AutoIt: Illegal text at end of statement

Question

I'm unable to figure out what it wrong with this

Func Hypotenuse($a, $b)
    Return sqrt($a * $a + $b * $b)
EndFunc

Error is

Func Hypotenuse($a, $b)
Func Hypotenuse($a, $b)^ERROR

Error: Illegal text at end of statement (one statement per line).

EDIT: It appears to have been a hidden character

Answer 1

You copied code from AutoIt forum or some other Invision Power Board driven forum.

If that is correct, you copy the end-of-line HTML-character if you don't pop out the code box. Easiest fix for many lines is to CTRL + A, copy & paste into Notepad, then copy that and paste back into SciTE.

Answer 2

Well, nothings wrong there :O

This:

Func Hypotenuse($a, $b)
    Return sqrt($a * $a + $b * $b)
EndFunc


ConsoleWrite(Hypotenuse(2,2))

Works perfect for me? And for you? Whats the rest of the Code?

Answer 3

This sort of thing can happen when you call your function from the incorrect If..Then statement. For example, the code

If Hypotenuse(1,1) > 0 Then ConsoleWrite("test" & @CRLF) EndIf

gives you an "Illegal text at end of statement" error, whereas the code

If Hypotenuse(1,1) > 0 Then ConsoleWrite("test" & @CRLF)

or

If Hypotenuse(1,1) > 0 Then
   ConsoleWrite("test" & @CRLF)
EndIf

works just fine.

Answer 4

I had the same issue when I had an extra ) at the end of the call.

Real code issue:

LogProgram("(SM) Selected Image SM: " & $imageList[$smPicName]))  

Correct:

LogProgram("(SM) Selected Image SM: " & $imageList[$smPicName])
