Autoit Standard Library

[jlandes]

I have submitted the following functions to Jon to include in the standard library. Please test these and let me know what you think. In addition, please provide feedback on variable naming conventions, coding style, return and @error codes, etc. I think it would be beneficial to everyone to be sure that everything for the library is standardized, just like the in-built commands. Here's the list:

#include <Date.au3>

_DateDayOfWeek - Returns the name of the weekday, based on the specified day.

_DateIsLeapYear - Returns 1 if the specified year falls on a leap year and returns 0 if it does not.

_DateLastWeekdayNum - Returns previous weekday number, based on the specified day of the week.

_DateLastMonthNum - Returns previous month number, based on the specified month.

_DateLastMonthYear - Returns previous month's year, based on the specified month and year.

_DateMonthOfYear - Returns the name of the month, based on the specified month.

_DateNextWeekdayNum - Returns next weekday number, based on the specified day of the week.

_DateNextMonthNum - Returns next month number, based on the specified month.

_DateNextMonthYear - Returns next month's year, based on the specified month and year.

#include <File.au3>

_FileAppend - Appends the specified text to a file.

_FileCreate - Creates or zero's out the length of the file specified.

_FileReadToArray - Reads the specified file into an array.

_FileWriteLog - Writes the specified text to a log file.

#include <String.au3>

_StringRepeat - Repeats a string a specified number of times.

_StringReverse - Reverses the contents of the specified string.

I'll be adding more shortly, once I've got some feedback on how things look and test out so far. Thanks.

The list looks great! Are these available yet, or do we have to wait for Jon's next AutoIt release?

If I could offer some ideas for additional functions:

_StringCount -- Counts the occurrence of a substring within a string.

_StringInStrLast -- like InStr but returns index of last occurrence

_FileFindTally -- Counts number of files that match the search pattern (trids suggested it)

_DirCopy -- copy a directory

_DirMove -- move a directory

Edit: Look at trid's post here for FileFindTally

Also, you may want to consider (if you haven't already) using Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'copy /?') for _Dir functions.

I'll see what I can do. Thanks.
