Like2Code Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Hi All, I'm a recent convert from VBScript, I have actually want to start using AutoIt before but did not have the time to devote. I really like it but I have a few questions. Is there an equivalent to 'Option Explicit'? Is 'Dim' the same as 'Global' if done outside of a function or sub? What is the purpose of 'Local'? Is there a general 'Err' object to handle errors? Thanks!! Edit: sorry the title was suppose to say "New to AutoIt" Edited March 12, 2010 by Like2Code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) From the helpfile: The difference between Dim, Local and Global is the scope in which they are created: Dim = Local scope if the variable name doesn't already exist globally (in which case it reuses the global variable!) Global = Forces creation of the variable in the Global scope Local = Forces creation of the variable in the Local/Function scope No, you have to handle the errors yourself.

PsaltyDS Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Dim = Local scope if the variable name doesn't already exist globally (in which case it reuses the global variable!)Note that DIM is considered bad practice. Much better to be aware of the scope you need and use only Global or Local as required. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
