fix a script about unknown function name error

[Undisputed]

This code is looping through text files in the text folder, sending a POST request to the Azure Text to Speech service, and saving the generated speech as an MP3 file. On line 9, the _HttpRequest() function is used to send the text to the service, however it appears that this function has not been defined and is causing an error. To fix this, you should define the _HttpRequest() function, which is likely a custom function created for making HTTP requests.

the line 9 throws an error

 

# Declare variables
Global Const $apiKey = ""
Global Const $endpoint = ""
Global Const $textFolder = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\text\"
Global Const $audioFolder = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\audio\"
Global Const $voice = "neutral"

# Loop through text files in the text folder
For $file in FileListToArray($textFolder, "*.txt")
    # Read the text from the file
    $text = FileRead($textFolder & $file)
    
    # Send a POST request to the Azure Text to Speech service
    $request = _HttpRequest("POST", $endpoint, "Content-Type: application/ssml+xml", "X-Microsoft-OutputFormat: audio-24khz-32kbitrate-mono-mp3", "Authorization: Bearer " & $apiKey, "User-Agent: AutoIt", "<speak version='1.0' xml:lang='en-US'><voice xml:lang='en-US' xml:gender='" & $voice & "'>" & $text & "</voice></speak>")
    
    # Check for errors
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "An error occurred while sending the request to Azure Text to Speech service: " & @error)
        Exit
    EndIf
    
    # Save the generated speech as an MP3 file
    $audioFile = StringReplace($file, ".txt", ".mp3")
    FileSave($audioFolder & $audioFile, $request.Read)
    
    # Check for errors
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "An error occurred while saving the audio file: " & @error)
        Exit
    EndIf
Next

HTTP.au3 must be included.

I always tought ; is the comment charater; was not aware that one could use # as well.

[Jos]

# is considered an directive line and when the word following the # isn't recognized, the line is ignored. 

This mechanic is used by tidy/autoit3wrapper and several other utilities.

Check for errors following the FileRead.
