Copy snippets of code from a larger code


Recommended Posts

i am new to autoit..is there a way by which we can compile and run a snippet of a code from a larger code by executing the larger code?? For example if there is 10 lines in the main code and wen i execute it i want a part of the code form it to form a sub smaller code...and then i want to execute the smaller code..please help. :mellow:

Your question is as clear as mud to me. Gives us a simple example where/how you want to use it. :mellow:

Well lets suppose i am creating an utility script for say 1>removing temp files from the temp folder b>for doing job 2...now as far as i can code..i write the whole stuff in a single script and compile it to an exe,, now suppose i want the snippet (1),which is a subcode..to be a new independent piece of code..Like when i run the exe ..i want that snippet of code to be extracted/copied from the main program and be created into a separate existence so that now we have two codes..In vbs this can be done(i suppose with procreatecopy i am not sure)..how to dio that in autoit?? plz help /

There are two fairly simple ways of doing something similar.

1. you can write 2 seperate codes and compile them to exe. At the end of the first code you can have a Gui asking if they wish to proceed to 2nd job.

Then have the first app run the 2nd app and close.

2. write 2 seperate codes and use fileinstall to include the 2nd script in the first and extract when called.

Hmmm...that seems simple enuf...bt still..can u give a simple code as an example..i find it easier to learn that way..and as for the gui..i guess silent install can also be performed..newaz thanks a ton and plz try and give an example..wud find it easier to learn.. :mellow:

DarkAngel,

Snippet1()
Snippet2()

Func Snippet1()
    MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, "This is snippet 1")
EndFunc

Func Snippet2()
    MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, "This is snippet 2")
EndFunc

Hope that helps.

Hey thats really simple..i never thot of implementing this..thanks a ton..:mellow:

I have another question..can a snippet be compiled to an exe from the body of the main script?? like wen the funtion 2 is called is there any way of compiling that part and making it a new independent exe??

For the GUI example, this would be script 1 (compiled to exe)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window")
$count=5

GUICreate("Continue?",200,80)
$ok=GUICtrlCreateButton("OK",10,20)
$stop=GUICtrlCreateButton("End",40,20)
$timer=GUICtrlCreateLabel($count,25,55)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$start=TimerInit()

While 1
    $msg=GUIGetMsg()

    $diff=TimerDiff($start)
    If $diff>1000 Then
        $start=TimerInit()
        $count-=1
        GUICtrlSetData($timer,$count)
    EndIf

    If $count<1 Then
        Run(@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe")
        Exit(1)
    EndIf

    If $msg=$ok Then
        Run(@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe")
        Exit(1)
    ElseIf $msg=$stop Then
        Exit(1)
    ElseIf $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exit(1)
    EndIf

WEnd

Then you would have a 2nd compiled exe (named script2.exe and in the same location as script1)

ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", @CRLF&"This is a line from the 2nd script")

Exit(1)

This is program 1 with some modifications. First, if you compile the 2nd script here and name it script2.exe, when compiling this script, it will include script2.exe inside of it. Also, it will open, write to, save and close notepad.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Run("notepad.exe " &@ScriptDir&"\test.txt")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
Sleep(500)
If WinExists("Notepad", "") Then
    ControlClick("Notepad", "&Yes", "[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:1]", "LEFT", 1)
EndIf
ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window")
Sleep(500)
    $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
    While $logo = 1
        $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
        WinClose("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")
        Sleep(1000)
        If WinExists("Notepad", "Do you want to save") Then
            ControlSend("Notepad", "Do you want to save", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]", "{ENTER}")
        EndIf
        Sleep(1000)
        $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
    WEnd

$count=5

FileInstall(@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe",@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe");this line includes the 2nd exe in the first exe

GUICreate("Continue?",200,80)
$ok=GUICtrlCreateButton("OK",10,20)
$stop=GUICtrlCreateButton("End",40,20)
$timer=GUICtrlCreateLabel($count,25,55)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$start=TimerInit()

While 1
    $msg=GUIGetMsg()

    $diff=TimerDiff($start)
    If $diff>1000 Then
        $start=TimerInit()
        $count-=1
        GUICtrlSetData($timer,$count)
    EndIf

    If $count<1 Then
        Run(@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe")
        Exit(1)
    EndIf

    If $msg=$ok Then
        Run(@ScriptDir&"\script2.exe")
        Exit(1)
    ElseIf $msg=$stop Then
        Exit(1)
    ElseIf $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exit(1)
    EndIf

WEnd

script2 will be extracted by script1 and can be run on it's own or by the end part of script1. it also openes the txt file created by the first script, or creates a new one if it is not there, writes to it, saves and closes it.

Run("notepad.exe " &@ScriptDir&"\test.txt")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
Sleep(500)
If WinExists("Notepad", "") Then
    ControlClick("Notepad", "&Yes", "[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:1]", "LEFT", 1)
EndIf
ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "This is a line from the 2nd script"&@CRLF)
Sleep(500)
    $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
    While $logo = 1
        $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
        WinClose("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")
        Sleep(1000)
        If WinExists("Notepad", "Do you want to save") Then
            ControlSend("Notepad", "Do you want to save", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]", "{ENTER}")
        EndIf
        Sleep(1000)
        $logo = WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]")
    WEnd

k...i did the file install with .txt and some .vbs files..it works...the soundplay function plays a sound from a specific location..is it possible to include that sound in the main program while compiling..??? so that the standalone .exe is portable and when executed from any machine that sound file wud play??...same for the splash screen...can the sound n the image files be included in the same exe,instead of making a separate resource folder,then extracting it to a temp n then playing the file from there...can the whole thing be self contained?? :mellow:

for each file you want to include, you need a new fileinstall line. What you can do is at the beginning of your main script extract those files to a temp dir to be played/used when needed and filedelete when done.

There are other ways (someone wrote a UDF that would use included files without extracting them) that can be found with a forum search.
