Something similar to call_user_func_array(PHP)? Topic is solved

[RomAnT]

Need to call different functions from another function however this functions have different number of arguments. Is there something like call_user_func_array() function or any other way to achieve this?

Code: Select all

myFunction(inputStr, paramOne := "", paramTwo := "") {
	msgbox inputStr " P1: " paramOne " P2: " paramTwo
}


callerFunct(functName, functArgsArr) {

	myVar := ""
	n := 1
	
	while n <= functArgsArr.length {
		myVar := myVar . " " . functArgsArr[n]
		n++
	}
	msgbox myVar
	
	%functName%("Hello World!", %myVar%)
}

callerFunct("myFunction", ["one", "two"])

I don't see how serves same purpose, basically what it does it pass arguments to function as array, however for this function needs to be declared this way.

I would not be able to use built-in functions with this method.

I spent time studying how this solution can not achieve functionality i want because
- functions i want to call will have different number of arguments
- arguments they accept are separate string arguments instead of single array argument
- this will not work for built in functions

@RomAnT
MyFunc(params_array*)

You pass the array as a regular var with *. As long as you pass the proper number of params in the array it should work.

Edit:

Code: Select all

arr := ["param1","param2"]
MyFunc(arr*) ; calls MyFunc() with 2 params

And it does not Work

Code: Select all

myFunction(inputStr, paramOne := "", paramTwo := "") {
	msgbox inputStr " P1: " paramOne " P2: " paramTwo
}


myArr := ["one", "two"]

myFunction("hello" myArr*)   ; <--- Error:  Expected a String but got an Array.

You forgot a comma…

Indeed this works! Thanks everyone.
