if then & match string

[BubbleGumDancer]

Func checkstring ()

$Stringinput = InputBox ( "ID Code box", "Paste activation key you got from the email here to run program", "code goes here" )

Sleep(100)

$String = String(101022091284894346834758934)

If NOT $Stringinput = $string Then

MsgBox(0,"","Activation key invalid")

Exit

Else

If $Stringinput = $string Then

MsgBox(0,"","Activation key valid")

Main ()

EndIf

EndIf

EndFunc

ok the message box pops up and thats 100% EPIC but when i enter the correct key it does nothing but if i just press cancle or ok with out any text it will say wrong key when there is no key input

I need it to check for the correct string of numbers if its wrong string = exit

if correct just run the main () function

When i try like this it works !

_checkstring ()


Func _checkstring ()
    $Stringinput = InputBox ( "ID Code box", "Paste activation key you got from the email here to run program", "code goes here" )
    Sleep(100)
    $String = "101022091284894346834758934"
    If NOT $Stringinput = $string Then
        MsgBox(0,"","Activation key invalid")
        Exit
    Else
        If $Stringinput = $string Then
            MsgBox(0,"","Activation key valid")
            ;Main ()
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc

use autoit tag for post code.

wow thank you so much for the help it works great

thank you thank you thank you for the help : )

The second if doesn't make much sense:

_checkstring ()

Func _checkstring ()
    $Stringinput = InputBox ( "ID Code box", "Paste activation key you got from the email here to run program", "code goes here" )
    $String = "101022091284894346834758934"
    If StringCompare($Stringinput, $string) <> 0 Then ;solves trouble with variable types.
        MsgBox(0,"","Activation key invalid")
        Exit
    Else
        ;the key will always be valid if this line is reached. No need to check again.
        MsgBox(0,"","Activation key valid")
    EndIf
EndFunc

edit: used stringcompare

This is why it didn't work !

$String = String(101022091284894346834758934)
ConsoleWrite ( "$String : " & $String & @Crlf )

It return $String = 9223372036854775807

I don't see a limitation for 27 characters in the string function in help file...

( Remarks Maximum length is 2147483647 characters (but keep in mind that no line in an AutoIt script can exceed 4095 characters.) )

it seems to be working XD

You're right, but i don't understand why string function return this !

[Tvern]

You're right, but i don't understand why string function return this !

Think about this:

$var = 101022091284894346834758934
ConsoleWrite ( VarGetType($var) & " : " & $var & @Crlf )

Edit:

The largest integer AutoIt can hold is a 64-bit signed integer. 64 bits can be used to represent 2^64 (18,446,744,073,709,551,616) unique numbers.

Half those numbers are negative so that makes the range -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 to +9,223,372,036,854,775,807 as the range includes 0 (and I would think -0 too?)

Disclaimer:

I don't know how a signed Int64 stores it's data, so don't make any assumptions based on my edit. It could:

Count from the lowest (negative) number to the highest (positive) in order (as assumed by the first edit line, but that means there is a missing number)

Use 63 bits to store a number and the remaining one bit to specify +, or - (as assumed by the 2nd edit line, but I can't seem to set -0, which would exist in this case)

Something else?

Zero = Zero. Its special, and is neither negative nor positive. Or it has no sign, as it is ... nothing.

Signed range is -(2^63) to (2^63)-1. The -1 here is of course to account for the zero (which, as a valid value/item, is stored on the positive side -> signed byte value range.)

Signed Int64 numbers and unsigned Int64 numbers are stored in the same way when it comes to there value bytes.

values based on bytes.

BytesHex: 0x00* .. 0x0F*.. 0xF0* .. 0xFF*

unsigned: 0 .. (2^63)-1 .. (2^63) .. (2^64)-1

signed..: 0 .. (2^63)-1 .. -(2^63) to -1
