Function basics

Hi how do I have a function that parses 2 strings 

 

I thought you would do it like this: 

Main program

Test2Add_A_Matter(ABE111, ABE118-1274576)

Function header

Func Test2Add_A_Matter(String $ClientNumber, String $MatterNumber)

but I'm getting  the below 

 

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\EliteAutomation\TestMain.au3"    
"C:\EliteAutomation\TestMain.au3" (36) : ==> Unknown function name.:
Test2Add_A_Matter(ABE111, ABE118-1274576)
Test2Add_A_Matter(^ ERROR

 

[Subz]

Func Test2Add_A_Matter($sClientNumber, $sMatterNumber)

You don't have to declare the parameters as strings.  Normally I append the variable with $s to show that it is a string, see https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Best_coding_practices for more info

Something like this

Test2Add_A_Matter('ABE111', 'ABE118-1274576')

Func Test2Add_A_Matter($ClientNumber, $MatterNumber)
  ; your code ...
EndFunc

Just tried that and got this 

 

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\EliteAutomation\TestMain.au3"    
"C:\EliteAutomation\TestMain.au3" (36) : ==> Unknown function name.:
Test2Add_A_Matter(ABE111, ABE118-1274576)
Test2Add_A_Matter(^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 5.113

Silly me forgot to use quotation marks 

Working now! Thanks

Soz missed the quotes in the calling function.
