User Defined Variables stored in Own Library

[ZWD40]

Im making my own library containing my oft used functions

how do I store my often used variables in that library

and how do I call it on my other scripts?

ZWD40,

The short answer is to declare your variables in Global scope within the file and #include the file at the top of your script. Then you can use them like any other variable.

The bigger question is what sort of variables are you looking to store in this file? Almost by definition, variables change in value - so what is the purpose of storing them?

mostly dimensions coordinates

since Im using a bunch of common functions that I use on my 2 laptops and my desktop

and they have differing resolutions, file paths, etc

so I thought I'd create my own library containing my oft used functions(for various scripts) and thought I'd clean it up a bit and use pre-determined variables for each computer

thanks for the quick reply

ZWD40,

I thought something like that might the case, but I felt I had to ask.

You might want to declare them as Const so that you get a warning if you try to reuse the same name in a script.

here's my understanding of it:

;--myListOfCommonFuncs.au3

Const Dim $coord1OfFuncX[2] = [0,0]
func iDoStuff()
endfunc

;--specializedFunc1.au3
#include <myListOfCommonFuncs.au3>

mouseclick("left", $coord1OfFuncX[0], $coord1OfFuncX[1])

thanks for the quick replies and for your awesome sig

ZWD40,

Looks fine, but do not use Dim - set the scope explicitly with Global. Read the Variables - using Global, Local and ByRef tutorial in the Wiki to find out more.

Glad you like my UDFs.
