Updated to the latest Public (3.2.12.1) today so as to gain support for Windows 2008 OS Type and found my script no longer worked. On debuging found that StdoutRead no longer appears to work. Command I'm using follows the example code exactly as indicated below...

$return = Run("c:\tester.bat", "c:\", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD) $line = StdoutRead($return) MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)

Should also mention that I tried using @Comspec too, but made no difference. Also, developed on XP for use on Windows 2008 -32bit, but also would not work on XP -32bit.

Final point, re-installed previous autoit version and all work fine

The _GUICtrlIpAddress_Set function when run on the 3.3.1.1 beta gets the octets muddled up. 1.2.3.4 would display as 3.4.1.2.

If you want to see this in action run the example code in the help file and it displays 2.128.24.168 instead of 24.168.2.128

I have often attempted to use autoit to compile high range data. A major problem that renders Autoit almost completely worthless in this area is the limitations on math functions.

If you were to equate 1000000000000000²⁰, autoit would return 1e+300. If you were to equate 1000000000000000²¹, autoit would return 1.#INF.

Here's a few examples where this script works:

_MathPermutation(4, 3) would return the correct answer of 24. _MathPermutation(10, 5) would return the correct answer of 30240. _MathPermutation(20, 5) would return the correct answer of 1860480.

but...

_MathPermutation(21, 5) would return an incorrect answer of -203093.854699384.

I had also attempted to design a script that would calculate the fibonacci sequence of numbers and record them into data files. I noticed that before the results had even a 12 digit length, the returns were suddenly all incorrect, capped to a specific length, and alternating between negative and positive answers.

I suggest that AutoIt is made more high range math capable through the addition of an option to change the max limit. By default, every script should run the same as they do now, to avoid overruns in looping miscalculations. But the option should be added to increase this limit.
