adding 2 variables into 1 variable


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me add two variables together, I am relatively new to autoit so I am sorry in advance for a lack of information.

$Call1+$Click1 = $EndValue1

I do this and I get an error message saying that a "=" is expected instead.

The result variable needs to be on the left side of the equal sign.

$EndValue1 = $Investment1+$Profit1

Factfinder, your second example isn't adding the two together, it's concatenating them into one longer string. Not the same thing.

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.

BrewManNH, you are right about the semantic precision. I wasn't sure about the type of variables the OP is talking abut and if "adding" was used instead of concatenating two string variables. I think in C++ both adding (like in case of integer variables) and concatenating is done the same way:

$totalvar=$var1+$va2

I just wanted to mention the difference in Autoit.

But for string variables you should use the following:

If WinExists('EXPORT') = True Then
    WinActivate('EXPORT')
    $TiTle = WinGetTitle('EXPORT')
 EndIf
  ;********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle($TiTle, '')
For $i = 1 to 97
    Local $po1 = StringStripWS(ControlGetText($hWnd, '', "TEIEdit" & $i),8) ;getting the file number    
    If $po1 = "P/O" Then            
        Local $ponum = StringStripWS(ControlGetText($hWnd, '', "TEIEdit" & $i+1),8) ;getting the file number        
        Local $ponum1 = $ponum & $ponum1        
        MsgBox(0, "Result", @error & " - " & $ponum1)
    EndIf   
Next

sumandevadiga,

Declare the variables outside the loop:

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle($TiTle, '')
Local $ponum, $ponum1 = "Whatever you want"
For $i = 1 to 97
    Local $po1 = StringStripWS(ControlGetText($hWnd, '', "TEIEdit" & $i),8) ;getting the file number    
    If $po1 = "P/O" Then            
        $ponum = StringStripWS(ControlGetText($hWnd, '', "TEIEdit" & $i+1),8) ;getting the file number        
        $ponum1 = $ponum & $ponum1        
        MsgBox(0, "Result", @error & " - " & $ponum1)
    EndIf   
Next
