Function Call only works 24 times please help

[superboss]

Hi there guys,

long time no speak :-)

Im having an issue, which took me a long time to debug, as normally I only execute this function call maybe 15 times, sometimes it does a few more.

So for a long time it appeared as if simply put, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

Anyway

To cut a long story short, this is my piece of debugging code

**************************

Start Code

$Counter = 0

While 1 = 1

$Counter = $Counter + 1

$Qty = _TesseractScreenCapture(0,"",1,2,1096,1677,1658,1048,0)

$Qty = StringLeft($Qty, 2)

$Qty = Number($Qty)

Sleep(200)

If $Qty = 0 then ExitLoop

WEnd

MsgBox(0,"Msg", $Counter)

End Code

***********************************

Basically, it ends at 24 every time.

Whats happening is, the 24th Call and onwards, Tesseract is returning a blank tif image and therefore $Qty becomes 0.

It was strange how it sometimes just refused to work and returned a 0, until I figured out what was happening.

So Im guessing all I need to do is clear the memory after every call?

_TesseractScreenCapture Function calls the standard UDF as taken from the following link

The reason im posting it here, is because I dont think it is a problem with the Tesseract.au3 file I am using, but rather How I am calling the function and not releasing the memory?

Is there a different way of calling the function so this doesnt keep happening?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

superboss,

You might like to take a look at this post which might solve your problem.

If it does, let me know and I will link the post to the main Tesseract UDF thread you referenced above.
