Pass values to compile

[cag8f]

First of all, can someone confirm that psexec can only run .exe (as opposed to .au3, .xls, etc.) files remotely. I posted that question here and in the Sysinternals forum, but no one replied.

Assuming the answer to the above is 'yes,' I need to compile a script (script1.au3) but pass it certain paramaters, e.g. an array full of names. But that array will change every time I compile the script. As a novice, the only way I can think to accomplish this is write a second script (script2.au3) which edits script1.au3 with the appropriate information, then compile it. I'm just wondering if this is the most efficient way to do this, or am I missing some helpful functions/tricks that would make this easier?

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you try to write the array to a text file or spreadsheet, and have the script-to-be-compiled point to those locations. That way you don't have to re-compile every time, you just need to change the spreadsheet.

Good idea, I'll try that. Thanks!
