Pre and Post Package drop tests

[willwatters]

I run my autoit executable 2 times - 1st for a pre package drop test and 2nd for a post package drop test.

I have a variable called 'post' which I want to be able to store the value 0 for the first time it is run and 1 for the second time it is run so I can use it in an error log to state what errors occurred in pre (0) and post (1) package drop tests.

What is the code for this please?

Func Post()
While 1
Local $post_count = 0

; script

If $post_count = 0 Then
   $post_count = $post_count + 1
 ; script if need be
ElseIf $post = 1 Then
   $post_count = $post_count + 1
 ; script if need be
ElseIf $post_count = 2 Then
   $pos_count = 0
 ; script if need be
;maybe you want to repeat script
Endif
Sleep(100)
Wend

Using 2 to represent your "1".

Hope this is what you meant.

Edit: Had EndIf in wrong place

Edit2: Changed Variable name, and added sleep.

there are many ways to accomplish this. I believe you want to "store" the info 0 or 1. here is one way to accomplish this.

#include <file.au3>

Dim $post

Call("Drop_test")


; main program here


Func Drop_test()
    
If Not FileExists(@TempDir & "\drop.txt") Then
    $post = 0
    _FileWriteLog(@TempDir & "\drop.txt","Pre Post")
    Return
EndIf

If FileExists(@TempDir & "\drop.txt") Then
    $post = 1
    FileDelete(@TempDir & "\drop.txt")
EndIf
EndFunc

I think this will do what you want

Thanks! Does #include <file.au3> have to be entered and if so why?

Yes,

#include <file.au3> is required to use

_FileWriteLog

otherwise you would need file open, write file, and file close to accomplish the same thing

per help,

"The text file must be opened in write mode or the FileWrite command will fail"

For storing such information I always use regwrite and regread. easy, always seems to work, and no extra files accidentlly left on the system.
