Error line outside written code

[Funtime60]

I'm getting an error on that says there is an error at line 7000 something. There are two major problems here, A) this worked early although it was a different machine, and my code is only 61 lines long. Any clues as to what's going on?

 

(Please excuse any stupid things I wrote in here. I bet there's a lot.)

@Funtime60 the difference in lines is due to your includes, as all of those lines are counted too.

The best way to narrow down errors is through good coding practices. This would include proper error checking after every action. Below is just a short example of this inside your script:

Local $CoFPath, $CoFile, $Config
    $CoFPath = @WorkingDir & "\Settings.cfg"
    If FileExists($CoFPath) Then
        $CoFile = Fileopen($CoFPath, $FO_READ)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Unable to open " & $CoFPath & @CRLF)
    EndIf

Writing your script in this manner allows you to track down issues much more quickly, and the line number become irrelevant

Funtime60,

The include lines you have at the top of your script actually insert the entire include file at that point - so your script does not start until many, many lines later than you think.

Look in the SciTE Help file for Au3Stripper with the /MergeOnly option - that gives you a file similar to the one used to compile and allows you to determine which line is giving you the problem. My guess: the StringSplit on line #40, because you will crash if you try to access a non-existent array. So add some errorchecking to confirm you have a valid array after the function call.

Edit: Which is what he just said as well!

Thank you so much!

Quick question though, why would line 40 cause it to have a problem with while? My error says that my While is missing a Wend.

I'M AN IDIOT! Line 33 starts an external program. Said external program is also written in Autoit. Said external Autoit program may not have possessed a complete While statement at the latest compiling. Oops. Sorry for wasting your time.
