Function questions

Question 1

Say I have a function (N1) that within it uses a command that requires 3 inputs (X,Y,Z)

Now what I want is to be able to use something (N2) to get X,Y and automatically place it into N1

So I could type something along the lines of

N2 (AB,CD)

N2 (GE,SG)

N2 (WD,XD)

which would then run function N1 three times, filling in the X and Y variables into N1 automatically. Hopefully that makes sense.

Question 2

This isn't really important but I'm curious so I'll ask. Say someone is able to help me figure out Question 1 and I really like how N2 works and want to use it often. How could I make N2 (and I guess by extension N1) available for use at all times, even if I start another script, besides rewriting the code manually for each new script.

justt,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :x

Second question first. You save the code you want to reuse as a file and then use the #include directive to add it to your new script. This inserts the contents of that file into the new script at the point of the directive when the script is run or compiled. You can then call functions in that file as if they were in the new script - although of course you cannot actually see them. More details are in the Help file under "#include"

Now to the first question. Just use another function as you suggested in your pseudo-code:

; Determine the 3 parameters using function _N2
$iFirst  = _N2(2, 2) ; should return 4
$iSecond = _N2(2, 3) ; should return 6
$iThird  = _N2(4, 5) ; should return 20

; Pass them to function _N1
$iResult = _N1($iFirst, $iSecond, $iThird)
; Should return 30
MsgBox(0, "First Result", $iResult)

; And so should this where we determine the parameter values directly
$iResult = _N1(_N2(2, 2), _N2(2, 3), _N2(4, 5))
MsgBox(0, "Second Result", $iResult)

; Functions

; This function adds the 3 parameters
Func _N1($vA, $vB, $vC)

    Return ($vA + $vB + $vC)

EndFunc

; This function multiplies the 2 parameters
Func _N2($vA, $vB)

    Return ($vA * $vB)

EndFunc

Please ask if you have any questions on the code. :P

P.S. Have you read the tutorials that that you can find here and here - they will help you get over the first few bumps in the road. :shifty:
