Beamer145 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 The help files of my most recent autoit version (v3.3.12.0) list Success/Failure as function return values (eg WinWaitActive). The accompanying Scite also seems to be aware of these keywords (eg via autocompletion). However when I try to run code using these keywords I get error: Success(): undefined function. ( I do not have added the () behind the keyword, that is the "compiler" makes things up himself ) Success is not present in the F1 help index. Anyone an idea what is going on there, is this a depricated keyword with leftovers in the documentation/autocompletion ? Or is there another context where the Success keyword exists ? And can I just replace Success/Failure by True/False ? ( Sorry if the question has been asked before, searching for Success/Failure is a PITA)
JohnOne Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 They are not return values, that is telling you what is returned if a function succeeds or fails. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
guinness Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) ( Sorry if the question has been asked before, searching for Success/Failure is a PITA) I think this is the first of its kind. How long have you been using AutoIt? As I checked your previous posts and it seems you have an understanding. How could we make it clearer? As right this second I am working on the help file.

Beamer145 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) How could we make it clearer? As right this second I am working on the help file. I wouldn't worry too much about it : - It is past midnight here so I am probably not at my best - It's been a while since I have last used autoit so I wasn't familiar with the formatting of the help files anymore. I was expecting something formatted like what you would get eg when using doxygen on retval 0 Success, task completed retval -EIO I/O Failure retval -ENOMEM Not enough memory available retval -EFAULT Unkown error So that is what my tired eyes saw in the Success/Failure - The fact that Scite knows "Success" is a bit weird though (and seemed to confirm my misinterpretation) Edited August 7, 2014 by Beamer145
