Using this script you can analyze the old scripts and search for keywords like:
Local Global Dim Static
 
Search only the above keywords used inside the Loop statements like:
 
For ... Next
While ... Wend
Do ... Until
For ... In ... Next
 

 

This script parses a other script and reports on incorrect variable declarations within loops.

Remark: Variable declaration is needed but it should be done outside the loop.

 
 
Basic information of this script:
 
Currently, the script provides two functions:
_Check_Local_In_Loop__File()
_Check_Local_In_Loop__Folder ()
 
Using functions: _Check_Local_In_Loop__File()
You can specify a single file *. Au3
file will be checked for using the keyword "Local" inside the Loop Statements
According to the used parameters the result will be send to SciTE console,  Clipboard, eventualy displayed using _ArrayDisplay().
 
 
Using functions: _Check_Local_In_Loop__Folder ()
You can specify the folder containing the files *. Au3
All files in the given directory will be subject to analysis like above.
 
 
The use of parameters, the internal functions:
_Check_Local_In_Loop_Check_File ($ HFile, $ fArrayDisplay = True)
additionally determines the manner of presenting the results of the work of this script.

I beg to differ. Local variables within loops are not forcibly wrong practice. Blindly chasing such construct may result in much poorer code.

Using this script you can analyze the old scripts and search for keywords like: Local Global Dim Static   Search only the above keywords used inside the Loop statements like:   For ... Next While ...

Hi Mlipok,

 

             Nice Idea. may i know from where i can download MsgBoxConstants.au3 file?

 

yes of course

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/267-autoit-v33923-beta/

HINT: you must install and in SciTE use ALT+F5 or ALT+F7

 

ps.

I'm glad you like it

Syed23,

If you do not want to install the Beta, just use Constants.au3 with 3.3.8.1. ;)

    ConsoleWrite($fTest & @CRLF)

Did you expect the result to the console.

Currently, the program displays the MsgBox and sends the results to the clipboard.
 
If you think that the option with the console is more preferred, of course, it will introduce.
The more that I'm working on further amendments.
 
 
Referring to the example:
;add any line before loop statement
While 1
    Local $fTest = True
    ConsoleWrite($fTest & @CRLF)
WEnd

I think it's quite logical that, in most cases, the script does not begin by calling the loop.

 

edit:

'Please don't use spoiler tags, just upload the file instead"

Ok I change this at the next opportunity / amendment.

Who is to say what's logical about just jumping straight to a loop? There's nothing to prevent it, or anything that would say it's wrong to do it. Your script should recognize this.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

I think I need clearer instructions on how to use then, because I just tried with your second spoiler tag code and it produced a message box with no data and this in the console. The clipboard was also empty. I chose the desktop where my test Au3 Script from above was present.

_Remove_Func_EndFunc $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_Func_Local $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_While_Wend $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_DO_UNTIL $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_For_Next $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False

_Remove_Func_EndFunc $fReturn_IsNotComplex = True
_Remove_Func_Local $fReturn_IsNotComplex = True
_Remove_While_Wend $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_DO_UNTIL $fReturn_IsNotComplex = True
_Remove_For_Next $fReturn_IsNotComplex = True

_Remove_Func_EndFunc $fReturn_IsNotComplex = True
_Remove_Func_Local $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_While_Wend $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_DO_UNTIL $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_For_Next $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False

_Remove_Func_EndFunc $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_Func_Local $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_While_Wend $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_DO_UNTIL $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_For_Next $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False

_Remove_Func_EndFunc $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_Func_Local $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_While_Wend $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_DO_UNTIL $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False
_Remove_For_Next $fReturn_IsNotComplex = False

Perhaps in your first post you should be concise as to what this analyzer does, maybe a small example of what it's expected to report to the user.

Erroneous declarations are really just the tip of the iceberg. People don't always agree on what is, or isn't, good coding practice. I'm not dismissing your idea because it may have potential in terms of teaching AutoIt basics.

I also see the logic of your example: I can't think of any reason why someone would want to decalre a variable* within a loop other than to test the interpreter in some way. A  distinction should be made between that which is clearly wrong and that which is mostly a matter of opinion.

* the same variable

I always considered Tidy a best coding practice analyzer.
