Why do I get: Error: Missing right bracket ')' in expression.


Recommended Posts

I have written an AutoIt program that communicates with a RFXCOM transciever to control my home. This program runs 24/7 and occasionally I get the following message in a modal window:

AutoIt Error

Line 6102 (File "C:\homecontrol\HC.exe"):

Error: Missing right bracket ')' in expression.

OK button.

My program waits for an operator input. So I have lost control and I am not able to terminate the program and start it again. Since my program has only a few hundred lines the error must be in one of the libraries. My questions are:

What is causing this error?

How can I trap this error?

In which library is this error generated?

This are my includes:

#include 'C:\COMMGvv2\CommMG.au3'

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <file.au3>

In the code I have already an error trap:

$objErr = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc")

grasshopper,

A pretty bold statement.

I suggest you post the "few hundred lines" of code (and perhaps CommMG.au3 as the only non-standard include file you are using as well) so we can take a look.  When you post please use Code tags - see here how to do it.

I found the error. It was indeed a missing bracket. What puzzles me is that the error was located in line 200 of my program. But the error message said line 6102. Is there an explanation for that?

grasshopper,

Use Au3Stripper with this directive:

/MergeOnly 

/MO  Will produce a scriptfile as AUT2EXE includes in the Compiled EXE.
This allows you to find the proper linenumber when errors are reported.
