map function is not working

[sksbir]

Hi

Trying this from autoit v3.3.14.5 and SCITE 3.19.102.1901.0 :

help file , page "Language Reference - Variables" , sample autoit script about maps:

Maps must be declared before use by defining their scope using the 'Global/Local/Static' keywords.
    Local $mControls[]

So is my test script : only with this local declation.

-check syntax is OK

- running script : 

test.au3" (13) : ==> Variable subscript badly formatted.:
Local $mControls[]
Local $mControls[^ ERROR
->14:51:49 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:1

any clue ?

Map only available in Beta.  But I wouldn't touch it if I were you.  I won't never (maybe not never) be implemented.  It is broken beyond repair.  Use Scripting.Dictionnary instead.

That was a quick answer. The Coyote must be close by

"eval" will be closer to my need. Thank you

Oh noes, not the Coyote

Eval is evil.

Maps could be replaced by Windows Dictionaries ("Scripting.Dictionary")
