My point isn't that it would be a bad part of the language (except for what it would add to the docs), but that it isn't worth adding.
And that's a pretty silly analogy, for reasons I don't have to expound on. |

It's just as silly as your reasons for not adding it. Again, you also use the extremely lame excuse of having to modify the docs... Has AutoHotkey development completely ceased? Is this now to be considered a Final release? If not, then the docs will need to be updated. Do you really think that anyone that uses AHK considers that adding another couple lines to the doumentation should prevent an additional feature being added? Is the documentation really that much of a burden that it restricts development of the language? |

| It is a pretty lame excuse. But it's enough. I don't actively oppose this change, I just want to know why it's so necessary. |

Well, the point there was that it isn't enough of an excuse. I'm willing to bet that you are in the extreme minority in thinking that it is.

Understood. Simple answer... Users have stated that they would find it useful. Surprisingly, that rarely seems to be enough justification these days... |

That's AutoIt2, the base of the original AutoHotkey... Doing arithmetic beyond the four operations needed external programs.

I found this thread because I have an ooRexx script that I want to convert to ahk.
Part of the script involves getting the max of a series of variables. I couldn't exactly understand the example by lazlo on page 1, so I figured that the easiest way for me to do this is to use the native MAX function in ooRexx, but calling it from ahk.
EG:
AHK script.ahk
| Code: |
run , rexx call_rex_from_ahk.rex 1`,5`,23`,12`,11`,56`,74`,22`,11`,22`,33`,44`,55`,228
|
rexx script = call_rex_from_ahk.rex
| Code: |
parse arg a1 ',' a2 ',' a3 ',' a4 ',' a5 ',' a6 ',' a7 ',' a8 ',' a9 ',' a10 ',' a11 ',' a12 ',' a13 ',' a14
daymax = max(a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10,a11,a12,a13,a14)
say 'Max is ' daymax '!!!!!'
pause /* added so you can actually see it */
|
Now I just have to put the daymax somewhere (from the rexx script) that I can use it... maybe in an ini/tmp or try to fileappend it straight to the sql file I want it for.
Feel free to let me know if max was added since then but I can't see it in the autohotkey.chm file. |

i somehow felt this is the place for this lil script:
min aswell as max accept three lists of values (each can use seperators such as ,| , %A_Tab% or CRLF) or simple values and it either returns min or max of those given values (lists or values)
| Code: | l1 := "12,45,3,1,2,3,4"
l2 := "0"
l3 := "a,b"
MsgBox % min(l1,l2,l3) "/" max(l1,l2,l3)
min(listValue1,ListValue2="",ListValue3=""){
return sortMMlist(listValue1,listValue2,listValue3,1)
}
max(listValue1,ListValue2="",ListValue3=""){
return sortMMlist(listValue1,listValue2,listValue3,0)
}
sortMMlist(m1,m2,m3,m4){
loop,3 {
m:= RegExReplace(m%A_Index%,"[^\d,\|\r\n\t]"),m:= RegExReplace(m,"\||\t|,|\r?\n","`n")
Loop,Parse,m,`n
if StrLen(A_LoopField)
o .= A_LoopField "`n"
}
sort,o,% "N" ((m4=1) ? "" : "R")
StringSplit,o,o,`n
return o1
} |

Hi DerRaphael,
That was great advice thanks. Now I can manage it without rexx. |
