Sub-dividing Code

[Shayne]

Hi,

In the past I have subdivided code in my script.

That is, I have had my entire code divided into 'titled' sections so that I could simply 'call' a particular section if conditions are met.

My problem now is that I've not written much for a while and I can't remember the special character or method required when you 'title' a section of code.

I am not talking about commenting which uses the semicolon.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about functions?

part1()
part2()

func part1()
   msgbox(0,"","This is part1")
endfunc

func part2()
   msgbox(0,"","This is part2")
endfunc

No I'm not talking about functions, although I have achieved what I needed to do using the function syntax. I'm still curious though of what the syntax was for my original question. I think the 'sub sections' of code are identified with Labels? You would then call the corresponding Label in your code to jump to different sections.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe #Include is what you are looking for?

Hmm, perhaps you are thinking of DOS batch script labels

if %var% = 1 goto sub1
if %var% = 2 goto sub2
:sub1
echo Var was equal to 1
goto end
:sub2
echo Var was equal to 2
goto end

:end
echo this is the end

but there is nothing like that in AutoIt. It's a crappy way to do things in any case. You're much better off with functions and loops.

@ lod3n:

Yes, I think you may be right. That was what I was thinking of. I have used a couple of functions anyway and they do seem to be quite simple to set up.

Thanks for your help.
