error message "no data media in drive" with #include Topic is solved

[hd0202]

The FileName parameter may optionally be preceded by *i and a single space, which causes the program to ignore any failure to read the included file.

I want to use this code

Code: Select all

#include *i f:\ahk_source\include.ahk
#include *i d:\ahk_source\include.ahk

in my scripts to run the scripts on 2 different computers. Both have the harddisk on different drives, the other mentioned in the #include is a CD/DVD drive or not existent, and I get the message "no data media in drive" (in german: Kein Datenträger im Laufwerk), which must be closed on every run.

Is there a possibility to avoid this message?

Thnks in advance

AutoHotkey does ignore the failure, but Windows sometimes doesn't.

I am not able to reproduce your problem on Windows 7 or Windows XP, specifying either a drive which doesn't exist or an empty DVD drive. Do you get any error dialogs (excluding the script's MsgBoxes) if you run the following?

Code: Select all

MsgBox TEST #1
test1("f:\ahk_source\include.ahk")
test1("d:\ahk_source\include.ahk")

MsgBox TEST #2
test2("f:\ahk_source\include.ahk")
test2("d:\ahk_source\include.ahk")

test1(f) {
    try {
        FileOpen(f, "r").Read()
        MsgBox File read.
    } catch
        MsgBox Exception thrown.
}

test2(f) {
    try {
        DllCall("SetErrorMode", "uint", 1)
        FileOpen(f, "r").Read()
        MsgBox File read.
    } catch
        MsgBox Exception thrown.
    finally
        DllCall("SetErrorMode", "uint", 0)
}

Do you get any error dialogs (excluding the script's MsgBoxes) if you run the following?

Yes, with TEST #1:

message in German
---------------------------
AutoHotkey.exe - Kein Datenträger
---------------------------
Es befindet sich kein Datenträger im Laufwerk. Legen Sie einen Datenträger in Laufwerk F: ein.

message translated

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:.

TEST #2 runs without this message!

lexikos, thank you for all your good work for AutoHotkey. I use it for many years and I love it

Okay, I'll add the SetErrorMode() call in the next update.
