I get an eror message in the console.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Provided on your data, i can not say what the problem.

It is advisable to specify in which cases the error and what version IncludesHelper used.

[Fossil Rock]

Version 1.4 from OP. I click the tool from the Tools menu and in immediately returns the error. The message appears for every .au3 file I try.

Also, I noticed that the option to enable/disable it in the SciTE config is not there. Should it be?

[asdf8]

Apparently the problem is properly connected IncludesHelper to SciTE.

Enable or disable IncludesHelper to SciTE can only edit the file "au3.properties".

If you are using SciTE4AutoIt3 : Menu Options > Open au3.properties

If you are using IncludesHelper.au3 need to add a section:

command.37.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.au3" "$(FilePath)"

command.name.37.$(au3)=Includes Helper

command.save.before.37.$(au3)=1

command.shortcut.37.$(au3)=Ctrl+Enter

where:

37 ( before ".$(au3)=" ) - unique number of the section menu

$(autoit3dir) - macro specifies the directory with installed AutoIt (As an example "C:Program FilesAutoIt3")

$(SciteDefaultHome) - macro specifies the directory with installed SciTE (As an example "C:Program FilesAutoIt3SciTE", see )

For SciTE3AutoIt3 ".$(au3)=" should be replaced by ".*.au3="

Files that are highlighted in red are solely responsible to exist.

If you are using IncludesHelper.a3x :

command.37.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.a3x" "$(FilePath)"

command.name.37.$(au3)=Includes Helper

command.save.before.37.$(au3)=1

command.shortcut.37.$(au3)=Ctrl+Enter

If you are using IncludesHelper.exe :

command.37.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.exe" "$(FilePath)"

command.name.37.$(au3)=Includes Helper

command.save.before.37.$(au3)=1

command.shortcut.37.$(au3)=Ctrl+Enter

Check beside itself correctness of the paths to files.

If you are using SciTE4AutoIt3, the problem may be that the macro "autoit3dir" is not defined (see ).

If so, there are several solutions:

1. In the file "au3.properties" uncomment line :

# autoit3dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3

ie, remove leading char "#", path to the directory with installed AutoIt must be correct.

2. Instead of "$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" to specify the full path to autoit3.exe

3. Use IncludesHelper.exe

Added "# 37 Includes Helper by asdf8" (header) in au3.properties 'Includes Helper' section for it to display in SciTE Config Tool Section.

# 37 Includes Helper by asdf8
command.37.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.au3" "$(FilePath)"
# for IncludesHelper.a3x :
# command.37.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.a3x" "$(FilePath)"
# for IncludesHelper.exe :
# command.37.*.au3="$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.exe" "$(FilePath)"
command.name.37.*.au3=Includes Helper
command.save.before.37.*.au3=1
command.shortcut.37.*.au3=Ctrl+Enter

Still haven't resolved the error.

Here's the problem...

command.37.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)\autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)\IncludesHelper\IncludesHelper.au3" "$(FilePath)

$(autoit3dir) is not returning the directory path information. Where is this defined?

When I substitute '$(autoit3dir)' with the actual path, it works.

$(autoit3dir) is defined inside the au3.properties file.

once again quote my last post:

I apologize, I did not understand you to begin with and that's my fault. It's all good now. Thank you.

$(autoit3dir) is defined inside the au3.properties file.

Thank you.

I have also copied it with the missing slashs!

-> command.37.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)autoit3.exe" "$(SciteDefaultHome)IncludesHelperIncludesHelper.au3" "$(FilePath)

Edit: command.37.*.au3 ->become-> command.37.$(au3), * also changing, isn`t it?

Please, correct that in the first postings! Thanks.

Just for the record: the $(autoit3dir) variable is not available anymore in the latest production version of SciTE4AutoIt3.

You need to add it by adding something like this to your SciTEUser.properties:

autoit3dir=$(SciteDefaultHome)\..

Can you please update the script for 3.3.10.2?

[asdf8]

Can you please update the script for 3.3.10.2?

 

Version supports also AutoIt 3.3.10.2 currently exists only for the modified for AutoIt SciTe-Ru.

Since I do not use SciTE4AutoIt3, I need some time, and then I will publish the new version here.

[asdf8]

Updated version. See first post.

[saudumm]

Is there any way to inlcude the "User Includes" Directory, which is configured in SciTE via CTRL+1 ? IncludesHelper works great, but it ignores all my own Includes, which are located seperately in that directory.

[asdf8]

saudumm,

Before start to do in this direction, I have to understand the principle of connecting additional folders with include files for compile or run AutoIt-script.
At first glance it seems that autoit3.exe when runing and aut2exe.exe when compiling the script define the main folder include files based on a relative path, and an additional folder - from the information in the registry, ie for AutoIt installed in the system.
I, hope and some other users AutoIt, use several different versions of AutoIt, and installed in the system can be only one instance of AutoIt - this is not a problem, AutoIt can run or compile the script portably, but here is additional folder will be determined for installed AutoIt.
This can lead to errors version compatibility. If my assumption is correct, I will not do to support additional folders and advise place files custom UDF in the main folder with include files.

[Jos]

From the #include Helpfile page:

 

There is a special registry value that can be created at "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutoIt v3AutoIt" called "Include". It should be a REG_SZ (string) value. The contents of this value are a semi-colon delimited list of directories that should be searched for files when resolving #include's in addition to the standard locations.
