xdoc2txt

[legend]

I'm trying to convert a ahk script to autoit, but without luck,

#include <WinAPI.au3>

Local $module = _WinAPI_LoadLibrary("xd2txlib.dll")
ConsoleWrite($module & @LF)

Local $module = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "Ptr", "LoadLibrary", "Str", "xd2txlib.dll")
ConsoleWrite($module[0] & @LF)

MsgBox(0, '_xdoc2txt()  Result:', _xdoc2txt(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt"))

Func _xdoc2txt($sFileName)
    Local $sfileText = ''
    Local $fileLength = DllCall("xd2txlib.dll", "int", 'ExtractText', "int", $sFileName, 'BOOL', True, 'int', $sfileText)

    MsgBox(0, '@error', @error)
    MsgBox(0, '', VarGetType($fileLength))
    MsgBox(0, '', $sfileText)
    Return $sfileText
EndFunc   ;==>_xdoc2txt

Here's the working ahk script:

myDoc := "test.txt"
ExtractText( content, myDoc )
MsgBox % content
ExtractText( ByRef OutputVar, Filename) 
{
    static hModule := DllCall( "LoadLibrary", "Str", "xd2txlib.dll", "Ptr")
    fileLength := DllCall( "xd2txlib\ExtractText", "Str", Filename, "Int", False, "Int*", fileText)
    OutputVar := StrGet( fileText, fileLength / 2 )
}

 

 

here's the ahk script : https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=253

I have uploaded the dll, maybe someone can help?:)

xd2txlib.dll

DllCall("xd2txlib.dll", "int", 'ExtractText', "inst", $sFileName, 'BOOL', True, 'inst', $sfileText)

What kind of type is "inst"?
