ChooseFileFolder.au3 abends

[c.haslam]

This is Melba23's ChooseFileFolder.au3.

My test script is:

#include "ChooseFileFolder.au3"
Global $gInPath = @MyDocumentsDir & "\My Scans\"
Local $ret = _CFF_Choose("Choose TIF files to be deleted", 300, 500, -1, -1, $gInPath, "*.tif", 1)
MsgBox(0,"",$ret)

It runs OK.

This is an excerpt from a much longer script.

The much longer script, which has the same call to _CFF_Choose(), abends at line 101 of File.au3:

"F:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\File.au3" (101) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
Func _FileListToArrayRec($sInitialPath, $sMask = "*", $iReturn = 0, $iRecur = 0, $iSort = 0, $iReturnPath = 1)
^ ERROR

Suggestions?

c.haslam,

From those snippets it is impossible to offer any constructive comment - as that looks like an Au3Check error there is every chance that the actual error is elsewhere.  If you let me see the script that causes the problem I will try and locate it.

I tried this variant of the test code:

Global $gInPath = @MyDocumentsDir & "\My Scans\"
Local $ret = _CFF_Choose("Choose TIF files to be deleted", 300, 500, -1, -1, $gInPath, "*.tif", 1)
MsgBox(0,"",$ret)
#include "ChooseFileFolder.au3"

This abended with:

"F:\AutoIt scripts\ChooseFileFolder.au3" (277) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
If IsArray($g_aCFF_PreCheck) Then
If IsArray(^ ERROR

but your code does define $g_aCFF_PreCheck. Strange!

You are welcome to my script. Should I send it to you by PM, or post it here?

c.haslam,

That snippet fails because the #include directive appears in the code after the call to the function, so at the time the function is called the variable has not been declared. All include files should be at the top of the script so that the various declarations are in place before the UDF functions are first called. You need to remember that #include just inserts the whole of the included file at that point of the main script - and AutoIt requires variables to be declared before they are used - so placing the #include line later in the script risks having some required variable undeclared when first encountered.

I would now hazard a guess that the same thing occurs in the other script.

Unfortunately, your guess is incorrect: all #includes are at the top of my script:

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 0) ; match from the start
#include "Constants.au3"
#include "File.au3"
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include "ChooseFileFolder.au3"

I verified that I am using the latest version of ChooseFileFolder.au3 by downloading and unzipping the version pointed to by your posting footer. The size and date-time are the same as on my PC.

Neither Constants.au3 nor File.au3 are in my script directory. Neither are there, so these files are the ones supplied with AutoIt.

Should I send my script to you by PM, or post it here?

c.haslam,

If you wish to keep it confidential, by all means send it by PM - if not then just post it.

One never knows these days what might need to be confidential so I will PM it.
