Being able to read included file after compilation

[qwerz123]

Hello!

After yesterday thread i got 1 more question (or problem). I have a script that i dont want to share source code. But there must be 1 included (lets call "options") file so any people can write their own functions and variables and that file must read by my script. I compile the script but and after i became aware that after compilation my script will use only Options file that was at compiling time. So if after compiling i change variables and functions in Options - my script will not read them. I need a way to start my script in compiled mode and able to read Options.

One way to do this could be reading lines and putting to specific variables but file Options can be any length and consist of any functions and variables. So i don't know any other way to implement this.

Thank for your help and time!

qwerz123,

I'm not sure I completely grasp what you're looking for. It looks like you expect your users to write autoit functions and you'd like your code to execute them.

If it's autoit code I'd look at this UDF about running a function in another script and at this:

Good luck!

If it's a file that holds some variables for future use, you can use IniWrite() and IniRead(). Hardcode some IniWrite() lines at the beginning of the script to create the initial "options" file for the user

If Not FileExists($iniFile) Then _CreateIniFileFunction()

Another option is to utilize the registry with RegWrite() and RegRead().

Maybe you can read also something about A3X files.

It doesn't solve your problem but it may open your eyes about another posibilities.
