Do I need to put an error check after each selection just like the one after the function _ComputerGetBIOS($BIOS)? and do I need a variable returned ($BIOS) in the example or ?

Description:
    This script reads a 3 column CSV, presents the user with a selection from 1st column,
        then subselections from second column that meet the criteria of the 1st colunmn.
        The third column is used as a final subdir for drive mapping.
        WMI is used to determine workstation serial# which is used as part of subdir
        creation for the Ghost backup image.
    Currently used with Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 (aka Ghost 11.5 Corporate) and has been successfully run from
       a Win7PE bootable USB (with WMI support).
 Kudos:
    WMI code and corresponding functions via Jarvis J. Stubblefield (JSThePatriot) http://www.vortexrevolutions.com/
    **Special thanks to BrewManNH from the forums on autoitscript.com and also to Melba23 for her prior posts of
    which I grabbed a code snippet for the combo selection and checking for closure of combos.

If the variable is global or passed with byref it doesn't need to be returned. It is best practice to use @error, but if it works, is it necessary? In your function, @error resets at the beginning of a function, so it would always return false.

Messing with @error is best practice, and is usually most useful for exiting loops, ie Do something until you can no longer do it.

"If a function can set the @error flag, you should always check it before using a return value - if @error indicates an error then the function return value is generally undefined...

@error is always set to 0 when entering in a function."

      I mean internal error messages
      for example
      AutoIt Error
      Line 4  (File "D:\my projects\NVDA Manager\New AutoIt v3
      Script.au3"):
      $script[1] = 1
      $script^ ERROR
      Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
      For example, I want to customize this message
      Is this possible?

      How to check exact line error
      By ur
      In the autoit file, if we add multiple libraries (both internal and custom created one)
       
      When we compile the code and run the exe, some time we are getting runtime errors.
      But the line number of error is not showing the exact line number, might be it is including the line number count of libraries also.
      Can you please suggest how to get the exact error line number.
      So, it will be useful for debugging.

      subscript used on non-accessible variable
      By Rskm
      i have seen many pointing out issues related to this, i tried reading through them - still unable to solve mine.. i have a script which reads certain lines based on a search item, this is an iterative process - the ldflst_file gets updated for each iteration and the script finds the line number which has the search item. this works perfectly for few iterations, but stops in some cases abruptly with the error = 
      Subscript used on non-accessible variable $aRead^ ERROR I have verified that the search item is present in the file. what could be the reason for this code to stop in certain cases. thanks for help
      my code below (partial).. full code is in attachment
       
      local $aRead=FileReadToArray($ldflst_file)
      global $ldflst_var1=" JOINT  LOAD       FORCE(X)        FORCE(Y)        FORCE(Z)       MOMENT(X)       MOMENT(Y)       MOMENT(Z)"
       
      for $i= 0 to $ldflst_totlines    ; ldflst_totlines is total number of  lines in the file 'ldflst_file'

      7Zip Commandline - Output Error Logging Syntax?
      By Kevin Finnegan
      Hi all,
      Long time lurker and now forum poster! I'm writing a relatively simple backup script for my firm that automates the copy, compression and organization of Leaver's data on one of our secured NAS systems. I personally found the best method to do this so far was to use 7zG.exe (GUI version of 7Zip which can use command-line too) and it functions quite well!
      I would like to retrieve more info on whether any warnings or errors happen in 7Zip during the backup, but I can't quite get my head around the syntax and switches for reading out, it seems any adjustment I make to the RunWait call's string seems to break the backup or give unexpected repercussions! Hopefully its something silly I'm doing as I don't code very often.
      Here is the working version:
      ; Compress the directories one by one in the zip using the listfile.... Local $iPID = RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\bin\7zG.exe a -mx" & $compressionQuality & " -v" & $compressSplitFileSize & " -wc:\temp " _ & $backupToLocation & "\" & $userDirectory & ".7z @bin\listfile.txt -x@bin\excludefile.txt", "", @SW_SHOWDEFAULT, $STDOUT_CHILD) Ultimately I would love to switch entirely to 7za.exe (standalone) so that I can read the progress percentage, current file being uploaded and any warnings or errors could be processed and output to the AutoIT script's GUI I've created rather than jumping in and out of two applications per se.
