GodForsakenSoul Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 right now i'm using inis as a dump-place to shove my variables into via IniWrite(), and then have another file or a function read that ini file, find the variable i need to transfer and use it. the system is probably considered retarded, but hey, it works. the problem with this system, of course, is that it's not 100% reliable. sure, it's awesome, but i actually was forced to add a few lines of pointless make-sure-that-it-actually-exists code to let autoit take a long enough distraction from the ini file to have it updated, and then when i read it again, WITH THE UPDATE, i can safely use whatever variable i'm thinking of at the moment. using my calculations, and a number i pulled out of my ass, i'd say this dump/read system is only 87% efficient. mostly, due to fact that autoit is slightly faster then the speed of ini update or whatever. i'm looking for a way to actually TRANSFER a variable into a file. unsurprisingly, i failed. and i tried quite alot, i assure you. so now i'm looking for suggestions on the topic from more experienced coders. anyone? anyone at all?

Developers Jos Posted December 29, 2009 Developers Share Posted December 29, 2009 What exactly are you looking for? 1. Sharing values within one script run? -> Use Global Variables and/or pass the values via parameters of the Func calls) 2. Just keep values as defaults between script runs? -> INI is fine 3. Sharing values between multiple scripts running at the same time? -> INI for occasional updates. -> For Fast exchange you can use the Windows WM_COPYDATA message or Named Pipes. Examples are posted for interscript data transfers.

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2009 GodForsakenSoul, Take a look at this topic. It might help you. But if you are still working on the same project, you have been shown by Volly how to combine the 2 scripts and so avoid the problem altogether!

GodForsakenSoul Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 yeah, that #forceref thing doesn't work. it doesn't recognize the variables as existing ones. i'm looking to transfer data between included variables. i ditched the method described in my earlier post because it's simply too late to redo the whole script to fit into it.

GodForsakenSoul Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 ok, maybe *I* don't understand how it works... i admit that's a possibility.... hell, i have no clue what it is actually. dude (you, maybe?) just said to me "do #forceref $variable, $someothervariable". i don't know what to expect from it. ._.;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted December 29, 2009 Developers Share Posted December 29, 2009 The only purpose of #forceref is to avoid au3check errors/warnings and I cannot see what it would do for "inter-script" communication. Anyways, the majority of the posts I have seen from you are as coherent as these last few so I am signing off again from this thread.

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2009 GodForsakenSoul,Did you read the #forceref topic you were directed to? Both Jos and I posted examples of how to use it there....
