TwistedGA Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hey guys! Such an awesome program, figured if I'm going to be working with it, I need to join up on the forums and ask questions for problems I can't find an answer for.. Here's the dealio: I'm trying to pass an operator through a function call. It's basic math, with some formatting applied, so I'm gonna try to simplify the code into basic form.. I may be using terrible coding methods, but as I progress it tends to get better. Func math(byref $op, byref $val) $value1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1, 1) $value2 = StringTrimLeft($value1, 1) $value3 = $value2 $op $val)) EndFunc call: math("+", "7.50") Something simple will probably cure the error that I keep getting, I've been searching for a while without much luck. It's a pita to find anything without being able to get specific.. Thanks in advance for anyone thats willing to help another noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchd Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) Like this: ;~ Func math(byref $op, byref $val) ; no real need to pass ByRef as you don't modify these arguments Func math($op, $val) ;~ $value1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1, 1) ; let's simplify this into a fixed value for testing ;~ $value2 = StringTrimLeft($value1, 1) ; why it that here? Let's forget it for now Local $value1 = 123.456 Return(Execute($value1 & $op & $val)) EndFunc ConsoleWrite(math("+", "7.50") & @LF) Edit: Edited May 28, 2010 by jchd This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

TwistedGA Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Like this: ;~ Func math(byref $op, byref $val) ; no real need to pass ByRef as you don't modify these arguments **ADD - Good to know.. Thanks! Func math($op, $val) ;~ $value1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1, 1) ; let's simplify this into a fixed value for testing ;~ $value2 = StringTrimLeft($value1, 1) ; why is that here? Let's forget it for now. **ADD - This removes a currency symbol from the input box text value. Local $value1 = 123.456 Return(Execute($value1 & $op & $val)) EndFunc ConsoleWrite(math("+", "7.50") & @LF) Edit: Added some explanations to the comments in your post.. Thanks for the help man! lulz, r u using autoit to make a lisp interpreter or somefink? Eh? Not sure I understand your pun.. Thanks though... The end result is this; Func math($var1, $var2, $var3) $val1 = GUICtrlRead($var1, 1); Read InputBox1 $val2 = StringTrimLeft($val1, 1); Remove $ from InputBox1.Value $val3 = Execute($val2 & $var2 & $var3); Execute expressions GUICtrlSetData($var1, "$" & stringformat("%.2f", $val3)); Display result in InputBox1 EndFunc math($InputBox1, "+", "7.50") I'm sure it's probably sloppy as far as standards go but, 1 group is as follows: 1 input box - text set at "$0.00" 2 buttons - 1 button adds to input box text, the other subtracts, keeping the text formatted with 2 decimal places and the monies symbol. GUI will contain 20+ input/button groups, different prices assigned to each. With a little time I should be able to trim the code down even more, any advice is welcome though.. Thanks again for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
