It's broken: "#include <string.au3>"

[blitzer99]

I have just installed the latest SciTe4AutoIt full update dated 30 August and have a problem with the "#include <string.au3>" statement.

Now running a syntax check on code that has "#include <string.au3>" gives the following error:

>Running AU3Check...D:\Program files\AutoIt3\SciTe\Defs\Unstable\Au3Check\au3check.dat
D:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\string.au3(16,59) : ERROR: $strHex already declared as parameter

It always worked without error on the previous version 1.64 of SciTe4AutoIt.

Does anyone know how this problem can be fixed?

I have the latest beta 3.1.1.73 and latest SciTe and tried all of the examples and don't get those error's from Au3Check.

The problem appears to be with the UDF "_StringEncrypt ()". It's part of "string.au3" included with AutoIt3.

If this UDF is not called by anyone using "#include <string.au3>" in their AutoIt3 script then the error won't be apparent.

Anyone calling "_StringEncrypt ()" will observe this problem on upgrading. It appears there is a change to the code of this UDF required to make it work again.

Can someone in the know please advise?

what beta version are you running?

if the latest then I suggest looking at the help and example for the "_StringEncrypt function, I tried the example for that one and it worked fine, no errors.

I am using SciTe 1.66 with AutoIt 3.1.1.

I see the version of string.au3 I am using is dated 18 January 2005 which I received (as far as I can recall) with AutoIt 3.1.1.

Is there a later version of string.au3 available that maybe fixes this problem?

I ran the production (3.1.1) version and had no problems.

Beta is currently at 3.1.1.73 String.au3 dated 7/8/05.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded and installed 3.1.1.73 beta. It installed to a "beta" folder and updated the string.au3 file in my "Include" folder. No further problem.

Thanks again.
