drego Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Greetings, I used to use this function a lot and never had any problems with it. I even recently added it to my UDF but now upon retesting it I get this error during runtime (No compile errors): Error: Error parsing function call. Here is the function. It is for deleting IE and Flash cookies from the system: #Include <File.au3> #include <Array.au3> Func _ClearCookies() ShellExecuteWait("RunDll32.exe","InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2") $cookieFolders = _FileListToArray(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects","*",2) If @error Then Return "nonetorm" Else _ArrayDelete($cookieFolders,0) For $i = 0 To UBound($cookieFolders) -1 $siteFolders = _FileListToArray(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\"&$cookieFolders[$i],"*",2) If $i = 0 Then _ArrayDelete($siteFolders,0) EndIf For $j = 0 To UBound($siteFolders) -1 DirRemove(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\"&$cookieFolders[$i]&"\"&$siteFolders[$j],1) Next Next EndIf Return "cookiesremoved" EndFunc Thank you to anyone who can help.

water Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Most of the time this error is caused by mismatching quotes.

drego Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Most of the time this error is caused by mismatching quotes. I have commented out the flash cookies code and only left the line: ShellExecuteWait("RunDll32.exe","InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2") Which is what is causing the problem. When I run the RunDLL32.exe from powershell or CMD with that argument it works fine. Edited January 21, 2015 by drego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Just to simplify your script a bit: Func _ClearCookies() ShellExecuteWait("RunDll32.exe","InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2") $cookieFolders = _FileListToArray(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects","*",2) If @error Then Return "nonetorm" Else For $i = 1 To UBound($cookieFolders) -1 $siteFolders = _FileListToArray(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\"&$cookieFolders[$i],"*",2) For $j = 1 To UBound($siteFolders) -1 DirRemove(@AppDataDir&"\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\"&$cookieFolders[$i]&"\"&$siteFolders[$j],1) Next Next EndIf Return "cookiesremoved" EndFunc Your second array was only deleting the 'counter' element on your first itteration through i, but it always will be there an each loop...switched to just skip it.

drego Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just did another test, commenting out the Shell line and leaving the flash cookie code. Both seem to crash the script with the same error. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll use that but now I have a really strange problem. I commented EVERYTHING out of that function and I still get the same error when calling it.
