You know, some people think SmOke_N got his nym from the charred smoking craters he likes to leave behind after a retort like that...

Thanks for the great belly laugh, though!

Hi.

I assume that you might have no clue how to start at all.

1.) read the FAQ (in this forum the topmost, sticky postings)

2.) Get the latest versions of Autoit3 and the Autoit3 customized SciTe Editor (main page, -> download)

3.) read through the help file of Autoit3

4.) for your main question the lines below should give you a start, ....

5.) ... now try hard to solve it on your own

6.) search the forum for similar questions

7.) try hard again

...

10.) When asking a question, post the code you wrote so far , put your code between an [autoit] on top and [/autoit] at the end of your code to make it easy readable (syntax highlighting)

Some simple example to give you a start:

$MyNumbers="1,39,3,5,42,6,10,2,12,17,22" 
; to write a function to concatenate user inputs use the  [b]&[/b] character: 
$MyNumbers = $MyNumbers & "," & $UserInput

; now split it into an array, as there is an easy sorting function for arrays :)
$MyArray=StringSplit($MyNumbers,",")

; then have a look at _ArraySort() function. (help file! Keep in mind that you will have to include the array.au3, see example in help)

You'll see that after your sort "42" is THE ANSWER. Now try and find your correct question

Regards, Rudi.

He should slowly have a clue by now seeing how often a question was asked. There is really no problem with asking questions but its normal to first try it yourself and learn in stead of just dumping each question in the forum assuming somebody will code it for you.

He should slowly have a clue by now seeing how often a question was asked.

Basically that's what I wanted to express. And: My answer is a TXT snippet I wrote to use it again later on for those posters with just very few posts, those, who definitely really just have trouble with their first steps

... and I didn't want to waste my time to write a 2nd one for this particular one I used the "friendly" one can you forgive me ??

There is really now problem with asking questions but its normal to first try it yourself and learn in stead of just dumping each question in the forum assuming somebody will code it for you.

Well, some questions guarantee for topic close within very few minutes. E.g. this "decompile" thing.

I still believe this should be added to the FAQ section,

1.) as an entry "No more decompile! This is fact - don't even think of asking for it!!"

2.) the workaround with FileInstall() and $CmdLine[0] as a "Password check" might be helpful for others.

Regards, Rudi.

PS:

After I got my I went through all the decompile related topics upto the date it was removed. Well, imho they were all just "IT IS REMOVED, DON'T ASK FOR IT!!". I feel this not to be really friendly ...

[Jos]

I feel this not to be really friendly ...

Its simple: The decompiler was hacked so support is stopped.

Anyway: I my humble opinion you should ensure proper backups and versioning for your source and not depend on a decompiler.

I you want you can include the source in 2 ways yourself: as you mentioned use fileinstall or use the #AutoIt3Wrapper directive which will store a copy in the programs resources.

On topic:

#include <array.au3>

$Res = Sort(10,2000,300)
_ArrayDisplay($Res)

Func Sort($1,$2,$3)
    Dim $array[3] = [$1,$2,$3]
    _ArraySort($array,1) ;<--And then a miracle happens
    Return $array
EndFunc

I my bumble opinion

Ahhh, Jos... You and your bumble opinion

[Kip]

or just without _arraysort:

MsgBox(0,"blabla",Highest(2,8,6))
  
  Func Highest($Var1, $Var2, $var3)
      $Highest = 0
      For $i = 1 to 3
          $Var = Execute("$Var"& $i)
          if $Var > $Highest Then $Highest = $Var
      Next
      
      Return $Highest
      
  EndFunc

Ehh, I'm a hijacker

BTW: Did you know that terror phobic people should always have a bomb in their luggage when traveling by plane? It's definitely much safer this way:

The propability, that there are TWO bombs on one plane is that small ....

(I know I'm pulling an old topic back up, but replying to it here seemed like the best option)

Kip's code taught me some interesting things and I expanded upon it with some input boxes for a thing I'm working on.
Right now I don't know an easy way to add an "how many columns do you have?" option, so that's still manual editing (for now).

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Call ("HighestImput")
MsgBox(0,"MsgBox",$Highest)


Func HighestImput()
    $Number1 = InputBox("Set length of columns", "Please fill in the length of the 1st column below")
    $Number2 = InputBox("Set length of columns", "Please fill in the length of the 2nd column below")
    $Number3 = InputBox("Set length of columns", "Please fill in the length of the 3rd column below")
    $Number4 = InputBox("Set length of columns", "Please fill in the length of the 4th column below")

    global $Highest = 0
    For $i = 1 to 4
        $Var = Execute("$Number"& $i)
        if $Var > $Highest Then $Highest = $Var
    Next
EndFunc

@Oniguro - Incorrect, necro-posting in an 8 year old thread is rarely, if ever, the best option. Better to start your own thread and link to this one if absolutely necessary.
