Report Help File Issues Here

[guinness]

We can't, but Jon can, which is why I say it will be fixed in the next version of AutoIt.

[nitekram]

sorry, just thought I read that the help file is out before the version...just giving you a hard time

[guinness]

No,I said the new help file will surface when the new version of AutoIt is released.

[AZJIO]

The help file has to be such that it was impossible to carp. In order to effectively correct, it is necessary that he frequently updated.

[Mat]

Small stumbling block, and since I don't have a computer at the moment I can't fix it myself.

StringInStr when using negative occurances, the `start` argument is actually the last character you want to search in the string, and the `count` is the number of characters from start working backwards. Example:

; Using normal positive occurences
MsgBox(0, Default, StringInStr("This is a nice test", " ", 2, 1, 1, 11))

; The same as above, but find the last occurence (Doesn't work)
MsgBox(0, Default, StringInStr("This is a nice test", " ", 2, -1, 1, 11))

; The way to make it work
MsgBox(0, Default, StringInStr("This is a nice test", " ", 2, -1, 11, 11))

Not really an AutoIt bug, but since this code was buried deep in lots of other code it took me a while to find out what I had done wrong.

Might also be worth making a not whenever string character indexes are concerned, they are 1 based. StringMid and a few others already mention it, but there are others that don't.

$ifTopmost = IniRead($Ini, 'Setting', 'Topmost', True)

It is necessary to point out that the parameter "default" is converted to a string if it is not so.

in 

_GUICtrlEdit_Scroll

there is

Local $sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" & $Wow64 & "\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\include\changelog.txt"

in my system

$sFile = C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\changelog.txt

 

but that file not exist

include dir is correct

Check the version 3.3.9.4. Those errors that you find fixed a year ago.

[guinness]

Confirmed as fixed:

 

Revision: 6595
Author: guinness
Date: 30 December 2011 22:31:48
Message:
Fixed: Reference to changelog.txt when it should be _ReadMe_.txt and variable naming.

[mLipok]

thanks

[guinness]

The fix should have appeared in at least v3.3.9.0. Best to check the current beta file just in case.

[mLipok]

ok

I be remeber that

[guinness]

No problem, no harm done.

Regarding the treatment of Strings as Numbers by the comparison operators:

User AZJIO >brought this up last year, but I still think this is an issue. While the documentatoin of Datatypes is clear that Strings are converted to Numbers where a Number is expected, it is not clear that the comparison operators convert a String to a Number if the operands are of mixed type. I think the documentation should make this clear, since it seems to be a recurring confusion.

In other words, when comparing "abc" = 1, it is not documented that this expression "expects" numbers. I don't feel that it would be unreasonable for one to believe that this expression may convert 1 to "1" instead of converting "abc" to 0.

Perhaps the documentation for the comparison operators might state something along the lines of:

Comparison operators (case insensitive if used with strings except for ==. When operands are of mixed types, strings will treated as numbers, except for ==.) 

Thank you,

mwhidden

MouseWheel
Moves the mouse wheel up or down. NT/2000/XP ONLY.
This function only works on NT, 2000, XP and later operating systems.

In heading it is necessary? For Win7 is not working?

In other words, when comparing "abc" = 1, it is not documented that this expression "expects" numbers. I don't feel that it would be unreasonable for one to believe that this expression may convert 1 to "1" instead of converting "abc" to 0.

It actually would be completely unreasonable and inconsistent.

Think twice. Simple string comparison of numbers doesn't work the way you expect it to work:

"123" is less than "5"

"45" is not equal to "045" and none is the same as "45 "

and so on.

Doing like you advise would make collation (sorting) impossible and provide us with a doubly infinite set of distincts elements of actual identical face value, i.e. "", "0", "00", "000", ... just for unsigned integers.

The comparison operators "expect" nothing, contrary to what you believe. They need to convert mixed-type operands to the only possible type for which comparison makes sense.

@mwhidden

Don't you feel a little bit egocentric to think that there is an issue or at least the doc is not clear on something fundamental to AutoIt in spite of thousands users per year? (plus you have been answered in the GHAS forum section).

PS: It's not the place to talk about it therefore I'm not going to answer if you reply (rhetorical question)

_SoundPos
[, $iMode = 1]
1 = (by default) hh:mm:ss where h = hours, m = minutes and s = seconds

_SoundPlay
[, $iWait = 0]
 
1 = wait until sound has finished
0 = continue script while sound is playing (default)

not the correct order of the parameters

_SoundLength
[, $iMode = 1]
1 = (by default) hh:mm:ss where h = hours, m = minutes and s = seconds

TCPRecv
Forces the function to return binary data if set to 1 (default is 0, and will auto detect between binary/string).

flag
0 - (Default) will auto detect between binary/string
1 - return binary data


GUICtrlSetImage
for a TreeViewItem the icon size : 2 = selected, 4 for non-selected item.

0 = small (16x16)
1 = (by default) normal (32x32)
for TreeViewItem it is a status icon :
2 = icon for the selected item
4 = icon for non-selected item.

FileSetAttrib, FileSetTime
If this is set to 1, then directories are recursed into. Default is 0 (no recursion).

flag recurse
0 - (by default) no recursion
1 - directories are recursed into
 
UDPRecv
Forces the function to return receive from IP/port if set to 2. Results are returned in an Array :
[0] data
[1] from IP
[2] from Port

Many parameters are read by a column easier

1 = (by default) - Use this design as standard. You can even automatically highlight these values with a regular expression

 

Window Titles and Text (Advanced), Controls
X Y W H - The position and size of a window

ControlGetText("Calc", "", "[CLASS:Button; X:54; Y:43; W:63; H:34]")

WinGetTitle("[CLASS:My Class; X:50; Y:40; W:300; H:250]")

You can add an example because I spent a whole day trying to guess how it works.

If you are comparing different data types without explicitly converting one or more of them, you should expect strange results.

[AZJIO]

Maybe we should point out that the correct window style creates the client area of the specified size?
