I've not tested it, but it would be something like this if I were doing such a thing.

#Include <File.au3>

$aFiles = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir,"*.exe",1)

If @error Then Exit

$iRnd = Random(1,$aFiles[0],1)

Run($aFiles[$iRnd])

First you need to redefine you Run command, use Run($il) instead of the way you wrote it.

Second you have 7 commands to run, and you're trying to get a random number up to 31, 24 of your results will give you errors.

Third, you are running a different file every 10 seconds with no way to exit your script other than killing it in Task Manager or through the tray icon. Do you REALLY want it to run the same program every 10 seconds?

Hopefully this will help you find where your mistakes are and be able to correct them.

$debug = 1

dim $aRun[5] = [4, "script1.exe", "script2.exe", "script3.exe", "script4.exe"]
$rand = random(1, 4, 1)

if $debug = 1 then
    msgbox(0, "running...", $aRun[$rand])
Else
    run($aRun[$rand])
EndIf

Welcome back stranger.

I'm curious as to why one would need to run a random file every 10 seconds. This isn't something one can Google easily, and I'm no mind reader.

Thx for the replys

and yes i normaly put esc hotkey as end and pause key as pause

and thats isent the egzact script i want to use. the 1 i want to use haz persanal info in it (ie. passwords email accounts and bank info) i wont be posting it compleatly intact but i will post it but wut it will do in the end is collect info from sevral sorces (ie. email, bank statment) and putting it into a spreadsheet to keep track of things in one place the randome just makes it more fun lol im just odd like that and like doing things the hard way. ya learn more like that.

that waz just an (ie.) script

$debug = 1

dim $aRun[5] = [4, "script1.exe", "script2.exe", "script3.exe", "script4.exe"]
$rand = random(1, 4, 1)

if $debug = 1 then
    msgbox(0, "running...", $aRun[$rand])
Else
    run($aRun[$rand])
EndIf

the (1, 4, 1) parts means to run random file betwen 1 and 4 then 1 ??

im not sure i understand wut that means

maby a link or 2 to some research?

Straight from the help file:

Random ( [Min [, Max [, Flag]]] )

Min [optional] The smallest number to be generated. The default is 0.

Max [optional] The largest number to be generated. The default is 1.

Flag [optional] If this is set to 1 then an integer result will be returned. Default is a floating point number.
