File Name: AutoIt v3.3.9.6 Beta File Submitter: Jon File Submitted: 10 Jul 2013 File Category: Beta Other Downloads Most of the changes to the main AutoIt code by trancexx. Most of the UDF and helpfile changes by the MVPs, Thanks Note: Although the feature set is roughly correct, things may be added or removed so please treat this very much as a work in progress. There are constant "discussions" ongoing in the MVP forum about the best way to do things 3.3.9.6 (10 July, 2013) (Beta) AutoIt: - Added: Interpreter accepts 64bit hex numbers. - Added: Keyword Null. - Added #488: Third parameter for ObjGet() function to specify object instance. - Added: Compound assignment operators for object properties. - Added #1191: Explicit size of arrays optional for explicit initialization. - Added: Array access on expression: StringSplit("a,b", ",")[1] - Added: Dot access on expression: ObjCreate("Shell.Application").GetSystemInformation("DirectoryServiceAvailable") - Added: Empty arrays. - Added: Functions are now first class objects which means variables can "point" to them and the function can be called through the variable. - Added: Built-in functions that take a callback now be passed directly in addition to the old method of passing as a string. Built-in functions can also be passed now (be careful that the function you pass matches what the caller expects). - Added: C++ style ternary operators: Local bResult = ("foo" = "bar") ? True : False - Added: Expression as default function parameter. - Added: With...EndWith can be used on expressions having dot-access. - Added: Nested "With...EndWith". - Added: Call calls built-in functions. - Added: ByRef with call function. - Added: Support for more COM VARIANT types. - Changed: Removed Windows 2000 support.

Quick update note on one of the mentioned items: This refers only to the _StringRepeat function , Select...EndSelect haven't been removed from the language.

I am not sure how that is a problem. The helpfile doesn't say that either of the functions return anything in @extended. Also you are reading @extended from MsgBox(), so it wouldn't work anyway (every function resets @error and @extended, so either use it directly or save to a variable for later).

BTW: Could you please give your thread a meaningful title? Everyone on this forum has a problem and is seeking for help - except those providing help A meaningful title helps users decide if it is worth to open the thread and read the posts. So it is a big time saver!

Have you tried AutoIt's Window Info Tool on that error dialog? I haven't tried myself, but you may also be able to just provide the text, without a Window Title. If WinExists("", "An error in the VPN connection has occurred.") Then You may also be able to use Last active window?

Yeah I know, it's in the helpfile, I was just saying that it hadn't been put in the changelog.txt file which is the only thing I paste here on release

Hi, For those who might be wondering how some of the new features work, here is some code which should help explain: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n #include <Constants.au3> ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; Ternary operator MsgBox($MB_OK, "Result: 1=1", (1 = 1) ? "True!" : "False!") MsgBox($MB_OK, "Result: 1=2", (1 = 2) ? "True!" : "False!") ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; Array dereferencing Global $sString = "0-1-2-3-4" MsgBox($MB_OK, "Array Deref", StringSplit($sString, "-")[3]) ; Display the 3rd element of the split array ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; Non-explicit array bound definition Global $aArray[] = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] ; Note declared with no bounds, but with elements MsgBox($MB_OK, "Result", $aArray[2]) ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; Functions as first class objects ; Using native functions $Func = MsgBox $Func(0, "Native", "Hello World!") ; Using UDFs $Func = _UDF_Func_1 $Func(0, "UDF", "Hello World!") Func _UDF_Func_1($v1, $v2, $v3) Return MsgBox($v1, $v2, $v3) EndFunc ; UDF function return $Func = _UDF_Func_2() $Func($MB_OK, "UDF-Func-Return-1", "Hello World!") $Func = _UDF_Func_2()(0, "UDF-Func-Return-2", "Hello World!") Func _UDF_Func_2() Return MsgBox EndFunc ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; ByRef parameters in Call Local Enum $eParam_1, $eParam_2, $eParam_3 $sByRefCall = "Before Call" Call('_Called_Func', $eParam_1, $eParam_2, $eParam_3, $sByRefCall) MsgBox($MB_OK, "After Call", $eParam_1 & @CRLF & $eParam_2 & @CRLF & $eParam_3 & @CRLF & $sByRefCall) Func _Called_Func($vParam_1, $vParam_2, $vParam_3, ByRef $sString) MsgBox($MB_OK, " In Function", $vParam_1 & @CRLF & $vParam_2 & @CRLF & $vParam_3 & @CRLF & $sString) $sString = "After Call" EndFunc I have added the line to disable AU3Check as this is obviously still a bit behind the core code - Jon has to decide the final syntax for some of the features before they can be correctly checked.

Hi, Few things: Instead of: $CompName = ' & $GlobalVar8 & '' & $GlobalVar1 & '' & $GlobalVar2 & '' & $GlobalVar3 & '' & $GlobalVar9 & '' & $GlobalVar4 & '' & $GlobalVar5 & '' & $GlobalVar6 & '' & $GlobalVar7 & ' You should doing like this way: $CompName = $GlobalVar8 & $GlobalVar1 & $GlobalVar2 & $GlobalVar3 & $GlobalVar9 & $GlobalVar4 & $GlobalVar5 & $GlobalVar6 & $GlobalVar7 Instead of: $GlobalVar9 = ("UAS") $GlobalVar9 = ("POS") It should be $GlobalVar9 = "UAS" $GlobalVar9 = "POS" Anyway, you start "ElseIf" without "If" Good luck!

It's common practise to avoid writing to the Windows directory if you don't need to. That directory should only be touched my drivers, applications which modify files in there and Windows itself. There is rarely a good reason to write there.
