reverse a string in another script

[legend]

Hi. Lets say I got 2 scripts, is it possible to make script1 reverse a string in script2?

I tried something like this:

#include 


_WinAPI_FileReverse(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt", @ScriptDir & "\kk.txt")
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\kk.txt")

Func _WinAPI_FileReverse($sFile, $sNewFile) ;coded by UEZ build 2012-10-04
If Not FileExists($sFile) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
Local $iFileSize = FileGetSize($sFile)
If $iFileSize > 4294967296 Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) ; 4294967296 = 2^32
If $sNewFile = "" Then Return SetError(3, 0, 0)
Local $hFile= _WinAPI_CreateFile($sFile, 2, 2, 2), $iBytes, $p, $bNewData
If Not $hFile Then Return SetError(4, 0, 0)
Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $iFileSize & "]")
Local $tBuffer_new = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $iFileSize & "]")
_WinAPI_SetFilePointer($hFile, 0, $FILE_BEGIN)
_WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer), $iFileSize, $iBytes)
_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
Local $bData = DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1)
For $p = $iFileSize To 1 Step - 1
$bNewData &= Hex(BinaryMid($bData, $p, 1), 2)
Next
DllStructSetData($tBuffer_new, 1, Binary("0x" & $bNewData))
$hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($sNewFile, 1, 4, 4)
If Not $hFile Then Return SetError(5, 0, 0)
_WinAPI_WriteFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer_new), $iFileSize, $iBytes)
_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
$tBuffer = 0
$tBuffer_new = 0
Return 1
EndFunc

but that will reverse the whole file, I only want to reverse a string in the file

There is _StringReverse, but I'm not following your overall request. Where is the string displayed? GUI? Text file?

this is probably totally wrong, but this is what i'm trying to do, reverse the string in another au3 script:

test1.au3:

#include <String.au3>
#include <test2.au3>

$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "2.au3", 1)
_StringReverse($test)
FileClose($file)

test2.au3:

$test = "this is a test"

Your test1.au3 is wrong. I would suggest reading the help file about FileOpen, FileRead and FileClose and then come back here if you have problems. Also the question remains why do you want to reverse an Au3 file?

You have to load the file, find the string, reverse the string and finally write it to a file or display it.

Maybe something like this here:

#include <String.au3>
;~ $String = FileRead(@scriptdir & "2.au3")
$String = '$test = "this is a test"' & @CRLF & "$test2 = 'next line'"

MsgBox(0, "Test", SearchNReverse($String, "this is a test"))

Func SearchNReverse($sInput, $sSearch)
    Local $iPos = StringInStr($sInput, $sSearch)
    If Not $iPos Then Return SetError(0, 0, "")
    Local $sResult = StringReplace($sInput, $sSearch,  _StringReverse(StringMid($sInput, $iPos, StringLen($sSearch))))
    Return $sResult
EndFunc
