Syntax

Does whitespace matter in AutoIt? If it doesn't, I can remove them all to reduce script size right? 
By whitespace I mean the Tab character. IN the image the red part represents the tab just to make things clear

@giangnguyen it probably took you more time to type that post that it would have to test it out. Try it and see for yourself

 

[giangnguyen]

Well, I actually  tested already and in some cases it worked, in some it did not.

So I just wanna make sure

Well, then you might have made something wrong. TABS are not changing the code execution in any way! They are 100% optional.

Thanks! I will remove all of the tabs to reduce size
I probably made a mistake somewhere, my code was HUGE (The source only was around 700kb)

You don't what to reduce the size and simply make it readable. Use Tidy to make it readable again.
You could use au3stripper to strip your script back to the essentials and the aut2exe compiler takes the whitespace out anyways so there is nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the sugestion
However, I only do this before compiling since I will be hosting the file on a limited server, and need to reduce the size as much as possible.

Anyway I will look for more ways to help optimize my script. Thanks for creating an awesome language!

,... and I am telling you that this is not needed as aut2exe strips the white spacing for you!

OK thanks
