calling another function within a function

gcue · May 20, 2009

hello world.

functionA calls functionB

functionA (builds an array which is later refered to in functionB and functionC)

i have this working in another function but not in the one im currently working on.

"FunctionA" (being called on by the other two funnctions - array built that's built and later refered to is $avout)

Func Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray()

    Local $aText[3] = ["Dashboard", @TAB & "Status", @TAB & @TAB & "Building Altiris Array"]
    Local $aParts[3] = [200, 175, -1]
    $dSTATUS = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($dGUI, $aParts, $aText)

    ; Read file in binary mode
    $hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 16)
    $binFileData = FileRead($hFile)
    FileClose($hFile)

    ; Change nulls
    $sFileData = BinaryToString($binFileData, 1)
    $sFileData = StringReplace($sFileData, Chr(0), "<null>")

    ; Split lines
    $avLines = StringSplit($sFileData, @CRLF, 1)

    Global $avOut[$avLines[0] + 1][2] = [[$avLines[0], ""]]; Start out with minimum two columns

    ; First loop - for each row
    For $n = 1 To $avLines[0]
        ; Split the line
        $avSplit = StringSplit($avLines[$n], $DELIM)

        ; Test if more columns are needed
        If $avSplit[0] > UBound($avOut, 2) Then ReDim $avOut[$avLines[0] + 1][$avSplit[0]]

        ; Second loop for each column
        For $x = 1 To $avSplit[0]
            $avOut[$n][$x - 1] = $avSplit[$x]
        Next
    Next

Easy just change to KÕRPÝXY

gcue · May 20, 2009

oops! the edit caused that

TurionAltec · May 20, 2009

Define NOT WORKING

Error messages, unexpected functioning? Is there a line it's getting hung up on?

One thing I can think of is $altiris being declared globally somewhere?

It might not hurt to declare all your global variables at the start of your main script if you're not already.

gcue · May 20, 2009

i am declaring it.. (sorry entire script is over 17k lines long)

not working.. meaning that the "functionA" doesnt seem to be running bc the array isnt being built..

TurionAltec · May 20, 2009

Which one's "FunctionA" or is that another function in your 17k lines?

I thought Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray() was Function B (because it build an array)?

>>"functionA" doesnt seem to be running bc the array isnt being built

Rather than relying on it not running because the array isn't being built, if you pop a:

msgbox(0,"Function A", "Function A has started")

Do you get a msgbox?

gcue · May 20, 2009

functionA is the one that builds the array (Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray() )

the other functions call it one of them works the other one doesnt.

ya i put in a msgbox, doesnt seem like its being built

TurionAltec · May 20, 2009

Function A builds arrays? But you said above:

functionB (builds an array which is later refered to in functionA)

Maybe you should just talk in actual function names rather than assigning them random variables as names.

By "the other function" that doesn't work I'm guessing you mean IH_Scan_Subnet()?

If $altiris = False Then
        GUICtrlSetData($status, "Building Altiris Array")
        Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray()
    EndIf

Does the GUI status indicate that it's building the array? Does this do anything?

msgbox(0,"$altiris",$altiris)
    consolewrite($altiris&@CRLF)
    If $altiris = False Then
        GUICtrlSetData($status, "Building Altiris Array")
        Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray()
    EndIf

gcue · May 20, 2009

oops sorry you're right i mixed up functionA and functionB (made correction in initial post)

yes $altiris at that point is false

If $altiris = False Then

msgbox(0,"$altiris",$altiris)

GUICtrlSetData($status, "Building Altiris Array")

Dashboard_AltirisBuildArray()

EndIf

You need to learn to implement debugging aids into your functions. Any place in your function where something can fail insert "Return SetError(X,0,0)" where X starts at 1.

So you would have this:

Something()
Switch @ERROR
Case 1
ConsoleWrite("ERROR: DoStuff" & @CRLF)
Case 2
 ConsoleWrite("ERROR: DoMoreStuff" & @CRLF)
Case 3
 ConsoleWrite("ERROR: DoEvenMoreStuff" & @CRLF)
EndSwitch

Func Something()
$result1 = DoStuff()
If $result = "" Then Return SetError(1,0,0)

$result2 = DoMoreStuff()
 If $result2 = "" Then Return SetError(2,0,0)

$result3 = DoEvenMoreStuff()
  If $result3 = "" Then Return SetError(3,0,0)
EndFunc

Not rocket science.
