Hi,

 

Let's say you read a line from an .ini file

 

IniRead, ini_Conditions, test.ini, General, Conditions

 

The content of ini_Conditions is now:

{var} != 2 AND {var} != 3 AND {var} != 7

 

After replacing all {var} strings with the value belonging to it

like:

8 != 2 AND 8 != 3 AND 8 != 7

 

Is there any way to let AHK evaluate this boolean logic (so that in this case the end result = true)?

 

The comparison operators are treated as normal strings so I cannot just use an if () expression...

There actually is a function for that, its called "eval()" (evaluates a string as an expression) and you should be able to find it from google with 'ahk eval'. Currently on phone so finding the link and stuff is a bit mehhy.

You mean: http://www.autohotke...ns-dynamically/

?

 

Doesn't work for me...

msgbox, % eval("8 != 7")

Is just empty...

You put the eval.ahk file into your Lib folder right? If it still doesn't work, it probably won't due to our versions of AHK being too new. I think the documentation for it says it may not run on higher than 1.1.08. I'm personally on 1.1.22.02 at the moment and it doesn't work either.

Sure, otherwise AHK would have mentioned that I'm trying to call a non existent function

 

On the latest AHK version and it doesn't make sense to go back so far for this function. Although it would be great to have it (on new AHK versions)...
