What is and how to use .dll in AutoIt?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! How are you? Hope you're fine :)
I was thinking about .dll files and, I always wanted to know what they are and how to use them in AutoIt.
If someone would like to explain it to me, even with a practice example, I'd be very very happy! Thanks :D

The example is pretty straight forward, what more do you need or what are you not understanding? You did actually read through it completely I am assuming.

Hey @JLogan3o13!
Yes, I read it, but what I was looking for is something like a "tutorial" on the creation of .dll through 

 

DllStructCreate()

@RTFC: the "Definition" link doesn't work :) 

@JLogan3o13
What are they used for? That's what I'd like to learn :) Thanks :)

Guess the definition was intended to point to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library

They being DLL?  I am sure you can find that answer yourself!

@Jos
Hey Jos, I'm trying to insert a text that contains quotes in a SQLite database, and I don't know how to do.
I tried with 
 

Local $sString = "1P6AV2104'0HA04'0AA0"
StringReplace($sString, "'", "''")

but I didn't managed to, obtaining this error:
 

--> Error:    unrecognized token: "0HA04"

How can I manage to solve this problem? Thanks :)

This has little to do with DLLs. Create a new thread for that.

This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.
Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe here
RegExp tutorial: enough to get started
PCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

SQLitespeed is another feature-rich premier SQLite manager (includes import/export). Well worth a try.
SQLite Expert (freeware Personal Edition or payware Pro version) is a very useful SQLite database manager.
An excellent eBook covering almost every aspect of SQLite3: a must-read for anyone doing serious work.
SQL tutorial (covers "generic" SQL, but most of it applies to SQLite as well)
A work-in-progress SQLite3 tutorial. Don't miss other LxyzTHW pages!
SQLite official website with full documentation (may be newer than the SQLite library that comes standard with AutoIt)

Well, I amended my initial Wikipedia reflex post when I actually read the article, which was not aimed at entry-level coders. To my surprise, the msdn one (link restored now) proved more accessible reading, but I accidentally appended the link ref instead of replacing the Wikipedia one, because I'm sloppy, :whistle::idiot: and didn't check that the link actually worked, because I'm lazier than a comatose sloth. :yawn:
