 |
|
| If I use the built-in variable "A_Username" I get always the name of the computer (Autohotkey v1.0.46.16). If I use Autohotkey 1.0.45.4 it works. Axel |

AHK v1.0.46.16 and Windows 2000 SP4
A_UserName and A_ComputerName both returns value of A_ComputerName
| Code: | | MsgBox, % A_Username "`n" A_ComputerName |

A_ComputerName gives the right value.
A_UserName got crazy and wants to go on our nerves (...)

Lookingt at the source, Chris changed the way he gets the User name:
1.0.46.16
| Code: |
//script.cpp
if ( !strcmp(lower, "computername")
|| !strcmp(lower, "username")) return BIV_User_Computer;
//script2.cpp
VarSizeType BIV_User_Computer(char *aBuf, char *aVarName)
{
char buf[MAX_PATH]; // Doesn't use MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1 in case longer names are allowed in the future.
char *target_buf = aBuf ? aBuf : buf;
DWORD buf_size = MAX_PATH;
if ( !(aVarName[6] ? GetComputerName(target_buf, &buf_size) : GetUserName(target_buf, &buf_size)) )
*target_buf = '\0';
return (VarSizeType)strlen(target_buf);
}
|
1.0.46.10 (last one I have source code handy for)
| Code: |
//script.cpp
if (!strcmp(lower, "computername")) return VAR_COMPUTERNAME;
if (!strcmp(lower, "username")) return VAR_USERNAME;

I wonder why he changed the code - it was small and worked well.

This has been fixed in today's v1.0.46.17. I'd done an overhaul of built-in variables to eliminate about 5 KB of unnecessary code. But during the process, A_UserName got damaged (in the code mentioned above, aVarName[6] has been corrected to be aVarName[10]).
Sorry for the inconvenience; and thanks for reporting it. |
