How to set an optional variable in a UDF?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am making a UDF, and I want the $Port variable to be optional. If it is not specified elsewise, I want $Port to be 16384. I am pretty sure this is how you do it, but I want to make sure:

Func _TCPRespondScreenshot($File, $Address, $Port = 16384)

Also, a little side-question: Why do most UDFs have variables like $nFile, $nAddress, and things like that? Does this make a difference, or is it just a way to make it so the variables $File and $Address can still be used in the function for other things?

Thanks,

SANDMAN!

Yep thats how its done, the only stipulation is that all parameters preceding the optional one must be specified.

And as to the UDF variables question, yes thats the reason as well

[u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote]

There is a document that describes the standards required for UDFs to be submitted to the formal districution here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/...F_Standards.htm

This includes a description of variable naming conventions.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
