How to share information between two AutoIt scripts

[Phenom]

Let's say I have a simple script that looks like this:

For $i = 0 to 100
    Sleep(1000)
Next

While this script is running I have another AutoIt script running. I want this other script to periodically check to see what the value of $i is. I want it to be done without writing to disk. What's the code to do that?

The "code to do that" is up to you, the functions for it are numerous(StdoutRead and its related functions for example), as are the forum examples I have seen here(I trust you know how to perform a search.

You can use a registry key too

the first script write your $i value and the second read it...

Doesn't using a registry key require writing to disk?

Eh, eh-he.

Well... Using a MySQL of webserver would be stupid? Wouldn't it?

I did a search but couldn't figure it out. How can StdoutRead be used to do this? The example script shows it being used in only one program. I need to get information from a different script that is running.

Search for WM_COPYDATA in the examples section.

You see in the example, it runs foo.bar as its child, foo.bar is what the example is reading the output from.
