Chimaera Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have a script im working on where i have modules that i can change to give it different programs a module consists of A detection section where it decides whether the app is up to date etc An install section where it has the actual install code and params And a update section for updating from the net There is only 5 programs in the program at a time and copy and pasting diff programs in an out is prone to copy errors and mistakes So i wondered if i can use the modules by using the #include section to load the 5 modules i need. How do i write it so the sections from the module appear in the right sections in the main script? Do i wrap them in an variable and just add that at the point of the script i need it? Can this be wrapped in that way? e.g install section below $CBoxStatDTL = GUICtrlRead($CBoxDTL) If $CBoxStatDTL = $GUI_CHECKED Then SplashTextOn(" Installing ", " DAEMON Tools Is Being Installed ", 300, 50, -1, -1, 0, "Tahoma", 10, 600) ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "\file_includes\down_daemon.exe", IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\file_includes\support\updates.ini", "DTL", "Switch_0", "Not Found")) Sleep(1500) SplashOff() GUICtrlSetData($DTL_check, "Up To Date") GUICtrlSetState($CBoxDTL, $GUI_UNCHECKED) ElseIf @error Then MsgBox(48, "Error", $DTL_name & " Install Failed", 2) EndIf Sleep(500) Or do i make that one module and have three for each product? Any advice If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.

BrewManNH Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What you're asking for isn't clear, so I'm not sure I'm answering what you're asking. If you want to know if you can conditionally use #include in sections of your script, then the answer is no. All #include statements are processed before the script is run, and when compiled, they're added at where ever in the script you place the statement, then the script is compiled. 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Chimaera Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Ok ill try and explain more clearly I get these ideas and they drive me nuts on how to do it Main Script goes like this includes etc gui stuff detection section Module 1a Module 2a Module 3a Module 4a Module 5a [While loop] install stuff Module 1b Module 2b Module 3b Module 4b Module 5b update stuff Module 1c Module 2c Module 3c Module 4c Module 5c [End of while loop] Functions etc Each program has 3 parts to a module To change a module like the one i posted earlier i have to copy the module section and for eg paste it here so it changes the program in the script plus the two other sections includes etc gui stuff detection section Module 1a Module 2a Module 3a Module 4a Module 5a [While loop] install stuff Module 1b Module 2b Module 3b <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Module 4b Module 5b update stuff Module 1c Module 2c Module 3c Module 4c Module 5c [End of while loop] Functions etc Overwriting the previous one this is not a healthy way because it has an high error factor So what i wondered is can i do it this way Main Script includes etc gui stuff detection section Module 1a Module 2a Using #includes Link to Module 3a Module 4a Module 5a [While loop] install stuff Module 1b Module 2b Using #includes Link to Module 3b Module 4b Module 5b update stuff Module 1c Module 2c Using #includes Link to Module 3c Module 4c Module 5c [End of while loop] Functions etc Module 3 script Module 3a Module 3b Module 3c $Module_1a ; <<<<<<<<<<<<< or should this be a function?? $CBoxStatDTL = GUICtrlRead($CBoxDTL) If $CBoxStatDTL = $GUI_CHECKED Then SplashTextOn(" Installing ", " DAEMON Tools Is Being Installed ", 300, 50, -1, -1, 0, "Tahoma", 10, 600) ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "\file_includes\down_daemon.exe", IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\file_includes\support\updates.ini", "DTL", "Switch_0", "Not Found")) Sleep(1500) SplashOff() GUICtrlSetData($DTL_check, "Up To Date") GUICtrlSetState($CBoxDTL, $GUI_UNCHECKED) ElseIf @error Then MsgBox(48, "Error", $DTL_name & " Install Failed", 2) EndIf Sleep(500) So the main script calls the others or the relevant parts when needed and requires no copy and paste And as an after thought when you compile do the includes get included within the exe? Does that make any sense? EDIT Yes its possible although i seem to have to Global all the variables in the module as that doesnt seem to carry across Ill have a play around with it and see what happens It would be usefull to know if the includes get included into the main script on compile though Edited October 9, 2011 by Chimaera If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.
