Calling a function with omitting some of its parameters, how?

[Thomymaster]

Hi

 

I wrote some functions which, if the require parameters, always have default values

Func _Example($sName,$sParam="",$bSilent=FALSE)
...
EndFunc

When i call the UDF and i only want the third parameter to be set (and not the second one, it goes to its default value) the following fails:

_Example("Test",,TRUE)

whereas this suceeds

_Example("Test","Param1",TRUE)

Is there a way in AutoIT to make the above work, so that if i completely omit a parameter, its taken from its default value in the function header?

 

Cheers Thomy

_Example("Test", "", True)

Edit:

Just send the default parameter data.

Use "Default" Keyword

_Example("Data",Default,True)

it`s easier.

Use "Default" Keyword

_Example("Data",Default,True)

it`s easier.

Be careful with that... It's not used how you think it is in udf's.

Run this:

_Example("name", Default, True)
Func _Example($sName,$sParam="",$bSilent=FALSE)
    ConsoleWrite($sParam & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Which is why I said to do it how I had it ...

OK thanks.

And for what exactly is the "Default" keyword good?

I mean i can always set the default parameters in the UDF header like:

Func _test($iNum=1,$sString="Test")

I wouldn't unless you're validating for the default keyword inside the function, and if it exists, changing the var to the default param string again, total waste of time unless you're making public functions IMO... test for yourself.

_test(Default, Default)
Func _test($iNum=1,$sString="Test")
    ConsoleWrite($sString & @CRLF)
EndFunc

OK, thanks a lot for the explanation
