function args, is there a way

[kjactive]

I was wondering - is there a way to dynamic read how many arguments there is send to a function like a form of args tag or something...

Do you mean like a Calltip, that informs you of the needed parameters to insert into a function ?

[CyberSlug]

Can you give an example what you need to do?

[kjactive]

Well that's hard to give an example here but I'll try...

Foo('d','da','dad') // call the function with three arguments

Func Foo(@args) // the variables get auto initiated as locals as one array with something like @args as a counter...

FOR $a = 1 TO @args

ConsoleWrite($arg[$a] & @CR)

Next

EndFunc

Something like this, it would be nice not to make an array before but just cast it on to the function and this take care of making these arguments into an array local...

I know this is more to expect but...

Have you looked at the macro:

@NumParams

Number of parameters used in calling the user function.

But the macro does not do the array concept.

Func Foo($one, $two, $three)
   FOR $a = 1 TO @NumParams
      ConsoleWrite($arg[$a] & @CR)
   Next
EndFunc

One approach is to pass an array to a function which can have different sizes.

Func Max(ByRef $array)
    Dim $i, $retval

    If Not IsArray($array) Then
        return $array ; The only thing, so it must be the largest
    Endif
    $retval = $array[0]
    For $i = 1 to UBound($array)-1
         If $retval < $array[$i] Then
              $retval = $array[$i] 
         Endif
    Next
    return $retval
EndFunc

Well if there is a parameter to scope 'how many arguments send to a function' then it would be easy ( I think ) to do the array concept - wouldn't that be nice and come in handy?
