please add this lines to each of your file:
 

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=Y
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7

and check what will happen when you try to use Au3Check by pressing CTRL+F5 in SciTe4AutoIt .

ps.
Currently there are still few bugs.... and warnings.

No, no, it means that you still have bad habits and you do things in the wrong way.
Try a little more to fight with this.

I looked at the code and the variable is used. How can I fix this ? Thanks @mLipok.

It's not used correctly, the Ternary operator doesn't return a value, so assigning it to one is pointless. Remove all variable references used with the Ternary operator anywhere you see something like this:

$bQuestion = IsArray($aEmailAdress)     ?   _TableInsert($aTable, $aEmailAdress[0])         :   _TableInsert($aTable, "")

Also remove the variable declaration because $bQuestion isn't used anywhere that it is needed.

 

Second, don't declare variables conditionally like this:

If IsArray($sRemoveLabelIds) Then
        Local $iUbound = UBound($sRemoveLabelIds)

Declare the variable, then assign something to it inside the If statements. Don't declare it twice depending on whether the If statement is valid

ok, got it. Use a string, like: Local $sRecipient = "personTo@some.com" & @LF & "Bcc: personBcc@another.com" and that is it =)

error: Statement cannot be just an expression.

I have no idea why the ternary is needed or how to go about it  =/
Would you recode that line ?, thanks @BrewManNH.

Use if/then/else

Great work... However, all line breaks are missing in the text body... What am I doing wrong?

Welcome and nice to see you think we are clairvoyant.

Seriously, post what you are trying so we can see what you are doing. Might have something to do with an HTMLbody but that is guessing.

Many thanks for your quick reply and sorry, for being unclear.

I am using FileRead to get text (with linebreaks) from a .txt file (ANSI) to a variable. The text should then be automatically emailed using your UDF. When I output the variable in the console all works fine. If I add it as text body ($sBody) and email it, the text is all correct, however all line and paragraph breaks are missing? Am I missing something?               

Many thanks for your support... 

[Jos]

Still don't see any script so post what you have that isn't working.

[mBild]

$hFile = Fileopen($a_FileList[1][0], $FO_ANSI)
$FileContent = FileRead($hFile)
FileClose($hFile)

 

ConsoleWrite($FileContent)

--> All correct with line and paragraph breaks

 

 

; Function(s):      gmailUsersMessagesSend() -> example usage

Local $sBody = $FileContent & @CRLF 

Local $sBodyHtml = Default
Local $sAttachment = Default

---> Email is send without line and paragraph breaks

 

 

Many thanks for your help!!!

 

[mLipok]

just guessing...

Do you send $sBody or $sBodyHtml ?

 

[mBild]

Thanks for the reply.

I send $sBody, but also with $sBodyHtml there are no line and paragraph breaks in the email body?

 

Maybe I am missing something?

[Jos]

Well, I am still not seeing any runable script so have no idea as I can't test unless I am going to spend time to code it myself.
