Can I automatically see the variable from my if statement?

[Pepper Potato]

I want something like this:

Code: Select all

if (VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename))
   {msgbox, the verified first name is %v%
   }

Is it possible to do this like this?

I'm trying to avoid doing this:

Code: Select all

v:=VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename))
if (v)
   {msgbox, the verified first name is %v%
   }

Thank you.

Is this what you want? Maybe I don't understand the question, Is VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename) a function in your program?

Code: Select all

v := "ahk"
if (v = "ahk")
   {msgbox, the verified first name is %v%
   }

Code: Select all

If ((v := VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename)) > "")
 MsgBox, The verified first name is %v%.
   
VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename) {
 Return "Jim"
}

Code: Select all

If ((v := VERIFY_FIRST_NAME(wholename)) > "")

That works perfectly!

But if anyone finds a shorter way please let me know.

Yes. A custom function.

But if anyone finds a shorter way please let me know

if (v := VERIFY_FIRST_NAME("wholename")) { is slightly shorter if your function can return false

Perfect!

That's all good, but I've decided to change my full name to 0.
