Runtime Includes

[slloyd]

Is there a way to #include files or functions at runtime. Something like the following:

<code>

InetGet("http://myserver.com/au3.pl", "c:\mytest.au3", 1)

#include "c:\mytest.au3"

</code>

#include is a compiler directive which causes the #include(d) files to be added to the Compiled Script at aut2exe time....

[slloyd]

Understood. So is there any other way to accomplish this?

For instance, in Perl, I can eval code at runtime.

Thanks.

you could make it an exe.

if needed it gets downloaded and it can parse variables through the parameters.

I do not quite understand how making it an exe will help. Can you give me an example of how this would help?

I think he means

InetGet() an exe on the server, then

Run() the exe

What you could do is if you need the script itself (not the compiled version), make two scripts. The first one will InetGet() the file you want, and then call the second one, which can have the #include<>, as the file is already residing locally.

This is what I ended up doing (two scripts - the first one downloads the script and saves it as a local file, then calls the other (non-compiled script) that has the downloaded file as an include.

This is a workaround but it sounds like AutoIT does NOT support run-time script evaluation like Perl and VBScript. This would be a very nice enhancement.

Even the workaround only works if the second script is not compiled. I was hoping I could compile an exe that would download code from a database and execute the scripted code as AutoIT script.
