Hi @OJBakker, thanks for your suggestion. I think it's a good idea and I will add a function example for the usage of 'default' 🤝 . 17 hours ago, Nisteo said: But in help file I found this: Not ("string1" == "string2") Hi @Nisteo, thanks for the hint 🤝 . I was referring to this wiki page article, but in the help file here for "Operators" I can not find NOT <> which is good. I will remove this "Not equal combinative" variant from the cheat sheet. Otherwise it's confusing a bit, you're right. Best regards Sven Edited February 21, 2023 by SOLVE-SMART Stay innovative!

SOLVE-SMART Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) @OJBakker, I extend the function section by a example of the usage of the Default keyword. Thanks again for your suggestion.@Nisteo, I removed "Not <>", like I wrote before. Cheat Sheet is up-to-date. If there are no more recommendations, ideas etc., I will publish the AutoIt (en) Cheat Sheet at the end of the week. See this post for the links to the Cheat Sheet.

Nisteo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 @SOLVE-SMART I found a mini bug, lol 😂 If you copy-paste one of the example strings, then syntax checker will throw an error. Because there are some invisible characters between the quotes. SOLVE-SMART 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLVE-SMART Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Thanks @Nisteo, I checked it with VSCode and found unfortunately the same result and behavior 😔 . I cannot adjust this in any way. It's the way cheatography build their frontend/website. An working alternative is: Copy-paste from the PDF Version of the Cheat Sheet 😀 .

RTFC Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Remarks: Please put the links to the website/pdf in the first post, so people can actually find it without searching the entire thread. Logical Operators (And, Or, Not, evaluating conditions) are not Binary operators (BitAnd, BitOr, etc, acting on values/bitmasks)! Modulus "not %" is confusing (see previous point), and it's not an actual example of usage like all the others; maybe: Mod<tab>Modulus<tab>Mod(val1, val2) the Select example does not emphasize the difference from Switch; the former evaluates conditional expressions (dynamic, slow), the latter specific (ranges of) values (hardcoded, fast) In Comparison Operators, ci and cl are difficult to distinguish, maybe use capitals (CI/CL)?

water Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 My 2 cents worth Au3Check and Au3Stripper are extra utilities to enhance coding. I would describe them in a separate section (if possible with a different color) and add a description to the block of each tool like "Au3Check - Checks the script for syntax errors". So coders can distinguish between the core language and extra tools.

water Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 On 2/22/2023 at 1:43 PM, SOLVE-SMART said: The description/explanation in the wiki tutorial is wrong. I tried to update the tutorial but noticed that The information in the Operators section is just a duplication of the help file The tables are badly formatted (by using HTML and not the wiki markups), other formatting is comkpletely wrong (e.g. precedence of operators) The coding of the examples do not adhere to the standards (hungarian notation etc.) described in other tutorials last but not least: The tutorial is described as "cheat sheet" If I find some spare time I will Remove duplicated information. The help file is the bible of AutoIt. As we do not want to update information in multiple places I will just insert a link to the help file. Update the examples so they adhere to our standards Update formatting What do you think?

kurtykurtyboy Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Cool idea! Do you think the Static keyword would be useful to have in the variable section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLVE-SMART Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hi and thank you @kurtykurtyboy 😀 . I had a similar suggestion (and discussion about it) in the german AutoIt forum, regarding Const. Let me try to explain. The content which is in the Cheat Sheet is (hopefully) well thought out. I agree with your question about what is useful (Static, Const etc.) and what not, so thank you 👍 . The problem I see is that it's hard to differ between which should be in and what not. In case I would add Static and Const, I also should add several other things. Maybe Dim, Enum etc.?! Or I should explain the usage of Arrays a bit more, because it's really essential to AutoIt (in my opinion). But then I would also have to add more information to the other data types and so on. That's why I tried to set a concrete cut. A common Cheat Sheet (for other programming language) is not longer then two or three pages (I mean the PDF version). So in case I add several more things, I will break the "best practices" and I am would still be unsure about what also should be in and what not 😅 . 💡 More details information of the language can and should be read from the documentation/reference (in my opinion). The Cheat Sheet is just a quick overview and should drive curiosity to know more about the language. Anyway, thanks again @kurtykurtyboy. How would you personally handle such a Cheat Sheet? I am totally open to change my view of point by good recommendations/suggestions and reasons 😇 . Best regards Sven Stay innovative!

Linbeardy Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) I found this cheat sheet very convenient when I started learning AutoIt some time ago. It really helped simplify the scripting process, especially given these complex syntactic features. By the way, if you want to explore more resources on scripting languages, I recently came across a great site: https://notesonline.com which, during the training, will be able to help you create quite convenient notes. Try to simplify your life as much as possible. It's always useful to have different sources to expand your toolkit, isn't it?
