Inter-script communication

[Quinch]

Is there a way for two uncompiled {or one compiled, the other not} to communicate directly with each other? For example;

• Script A waits for event X to happen
• A runs a ShellExecute on script B, passing information from X as a parameter
• A continues doing its thing, running in a loop and keeping an eye out for other events while B executes
• B completes and sends a result Y back to A
• A processes Y

I've been experimenting with ConsoleWrite/ConsoleRead, but haven't had much luck. Edited February 2, 2012 by Quinch

Did you search the forum for "ISC" or "inter script communication"?

A lot of solutions pop up.

Or "mailslot"

Wait, that's a thing? As in the actual name of what I was looking for?

Swing low, sweet irony....

Pretty much spot on.

And here it is:

I found this the other day. I'm sure it was this thread, anyway. Definately worth taking a look into. It might be an easy way to emulate multi-threading.
