ffsidfk Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 This is... odd... #NoTrayIcon #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> CheckScreenSaver() func CheckScreenSaver() Local $TmpHKCUScrnSvrPath = "C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr" Local $OrigHKCUScrnSvrPath = RegRead("HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop","SCRNSAVE.EXE") MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ScrnSave Change", $OrigHKCUScrnSvrPath & @CRLF & $TmpHKCUScrnSvrPath) If Not $OrigHKCUScrnSvrPath = $TmpHKCUScrnSvrPath Then RegWrite("HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop","SCRNSAVE.EXE", "REG_SZ", "C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr") MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ScrnSave Change", "Path Changed") Else MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ScrnSave Change", "Paths are equal") EndIf EndFunc ;==>CheckScreenSaver $OrigHKCUScrnScrPath is C:\Windows\System32\ssText3d.scr (This is verified in the first MsgBox) Yet, the statement is being evaluated as True/Equal/What have you. The regwrite isn't happening and I'm getting the 'Paths are equal' MsgBox. I've also tried double == ( If Not $OrigHKCUScrnSvrPath == $TmpHKCUScrnSvrPath Then). Same result.

jchd Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You're mixing operators' priority wrong: in If Not XXX = YYY ... Not is evaluated first as in If (Not XXX) = YYY ...

It's also not really defined on the help pages as far as I could see. :-( I checked If and If... Else... EndIf Is there a special syntax for using the other operators? Suchas: If $var1 <> "" and $var2 <> "1" Then Do those need to be wrapped in brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 In help, read Language Reference - Operators to find the precedence applied. After reading the above doc, you'll find that the answer is no ( Do those need to be wrapped in brackets? ). BTW, about " Thats not the type of logic I'm used to " which logic (meaning programing language) would set NOT priority below anything else?

ffsidfk Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks for the pointer to the help section!! The reason I asked the latter is because If $var1 <> "" and $var2 <> "1" Then wasn't evaluating as expected, but If not ($var1 = "") and $var2 <> "1" Then does. I have no idea if any programming language sets NOT priority below anything else. It seems like that structure has worked for me in the past. That's not to say that its correct, it's just never failed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my experience nor how what AutoIt actually behaves: Local $a = ["", "1", "2"] For $var1 In $a For $var2 In $a ConsoleWrite('$var1 = "' & $var1 & '", $var2 = "' & $var2 & '"' & @TAB & _ 'conditions are ' & (($var1 <> "" and $var2 <> "1") = (not ($var1 = "") and $var2 <> "1") ? '' : 'not ') & 'equivalent' & @LF) Next Next This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
