if....then....(problem)else

[markitus90]

Hi guys,

I cant use the else function in the program. I dont know why. I have x64 processor and windows 7 x64.

I am doing this type of thing:

if InputBox('', 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 9 or 11) then MsgBox(0, '', 'win') Else MsgBox(0, '', 'Lost')

and it returns me this error:

C:\Users\Marco Aurelio\Documents\Mis programaciones\Casino - Mini ruleta.au3(13,72) : ERROR: syntax error

if InputBox('', 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 9 or 11) then MsgBox(0, '', 'win') Else

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

Everytime i use else it returns me the same mistake. I dont know if its a mistake i do or its a bug.

I am new in this world.,

thanks to answer me.

Marco

look at the helpfile for the proper syntax.. it needs to be on separate lines when ELSE is used.

The OR logic is also wrong ... and even the If Input() is wrong.

You have to assign the Inputbox a var and then check it.

Dim $Win[6]

$Win[0] = 1
$Win[1] = 3
$Win[2] = 5
$Win[3] = 7
$Win[4] = 9
$Win[5] = 11

$Message = InputBox("This is a test", "")

For $i = 0 To $Win[5] Step +1
If $Message = $Win[$i] Then
MsgBox(0, "Test", "WIN!")
ExitLoop
EndIf
If $i = 5 Then
MsgBox(0, "Test", "No WIN!")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "Test", "Done")

This is a ROUGH example, it can be done in better ways. But its just one I thought of real quick.

markitus90,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

It is not a bug - it is you!

Look at the syntax for If...Then and InputBox in the Help file - not exactly what you have there is is?

Try something like this:

$sAnswer = InputBox("Please Respond", "Please enter a number between 0 and 12")

If $sAnswer = 1 Or $sAnswer = 3 Or $sAnswer = 5 Or $sAnswer = 7 Or $sAnswer = 9 Or $sAnswer = 11 Then
    MsgBox(0, '', 'win')
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Lost')
EndIf

You are obviously a new coder. Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

I know you want to start coding NOW, but a little study will save you a lot of trouble later on, believe me. Good luck.
