extended help using #include

[norax]

im writing a script that will essentially #include specific files like plugins to the main script.

here is what i have so far, im having a problem with using 2 or more different "plugins" it will only keep including the data from when it loaded the first time even tho the file is rewritten properly. if i restart it works fine untill i try a different plugin again. any thoughts?

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <File.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Plugin Loader", 396, 138, 192, 124)
$List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 0, 0, 297, 136)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Launch Plugin", 304, 0, 91, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Plugin", 304, 32, 91, 25)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Remove Plugin", 304, 56, 91, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$plugins = ""
$plugint = IniRead("config.ini", "Plugins", "Plugint", "")

$0 = 1
While $0 <= $Plugint
    $plug = IniRead("config.ini", "Plugins", "Plugin" & $0, "")
    $plugins = $plugins & " " & $plug
    GUICtrlSetData($List1, $plug)
    $0 += 1
WEnd

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            $plugname = GUICtrlRead($List1) & ".e2s"
            BufferScript($plugname)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func BufferScript($plugname)
    $0 = 1
    FileDelete("plugtemp.e2s")
    While $0 <= _FileCountLines($plugname)
        FileWrite("plugtemp.e2s", FileReadLine($plugname, $0) & @CRLF)
        $0 += 1
    WEnd
    #include "plugtemp.e2s"
EndFunc

heres the config file

[Plugins]
Plugint=2
Plugin1=WinRefresh
Plugin2=EditScript

to test make a file with .e2s as extension and put anything for code in it ie: msgbox(0,"1","1"). and a config file that is setup similar to the above. ty in advanced

#include

That weird character at the start makes it a "compiler directive". Includes are not conditional thereby. Whatever is in the include will literally be copied in the script at the location of the include line before the script executes.

If you want to use #include for plugins you have to have everything as au3's and restart for any change.

would any other function be more suitable?

Easiest would be to just make every plugin it's own app, and then Run() it.

well yes but then they wouldnt quite be plugins they would be executables that didnt need the loader script
