Newbie question, but how does AutoIT read the script?

[MrMax]

So I got this script with Some while, some Ifs and some functions.

I am curious how AutoIT reads them? Can autoIT read two segments of a script file at the same time or does it only go through step by step?

Like for example If I do something like this:

example()

example2()

Func example

while

----Some code here

wend

endfunc

func example2

While

---Some code here

wend

endfunc

My question is basically, if I call "example" will autoIT only read within the functions While-Wend or will it also execute Example2 and read those while/wends at the same time?

Maybe my explanation is bad, if so ill try and correct it.

Thanks for any answers.

What do yo mean by "read"? AutoIt executes statement by statement.

When you start a script the directives (#include etc.) are executed first then the rest of the script is executed/run step by step.

The answer to your question is 'no'.

Until the Example() loop has exited - the script will not execute Example2()

Thanks, as I thought

Q. Do you want both these to run at same time?

[MrMax]

MouseSpotter, Is that possible to execute two functions at the same time without running it as two separate scripts?

In short: No

Pseudo parallel by using AdLibRegister. Stops execution every x miliseconds to execute a function and then return to the main script.

It is as water has stated - you can simulate parallel execution using AdLibRegister.

Simply remove the While conditions in you first script and add AdLibRegister calls instead.

In other words - AutoIt is single threaded.

Most excellent, I will try AdLibRegister out.

Thanks bunches
