Help: need to understand how AutoIt3.Lua works

[rojer_31]

Hello all,

First let me tell me my intention:

I want to create something for php (atleast in terms of code-completion) as you have done with scite4autoit3.

I've gone through the docs of lua and read through AutoIt3.Lua. I have found some parts of the code quite incomprehensible. Here is one:

scite.Open(props["FilePath"] .. "\nmenucommand:" .. n)

I've googled, gone through the iface file, and tried everything else I know but can't understand what nmenucommand is.

Can anyone please explain what it is ?

Thank you

It's "\n" and then "menucommand". It means sends the filename of the currently active buffer followed by a newline and then send the "menucommand" command with the parameter n.

:"> That seems to be a silly question now!

Okay I have a couple more dumb qusetions:

1. There are 2 functions:

function OnChar© and

function OOOnChar©

which seem similar in many ways. What is the purpose of this seeming duplication?

2. It is pretty obvious, that what you have is well tested code (in lua). If I base my own script on this source, are there any implications (apart from being gpl)? Your comments on this would be valuable..

Warm Regards,

1. Function OOOnchar() is an obsolete Onchar() version which i have forgotten to remove after adding the new Onchar() function.

2. As far as I am concerned: everything included can be use to create your own LUA functions.

If I cared what people did with my code, I wouldn't of allowed JdeB to put it in a public distribution. Do as you wish.

Okay, Thank you.
