Function Within A Function?

[..t.k.]

Hi,

I'd like to know how to put a function within a function - or any other method of doing this...!

I'm trying to make a script compatible for both WinXP and W2k.

The reason they differ, is because of a registry setting depending on the OS version.

So what I'd like to do is this:

If @OSVersion = 'WIN_2000' then
   _Win2k()
elseif @OSVersion = 'WIN_XP' then
   _Win_XP()
endif


FUNC _Win2k()
   msgbox (0, "", "Win2k" ) ;instead of msgbox, Several other functions goes here!
Endfunc ;;; Win2k

FUNC _Win_XP()
   msgbox (0, "", "WinXP" ) ;instead of msgbox, Several other functions goes here!
EndFunc ;;; WinXP

Can anyone guide me in the right direction here?

And to those of you who wasn't figured it out - I'm no programmer...!!!

..t.k.

Uhh...? What's wrong with that? You do realize MsgBox is a function right? So you are already calling a function in a function.

You don't have to put a function in a function.

If you create the 2nd function elsewhere and call it from the 1st

(like the msgbox function), it will work fine.

Aye, more examples of func in a func.

If @OSVersion = 'WIN_2000' then
  _Win2k()
elseif @OSVersion = 'WIN_XP' then
  _Win_XP()
endif


FUNC _Win2k()
tip()
  msgbox (0, "", "Win2k" );instead of msgbox, Several other functions goes here!
Endfunc;;; Win2k

FUNC _Win_XP()
tip()
  msgbox (0, "", "WinXP" );instead of msgbox, Several other functions goes here!
EndFunc;;; WinXP

func tip()
tooltip("Please click the OK button",@desktopwidth/2-60,@desktopheight/2-60)
endfunc

The only thing you can't do is define a function within another function. Outside of this limitation you can craete as many user defined functions as you need, and use them in any script where they are defined.

Thanks, pek!

I realize I've explained my problem a bit poorly.

Define a function within another function is excactly what I tried to do.

Anyway, when that's not possible - what do I do to get around that??

..t.k.

Whoops!

Didn't read scriptKitty and SlimShady's answers thoroughly enough.

Sorry, I'll stop nagging you for now and do some more testing.

Then I'll nag you some more after that....!!

..t.k.
