[solved] RegWrite(), optional parameters. (-)

[MvGulik 86]

RegWrite(), optional parameters. (?)

Syntax: RegWrite ( "keyname" [,"valuename" [, "type" [, value]]] )

Considering there optional (no terminal error if left out), should't they not also do something useful?

Following 2 case's are more or less NOP case's. (always 0/error.)

RegWrite ( "keyname" ,"valuename" )

RegWrite ( "keyname" ,"valuename" , "type")

Or from a practical (useful) use the syntax resolves to

RegWrite ( "keyname" [,"valuename" , "type" , value] )

Not a (complicated enough) AutoIt related matter I take it! (or to complicated ... Na, that would be just to silly.)

I also take it using the tracker is the better way to get some closure.

- Funny, as I though it was intended to work the other way around.

- Never mind any potential additional information that might clear up this case, and potential similar other cases.

- At least it will be kinda officially resolved that way.

lol

Lets strike that last one. Easier to just draw a conclusion and drop that it in a box. Costing less energy, and no need to think about it anymore.

I mean no disrespect but I put forth effort to gain understanding of this post but it was all for naught. Could you clearly spell this out for my simple mind?

He's saying that optionality of some parameters is more something else than optional.

They're not as optional as it seems?

Look, I'm an American. I need simplicity. I like my coffee black.

Something like that ... I guess.

@LaCastiglione:

The Syntax rule of RegWrite() is technically correct. But from a practical usefulness point of view its misleading/ambiguous.

As the two case I highlighted are useless as they always fail.

... Reminds me of a "Technical correct" Microsoft joke ...
