How to execute a variable as function

[supersonic]

Hello to everybody reading my post,

I'm converting our batch script (*.cmd) to AutoIt scripts.

Therefore I have to convert the following batch command sequence:

@echo off

set test=PING.EXE

%test% 192.168.0.1

Any ideas?

Greets,

Can you use the Ping function in the help file?

This is just an example script.

This is just an example script.

And? There are plenty of "examples" of batch conversion on the forum if you are just looking for a generalization on how to do it for many different functions.

I think my point was to look at the help file for standard functions before you try to recreate them all using cmd.exe.

But I'll humor you all the same:

Hm... Maybe you got me wrong...

When I parse text file value - e. g. "exampleFunc()" - returns.

This value is a name of a function.

To call this function I could use this:

If $i = "exampleFunc()" Then

$returnCode = exampleFunc()

EndIf

More useful could be a command like this:

CallAsAFunction($i)

Any ideas?

You answered your own question.

Call($i)

Edit:

Without the parenthesis in "exampleFunc()" of course... Would have to be "exampleFunc"

I tried this before but nothing happens.

Even when the function not exists, like:

$i = thisFuncNotExists

Call($i)

No error msg at all.

You have to handle the error.

$i = "thisFuncNotExists"

Call($i)

If @ERROR Then MsgBox(0,"","Function: " & $i & " does not exist")

EDIT: Good point rich

That should be a syntax error on thisFuncNotExists because it's not a proper token though. Did you mean for it to be in quotes?

You can't call a function that doesn't exist.

Local $vCallFunc
Switch Random(1, 2, 1)
    Case 1
        $vCallFunc = "One"
    Case 2
        $vCallFunc = "Two"
EndSwitch

Call($vCallFunc)

Func One()
    MsgBox(64, "Info", "You called function one")
EndFunc

Func Two()
    MsgBox(64, "Info", "You called function two")
EndFunc

Shame on me. Of course it works like you said. I got it ... Better later than never!
