is it possible to read code from a file?

[lionfaggot]

sort of like, i put autoit code in a txt file, can a compiled autoit exe execute the code? and also, how would i go about this in a secure manner, it creates possible code injection vulnerabilities

You will need the compiler or write your own compiler.

You can make your own script with autoitscript.

So yes, it's possible.

not what i meant, i saw another post on here some time ago asking a similar question and it got answered. at the time i didnt care but now i wanna do something with it and cant find the post LOL

[Gideon]

What you mean then?

You want to make a kind of macro's, instead of compile it to .exe?

So in example you make a text file called "code.txt".

In "code.txt" is written "msg: hello world".

And you want to make a msgbox with "hello world" from your compiled script.

[lionfaggot]

no, i want to have a compiled exe read from a file msgbox(0,"poop","poop") and execute the code

[Gideon]

So you will have something like this:

#include <file.au3>
Dim $aRecords
If Not _FileReadToArray("C:\code.txt",$aRecords) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
   Exit
EndIf
For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
    If StringRegExp($aRecords[$x],'(?i)MsgBox') Then
    MsgBox(0,"test","regexp true")
    EndIf
Next

Do you mean this?

Run("anyCompiledAutoitExe.exe  /AutoIt3ExecuteScript C:\MyAutoitScriptInATextFile.txt" )

[Gideon]

Do you mean this?

Run("anyCompiledAutoitExe.exe  /AutoIt3ExecuteScript C:\MyAutoitScriptInATextFile.txt" )

That's a lot better:)

I'm trying to help, but not know everything, Sorry
