indexed? but is the search function not just a search of all the text? What does the index have to do with searching?

I see your point. You are using the SEARCH functionn of the INDEX tab. I am not. I am using the SEARCH tab (where PSEUDO is found, but PSEUDO-ARRAYS is not).

When I use the search function in the documentation and search for "pseudo-arrays" (with or without the quotes), nothing is found. This is true for the online HTML version and the offline version.

1. Why?

2. Is there a way to search for "pseudo-arrays"? (or, any other complex string)

I had great difficulty finding the way to get the name of the called (via gosub or goto or gui g-label) subroutine today. It would be very helpful if GoSub and Goto included mentioning that they set A_ThisLabel or A_ThisLabel is added to the these command's "RELATED" section. Additionally, GUI g-lab...

Could someone explain why the author's script includes the FILEOPEN() command?

I add pictures to guis all the time without first opening the file. And, if the picture is already open in IRFANVIEW or PHOTOSHOP, my GUI ADD commands work just fine.

I can no longer find the green check mark Icon to mark a topic I have authored as SOLVED.

Does it still exist?

I can not figure out how to Mark SOLVED my latest post.

Thanks, Ragnar

Key history showed "Xbutton1" for me. My mouse has only 3 buttons, so I'm confused (so easily). So, I opened the doc INDEX and found XBUTTON. It took me the the doc for the CLICK command.

But, there the word XBUTTON is not to be found. This is not good.

@lexicos said "How can I tell if a script has a variable with the given name?" That is EXACTLY how I should have phrased my question. The problem arose when writing a hotkey subroutine to display variable values (of the same script). I was entering unused variable names and wasn't able to tell they ...

I would doubt LISTVARS scans the code. I would think he reads the symbol table. Otherwise, how can you explain him showing VAR100 in the following:
z := 100
var%z% := 666
listvars
msgbox holding listvars display ...

joefiesta

thanks. Boiler's solution is rather cool! But, unfortunately, what I REALLY wanted--and, yes, I probably misworded my question--is: How can I tell if a variable has been USED in a script? That is, can there be a way to distinguish betweenthe two "Not initialized" responses in regards to VAR2. I'm pr...

joefiesta

Thanks. I know listvars shows initialized variables. But, I want to do it within my script, without having to "futz" with listvars or someting. Sounds like the answer is: you can't. Kinda disappointing. And, I looked at DEBUGVARS.ahk by lexicos. Way too much and way over my head even if I could modi...

AHK has IsByRef(), IsFunc(), IsLabel() and IsObject(). But, I need IsVar().

How can I tell if a script has initialized a given variable?

joefiesta

thanks. that last example is a real doozy. I love AHK, but I hate the command structure. It seems like it an amalgam of styles from 2 or 3 languages. Probably most notably C++, which I never learned. Me, I'm an old mainframer who used IBM stuff which was documented EVER so precisely--probably way be...

joefiesta

sorry I was so argumentative. And WRONG!

The fact--and, yes, it's documented--that another command (although the doc says STATEMENT, I guess there's a difference) can follow the closing brace is SO UNINTUITIVE. Why ever allow that? I guess it makes the parsing easier.

joefiesta

did you try it?

my bad. you are right....

makes no sense to me, though. why is the WHILE command consider a new command when it is on the same line as the block?

joefiesta

i don't know why i bother arguing with you. But, WHILE can be a parameter, as in the FOR COMMAND shown below: colours := Object("red", 0xFF0000, "blue", 0x0000FF, "green", 0x00FF00) for k, v in colours { s .= k "=" v "`n" msgbox %s% } while true MsgBox % s Th command is FOR. that's it. WHILE is para...

joefiesta

BLOCK documentation does NOT describe a WHILE or UNTIL parameter. It only references the WHILE and UNTIL commands.

joefiesta

I'm not trying to do anything. I'm simply mentioning that the documentation is lacking. Just because you normally would not want to do something doesn't mean it should not be documented. And, yes, I realize I have to enter a doc report issue or HOPE someone who reads the problem issue referenced rea...

joefiesta

Sorry, gregster. My bad. I was looking at https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=89397 trying to figure it out and inadvertantly left the "UNTIL CLAUSE" in my test, as follows colours := Object("red", 0xFF0000, "blue", 0x0000FF, "green", 0x00FF00) ; The above expression could be used...

joefiesta

The doc for for-loop includes the following colours := Object("red", 0xFF0000, "blue", 0x0000FF, "green", 0x00FF00) ; The above expression could be used directly in place of "colours" below: for k, v in colours s .= k "=" v "`n" MsgBox % s I added msgbox, as follows: colours := Object("red", 0xFF000...
