Default for standard_i/o_flag in Run() ?

[HighGuy]

Is there a default value for the standard_i/o_flag in Run()? If I set it to -1 then some Run()-commands fail to start. Do I set it to 0 everything works fine.

For example:

Run(@ComSpec, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE, -1)

Of course, this is only an optional parameter, but I need to specify a default value for it if I use some kind of MyRun() wrapper function.

I would suggest selecting one of the values from the help:

standard_i/o_flag [optional]Provide a meaningful handle to one or more STD I/O streams of the child process.

  1 ($STDIN_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDIN stream

  2 ($STDOUT_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDOUT stream

  4 ($STDERR_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDERR stream

It's an optional parameter, so if you want the default behavior (no input or output redirected) don't provide an argument at all.

As an addition to what the people above me said.

Here's an example how I do it.

Func GlobalVarsDelete($VarName = '', $Section = 'Other')
   If $VarName = '' Then
      Return INIDelete(@TempDir & '\GlobalVars.ini', $Section)
   Else
      Return INIDelete(@TempDir & '\GlobalVars.ini', $Section, $VarName)
   EndIf
EndFunc

You can change $VarName = '' to $VarName = Default (should work).

We called that a "mave" back when I played MUD games, Slim.

Optional UDF parameter variables are usually set to 0 ( i.e. $IOFlags = 0)

so long as 0 wouldn't be a valid input for that parameter.
