conditional global dim statement

[Zomp]

Suppose I have a script that I can launch in two modes:

1. without parameters, so that is starts in a GUI-driven mode;

2. with a parameter, so that it starts in batch mode.

Briefly, the GUI-mode offers the newbie user a graphical interface to specify the parameters that a veteran user can write directly on a command line prompt.

Suppose that for the GUI-driven mode I have needed to make several global dims, which are not needed in the batch mode.

Is it possible to make the global statements conditional? That is, to write something similar to what follows:

if $cmdline[0]>0 then
     do nothing;
else
     global $VarA1, $VarA2, and so on
endif

I think it is possible, because conditional includes are possible too.

Just test it.

You can make declarations conditional but includes are not conditional because they have to be included before any of the script is executed.

Can you make an example? I do not know the syntax. Many thanks for your patience.

Your example will do just fine !

what martin means by not being able to have conditional includes is this:

if $var=1 then
#include<udf1.au3>
else
#include<udf2.au3>
endif

both udf1 and udf2 are included... before any of the code is executed

Yes.

@zomp.

You only need to try what you have posted and you will find the answer to you rquestion even faster than the replies on this forum!

if 2 = 3 then
 Global $var1 = 3
endif

$var1 += 2
[code]

Or any way you like
[code]
Global $var1
If $CmdLine[0] = 0 then 
    $var1 = SetVariableWithGui()
else
    $var1 = $CmdLine[1]
endif

.
..
Func SetVariableWithGui()
    Local $gui = Guicreate(......
    Local $input1 = GuiCtrlCreateInput(
   ;blah

   ;blah

    return GuiCtrlRead($input2)
endfunc
