Which Way Is Better

[Hellfire]

$text = "hi"
Msgbox(0,"",$text)

or

Msgbox(0,"","hi")

Which way is better?

it really depends upon your needs...

you could use a variable because you want to use the same meesage box for different messages

otherwise, might as well make it "1" line

HI,

I would do in one line, but when you use the variable more than once it makes sense doing it that way, beacuse if the text changes, you can do it on one place.

So long,

as you get more experience, you will likely start writing a collection of UDFs that mirror the way you think and the things you want msgbox() to do for you often -- such that you will rarely, if ever, call MsgBox() directly. For example, an Error Routine might look like the following...

Func _FatalError($Title ="Fatal Error",$Desc="A Fatal Error Has Occurred",$ExitCode = -99,$TimeOut = 0)
  MsgBox(0,$Title,$Desc,$TimeOut)
  Exit $ExitCode
EndFunc

Generates a MsgBox and Exits with $ExitCode with just _FatalError()

yeah as valuater said, the only place i really use variables is if im using the same thing alot hence stuff with files , but other then that if your doing a simple messagebox like that just do "hi" not the variable
