GetRectCheckSum cannot use variables?

[davek1024]

The following seems to indicate that variables don't work with GetRectCheckSum???
----
let>x1=20
let>y1=40
let>y1=30
let>y2=50
GetRectCheckSum>20,40,30,50,cs1
GetRectCheckSum>x1,y1,x2,y2,cs2
GetRectCheckSum>%x1%,%y1%,%x2%,%y2%,cs3
messageModal>%cs1% %cs2% %cs3%

Hi davek1024,

Before pointing a finger to the variables, I would like to present my discovery. Referring to the following script:
Let>VAREXPLICIT=1
Let>cs1=0
Let>cs2=0
Let>cs3=0
let>x1=20
let>y1=40
let>x2=30
let>y2=50
GetRectCheckSum>20,40,30,50,cs1
GetRectCheckSum>x1,y1,x2,y2,cs2
GetRectCheckSum>%x1%,%y1%,%x2%,%y2%,cs3
message>%cs1% %cs2% %cs3%

The 3 results show up as normally you would expect. So, who are the culprits? Well, they are the invisible spaces trailing after variables x1, y1, x2, and y2. There's a simple way to annihilate all naughty trailing spaces. Presuming you're using Macro Script's built-in editor, press ALT+E, R. Now you're home free.

Happy scripting.

Thanks, that seems to have solved the problem. So I gather that even if you can use the 'arrow' keys to try to detect trailing spaces, they are there even if you can't detect them?

Perhaps also create x2?

In the Editor, two tools to help with this:
1. Click on Edit, Show All Chars to see trailing spaces.
2. Clickk on Edit, Remove Trailing Spaces to remove them.
