[Solved] Unknown function name, function in external udf.

[AliceDemetri]

Solved: The include that I was writing had the same name as one of the ones provided with autoit so autoit was using the one it provided instead of mine. Simple name change fixes this problem.

I'm creating a script which uses a function in an external udf. When I copy the function to the original script it runs fine but when I cut and paste it into the udf it doesn't find the function name. I have included the file and check my syntax, even copy and pasted the simple filename to make sure it wasn't a type. Is there any other reason this error would show up? My script is uncompiled at the moment.

Edit: Solved

There may be several functions called from the one that you are calling from the UDF.  It is best to include the whole UDF to acquire the one function that you want.

I didn't explain well. The function was originally in my running script. I copied the function (along with the rest of the udf that was copied to the bottom of the script) and pasted it into a new script. Included that and the function is unrecognized for some reason. So I am including the whole udf just instead of being at the bottom of my script it's a separate one now. I've worked with autoit for years I'm sure it's something stupid but I can't figure out why it's not including this function.

I'd post the script but it's a child script with variables passed from a mother process and it's pretty glitchy at the moment. but basically I have two files:

Script.au3 And Include.au3.

When setup like the fallowing it works

 Script:

 
_Hello()
 
Func _Hello()
MsgBox(0,'','Hello World')
EndFunc

But when it's setup like this it doesn't:

Script:

#include <Include.au3>
 
_Hello()

Include:

Func _Hello()
MsgBox(0,'','Hello')
EndFunc

Post the code so we can take a look.

When you run the script, does it find your include file? Or do you get an error stating file can't be found?

[AliceDemetri]

No error saying it's not found thats whats confusing me but when I put "MsgBox(0,'','Test') at the top of the include it doens't go. I'm wondering if it's something to do with running from the mother script but I don't know why I start it with @AutoItExe and pass variables too it so it should run like normal right? same directory so i wouldn't think

[Rogue5099]

If your include isn't in the AutoIt Directory but instead in the directory with the script put it like this:

#include "Include.au3"

If it is in a sub directory then you can do it like this:

#include ".\Include Folder\Include.au3"

Ah N00bie mistake, UDF was the same name as one provided by Autoit. Thanks for the help though guys.
