There's code floating around the forum to check whether an USB drive as been connected or disconnected... but this should do it too :unsure:...

AdlibRegister("_Check_Script_Existence", 1000)

Func _Check_Script_Existence()
    if not FileExists(@ScriptFullPath) Then
        Exit
    endif
EndFunc

Did you try it ?

Seems odd that a script can realize that it doesn't exists...Posted Image

Seems logical to me. If the @ScriptFullPath is on a flash drive, then if it's unplugged, the full path no longer exists. However, I'm not sure if the script will be able to continue to run if the drive is unplugged as mentioned.

You may have to FileInstall a secondary script to a temp dir on the pc that checks the path or something.

How can it be logical to you ?

If not plugged, it can't be executed and "know" if it exists...

A second script seems more reliable.

I was assuming the script was started while the drive was plugged in.

*edit*

I guess I also assumed that script was loaded into Memory before running, but maybe not. Wasn't sure as I always run all my scripts locally.

I just tested this scenario with one of my scripts, I ran SciTe from the hard drive, opened a script on a USB drive, and then ran it from SciTe. After it started running, I pulled the USB drive from the computer, it kept running without a problem. It appears to be running the script in memory.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

it works for me, the thing about this is it checks to see if the path exists, so where ever the script comes from(USB drive) if it is deleted(or unplugged) the script will no longer exist on the computer, and then you can make it exit using an if...then. however if the script is not on a flash drive, the only way to close the script(unless you have another closing option) is to delete the script.

Have the script write a temporary file to the USB drive you're accessing, if that file doesn't exist then exit the script. This way it won't matter where the script is being run from, it only matters that the USB drive has a file you're looking for on it. Or just look for the drive letter itself if you don't have the script running from the USB drive.
