AutoIT Execute Two Statements/commands as One in Single-Line If statement -

wanted execute 2 commands part of single-line if statement mentioned below.

though below snippet executing without error, variable $f_akr_completed not set 1 msgbox displayed properly(with "f 0")

$f_akr_completed =0 $pid_chi=run($command) if $f_akr_completed = 0 , not processexists($pid_chi)    $f_akr_completed = 1 , msgbox(1,1,"[info]    akron parser completed. f " & $f_akr_completed) 

any idea why there no syntax-error reported when not funtional?

there no error, because

if x = x x , x 

is valid statement, , x , x logical expression. there many ways can this, e.g.:

if not ($f_akr_completed , processexists($pid_chi)) $f_akr_completed = 1 + 0 * msgbox(1,1,"[info]    akron parser completed. f " & 1) 

but bad style of coding. autoit verbose language , recommend seperate multiple statements.

you can assign values using ternary operator:

$f_akr_completed = (not ($f_akr_completed , processexists($pid_chi))) ? 1 : 0 

which same as

$f_akr_completed = int(not ($f_akr_completed , processexists($pid_chi)))
