of an empty string and if 3s have elapsed after being armed last.In english, you ExitLoop on receiving an empty string 3s or more after the last receipt of the first empty string following the receipt of non-empty data.Whatever that works or not in your case, I don't see both the same.Now, given what TCPRecv dose (after looking at the help file), I bet that neither code is foulproof. The timer variable should be initialized.I haven't tried it but I suspect that if a single (or 2, dunno) 0x00 is/are received, then your comparison with "" is going to work, albeit you _have_ received something.So even the code standing for "emtpy string" is questionnable. Again, I have not tried it.As for your second post, you sort of cheated by removing the variable input This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

JohnOne Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Looking at that code, I dont see how timerdiff comes into it really If $blah1 then $Blah2 = TimerInit() Else $Blah3 = Timerdiff($blah2) Endif Dosent make sense to me.

If at some time condition "blah1 is met, thenthe timer is armed. After that, if ever condition blak1 is not met anymore, then the timerdiff is computed. Do you see that? That's pretty standard.

jchd Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 @Thanubis, Again, I'm not posting "against you" to make you as an idiot, nor to show how smart I am. Trust me, I've made terrible mistakes and I keep on doing so at times, like everyone. I found it a nice example of showing you and all future reader some subttle differences and illustrate that even if AutoIt is a simple to use language, it nonetheless _is_ a computer language which (like any oher language) doesn't read your mind but instead very strictly what you wrote, intended or not. On this basis, you (and me) need to be very precise in what we write. Do so is generally difficult but can be made a little easier when using rigid principles and good habits.
