Command that could restart program from very beginning

[bittware]

Hello experts,

In my application, I want an operation that could reset the program and then let the program starts running from the very beginning. Is there any such command in AutoIt? Thanks.

BRs,

Hey,

Perhaps you could just restart the whole script?

Func _SelfRestart() ; restart the app
    Local $iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(308, "Restarting...", "Are you sure you want to restart?")
    If $iMsgBoxAnswer <> 6 Then Return ; Not Yes so return
    If @Compiled Then
        Run(FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))
    Else
        Run(FileGetShortName(@AutoItExe) & " " & FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))
    EndIf
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_SelfRestart

The clean, structured way would be to create a function to reset/clear your variables and arrays, and use a loop to go back to the top of your code.

Other than that, there are likely a million cheesy ways, here's one of them:

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Date.au3>

If _Singleton (@ScriptName, 1) = 0 Then ; If process is already running, kill older process
;   WinClose("yoohoo")
    ProcessClose(@ScriptName)
EndIf
$response = MsgBox(1,"yoohoo",_Now())
If $response = 1 Then Run(@ScriptFullPath) ; restart script

That is exactly what I want. A straightforward way
