Script While/Do

[Eekhoorn]

Hey, I got this script but it's not working like it should be. The sub scripts are perfect(and simple:)).

Here is the code:

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

#include <script1.au3>
#include <script2.au3>
#include <script3.au3>
#include <script4.au3>

dim $aRun[4] = ["script1.au3", "script2.au3", "script3.au3", "script4.au3"] 
$rand = random(1,4,1)

dim $iCount

$iCount = 0

while 1
    if $iCount < 100 then run($arun[$rand]) 
    $iCount =  $iCount + 1
    
    
WEnd

Really need help, thanks in advance!

It works well actually, but it doesn't repeat...

The index of an array starts with 0. So you have to change the random statement to generate numbers between 0 and 3 for an array with 4 elements:

$rand = random(0,3,1)

I've reformated your script a bit. What you need is some error checking. Run the script and post what you get in SciTe.

#include <script1.au3>
#include <script2.au3>
#include <script3.au3>
#include <script4.au3>

Global $aRun[4] = ["script1.au3", "script2.au3", "script3.au3", "script4.au3"] 
$iRand = random(0,3,1)
Global $iCount = 0
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
While 1
    if $iCount < 100 then 
        $iResult = run($aRun[$iRand])
        ConsoleWrite("Script " & $aRun[$iRand] & " executed. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
    Else
        Exit
    Endif
    $iCount =  $iCount + 1
WEnd

Thanks!

but $iResult is not declared and gives an error. dim $iResult doesnt work, neither does global $iResult. Any solutions ?

edit: rand was declared, but we used iRand, changed that! no errors anymore now

edit2: You know, he isn't doing the loop at all, it just runs script1, then script2 etc..

BTW: I didn't correct the error with the wrong index. The correct version is:

#include <script1.au3>
#include <script2.au3>
#include <script3.au3>
#include <script4.au3>

Global $aRun[4] = ["script1.au3", "script2.au3", "script3.au3", "script4.au3"]
Global $iResult 
$iRand = random(0,3,1)
Global $iCount = 0
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
While 1
    if $iCount < 100 then 
        $iResult = run($aRun[$iRand])
        ConsoleWrite("Script " & $aRun[$iRand] & " executed. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
    Else
        Exit
    Endif
    $iCount =  $iCount + 1
WEnd

Be aware that #including those files can execute script1, then script2 etc... as you are actually including the code from those included scripts into the main script. Also be aware that Run() executes files that are executable so au3 files may not be executable.
