Allow2010 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi, i tried to do this: Func Testfunction($inifile = @ScriptDir & "test.ini") MsgbBox(0,"",$inifile) EndFunc and this gives my an Syntax error. Am i doing something wrong here, or is this just not possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It doesn't make sense. Why not this. Func Testfunction() $inifile = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini" MsgBox(0,"",$inifile) EndFunc Twitter | MSFN | VGCollect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) The error is because you're concantenating the string in the function line, It appears that Au3Check AutoIt doesn't like that.

Func Testfunction() $inifile = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini" MsgBox(0,"",$inifile) EndFunc I want to create a function that has a paramter for the ini file and this paramter should have a default value to use an ini file that is in @scriptdir.

BrewManNH Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Use the Default keyword, and then inside the function, check to see if the Default keyword was used, if it was then you set the path inside the function, because it won't work trying to set it in the function declaration statement.

OK, no problem, i just solved it that way: Func Testfunction($ini="") If $ini<>"" then $inifile=$ini else $inifile=@script & "\myini.ini" endif MsgBox(0,"",$inifile) EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matwachich Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I prefer this (your function is ugly, and you use 1 more useless variable) Func Testfunction($sIni = Default) If $sIni = Default Then $sIni = @ScriptDir & "\file.ini" MsgBox(64, "Test", $sIni) EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I prefer this (your function is ugly, and you use 1 more useless variable) Func Testfunction($sIni = Default) If $sIni = Default Then $sIni = @ScriptDir & "\file.ini" MsgBox(64, "Test", $sIni) EndFunc But in this example, isn't it redundant to check of $sIni is Default?

BrewManNH Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 No, it's not redundant, it's how you're supposed to do it. If you put anything in there other than Default, $sIni is going to equal whatever you sent the function. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
