Close then reopen fuction?

[BryanMc]

well i was wondering if anyone knows how to make a function that will close the script then reopen it... refresh u can say but in a function way.... for example: I'll have a hot key for a function... lets say the hot key is f1, when i hit f1 the script that I'm using will close then reopen itself... if that's not possible then is there a way we can make it like refresh the script? as in turn EVERY thing off that its doing (talking about the script)

any help would be great.... thanks... just need the faction part... i can set a hotkey my self

i'm still new to scripting but can u explain this code to me?

Code below:

Func _restart()

If @Compiled = 1 Then

Run( FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))

Else

Run( FileGetShortName(@AutoItExe) & " " & FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))

EndIf

Exit

EndFunc

I have highlishted some text to red to show my point.... do i replace that in red with my script name? lets say my script is test.au3 --- how would i go about putting that into make it restart my script?

The simplicity of this snippet had me confused for awhile too. Basically, it just starts another copy of the calling script, and exits the first copy.

Nothing needs to be replaced. FileGetShortName is an AutoIt function. See Macro Reference for definitions of the three macros used.

You bet. You know, the thread where I got that snippet from has a bunch of other useful code snippets.
