 |
|
How can I deduct 2 from a variable containing 005 float number?
I've tried it here, but it doesn't work:
| Code: | CheckCounter = 5
SetFormat, Float, 03 ; making it 3-number format
CheckCounter += 0.0
msgbox, CheckCounter: %CheckCounter%
SetFormat, Float, 03 ; making it 3-number format
Counter := CheckCounter – 2
msgbox, here is the result: %Counter% |

You need to subtract a floating point number for SetFormat, Float to take effect; also you only need to specify the format once, since you're in the auto-execute section. | Code: | CheckCounter = 5
SetFormat, Float, 03 ; making it 3-number format
CheckCounter += 0.0
msgbox, CheckCounter: %CheckCounter%
Counter := CheckCounter - 2.0
msgbox, here is the result: %Counter% |

also you posted it with – (a horizontal line) instead of - ( a Hyphen)
They look the same to you but the computer doesn't think so. 
| Code: | CheckCounter = 5
SetFormat, FloatFast, 03 ;You could also use FloatFast
CheckCounter += 0.0
msgbox, CheckCounter: %CheckCounter%
Counter := CheckCounter - 2 ;and leave the 2 alone
msgbox, here is the result: %Counter% |

I noticed that the Expression was not giving the expected results. I tried a few thing and finaly narrowed it down to that. The – is also slightly longer than -.
The Expression treated It like a period in Concatenate.  |
