PostPosted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 2:29 am    Post subject: Multi Choice text question for HugoV Reply with quote

In April of this year, HugoV was of great help with topic 43116.html

I have updated the program with new text but now receive an error message that a variable contains an illegal character which I am unable to sort out. I would like to post the ahk for HugoV et al to help if possible but am unsure how to do this. The file is 160kb and when cutting and pasting does not appear in this message box. Can I attach the file to a posting? The FAQ does not appear to cover this.

regards

The Ahk compiler tells you the line number where the problem is, linke this:
Quote:

---------------------------
junk273.ahk
---------------------------
Error at line 8.

Line Text: winmovea, A, ,,, 900
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Why not find the line with the variable that AHK doesn't like and post it and 10 written lines above and below it.
It won't help to understand the flow but will at least help the forum determine the variable with the illegal character.

As Hugo says, problem now resolved. Thank you all for your suggestions on uploading the ahk file.

This Community must be one of the best out there.

Kind regards
