Unknown number of parameters

Started by czardas,

I am aware that this can be done by passing a single array of values as the parameter to a function, but I intend to write some functions which accept an indefinite number of separate integers as parameters. It amounts to the same thing in the end, but the syntax will be different. So here's what I came up with.

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $aParamMagic = _ParamMagic(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) ; Up to 100 parameters allowed

If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error Code", @error)
Else
    _ArrayDisplay($aParamMagic, "Parameters Passed")
EndIf

Func _ParamMagic($00="",$01="",$02="",$03="",$04="",$05="",$06="",$07="",$08="",$09="", _
    $10="",$11="",$12="",$13="",$14="",$15="",$16="",$17="",$18="",$19="", _
    $20="",$21="",$22="",$23="",$24="",$25="",$26="",$27="",$28="",$29="", _
    $30="",$31="",$32="",$33="",$34="",$35="",$36="",$37="",$38="",$39="", _
    $40="",$41="",$42="",$43="",$44="",$45="",$46="",$47="",$48="",$49="", _
    $50="",$51="",$52="",$53="",$54="",$55="",$56="",$57="",$58="",$59="", _
    $60="",$61="",$62="",$63="",$64="",$65="",$66="",$67="",$68="",$69="", _
    $70="",$71="",$72="",$73="",$74="",$75="",$76="",$77="",$78="",$79="", _
    $80="",$81="",$82="",$83="",$84="",$85="",$86="",$87="",$88="",$89="", _
    $90="",$91="",$92="",$93="",$94="",$95="",$96="",$97="",$98="",$99="")

    Local $aParam[100] = [$00,$01,$02,$03,$04,$05,$06,$07,$08,$09,$10,$11, _
    $12,$13,$14,$15,$16,$17,$18,$19,$20,$21,$22,$23,$24,$25,$26,$27,$28,$29, _
    $30,$31,$32,$33,$34,$35,$36,$37,$38,$39,$40,$41,$42,$43,$44,$45,$46,$47, _
    $48,$49,$50,$51,$52,$53,$54,$55,$56,$57,$58,$59,$60,$61,$62,$63,$64,$65, _
    $66,$67,$68,$69,$70,$71,$72,$73,$74,$75,$76,$77,$78,$79,$80,$81,$82,$83, _
    $84,$85,$86,$87,$88,$89,$90,$91,$92,$93,$94,$95,$96,$97,$98,$99]

    For $i = 0 To 99 ; See how many parameters were passed to the func
        If IsString($aParam[$i]) Then ; The first non integer occurs
            ExitLoop
        ElseIf Not IsInt($aParam[$i]) Then
            Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
        EndIf
    Next
    If $i = 0 Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) ; No valid parameters
    ReDim $aParam[$i] ; Array only needs to contain valid parameters

    ; Do stuff here
    Return $aParam ; Example return variable
EndFunc

Is there another way to do this with AutoIt? The problem is that the code is a bit bulky.

Look at @NumParams and #forceref for another way of doing it. You'll also get a good idea of how this is done in WinHTTP.au3. Plus, if the 'bulky' thing is an issue then go with the array option, otherwise this is as good as it gets as far as I know.

Thanks guiness. @NumParams was the macro that I had forgotten about. That was exactly the response I was looking for. :D

      PHP's parse_url and parse_str ported to AutoIt3
      By Jefrey
      I've ported these two functions from PHP to AU3 to work with URLs.
      Made them for those who work with libraries like HTTP.au3 (not the one I coded), that needs passing the server domain, path, etc., instead of the full URL.
      Grab the lib here.
      ParseURL( $sURL )
      Parses the URL and splits it into defined parts. Returns an array:
      [0] = Full URL (same as $sURL) [1] = Protocol (i.e.: http, https, ftp, ws...) [2] = Domain [3] = Port (or null if not specified) [4] = Path (or null if not specified) [5] = Query string (everything after the ? - or null if not specified) Example:
      $aExample = ParseURL("https://google.com:8080/?name=doe") MsgBox(0, "Test", "URL: " & $aExample[0] & @CRLF & _ "Protocol: " & $aExample[1] & @CRLF & _ "Domain: " & $aExample[2] & @CRLF & _ "Port: " & $aExample[3] & @CRLF & _ "Path: " & $aExample[4] & @CRLF & _ "Query string: " & $aExample[5])  
      ParseStr( $sStr )
      Parses a query string (similar to the [5] of the previous function) and returns a multidimensional array, where:
      [0][0] = number of variables found [0][1] = ununsed [1][0] = key name of the first variable [1][1] = first variable value (already URL decoded) [n][0] = key name of the nth variable [n][1] = nth variable value (already URL decoded) Example:
      include <Array.au3> ; need only to do _ArrayDisplay, not needed by the lib _ArrayDisplay(ParseStr("foo=bar&test=lol%20123")) #cs Result is: [0][0] = 2 [0][1] = ununsed [1][0] = foo [1][1] = bar [2][0] = test [2][1] = lol 123 #ce Feel free to fork!

      [SOLVED] GUI with command line options
      By Skysnake
      Hi Everyone
      I want to have a GUI, but which will accept command line options on launch.
      So, the commanline would look something like
      myAPP.EXE -bigfont -bigicon
      where myAPP.EXE would be the name of the AutoIt EXE, and the -bigfont & -bigicon items represent optional command line parameters with which the EXE starts.
      I am not looking at creating a CUI.  This is GUI, but with startup command line parameters.  These command line parameters would only be read once, during start up of the EXE.
      I have searched the forum, no luck.  What I did find was this commented by Water: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/138754-adding-command-line-parameter/
      Should I start the GUI EXE as normal, and then first possible opportunity read the command line? Is that the way to go?
      Thanks in advance

      Is it possible
      By trdunsworth
      I'm working on a program with a colleague. He wants to create a function which takes 3 parameters and then loop through two arrays which I think we can do well enough. However, we want this to be attached to a GUI form we've built so when the user clicks a button, it will invoke the function which then takes the local variables as the parameters for the function and executes it.
      I know that GUICtrlSetOnEvent can't take parameters, but is there a way to get around this and make this work?

      Get command line parameters Utility v1.0.2.3 - Retrieve Switches of command line Tools - Update of 2012-06-30
      By wakillon
      Each time I want try a Command Line Tool I don't remember his switchs !

      So I have made this little utility :

      Get command line parameters Utility v1.0.2.3




      The difficulty is they don't answer the same way or not at all !
      Script start by trying common switches by 2 ways and leaves you try manually after.
      You also have the possibility to use an embeded Dos Prompt instead of the edit box.
      In all cases you can create a text file for save infos.
      Type "ESC" for quit at any time.
      A first run compiled is needed for install a contextual menu for exefile.

      As usual externals files are downloaded at first execution.
      See Tray menu for options.

      Previous downloads : 628

      Update 2012-06-30

      Source : GetCommandLineParameters v1.0.2.3.au3
      executable : GetCommandLineParameters.exe.html
      (Once this html file downloaded, double click on it for start the download)
       
      Sure it will help you !
