aLimey Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to convert a complex batch file to an AutoIt script? Is it as simple as copy and paste and does it take command line variables? Cheers! Edited August 20, 2013 by aLimey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au3Builder Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 rather not,but u can use fileinstall function to unpack bat file to temp folder + set hidden attribute Then run this file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchd Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Au3Builder, That's not what I call converting, which is what the OP asks about. So yes, you can convert a batch file into AutoIt but that doesn't forcibly boils down to map DOS commands to AutoIt counterparts. You need to analyse what the batch actually does and uses to devise an equivalent AutoIt script. Hopefully, AutoIt offers much more power and flexible functions than the DOS shell.

NewPlaza Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I agree with jchd here. AutoIt would provide much more functions & flexible scripting then DOS bat/cmd files. Post the code of the batch file. I'm sure we can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au3Builder Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) there is new idea , run batch file and read from streams using StdoutRead alternatively stringinstr as well but of course autoit is richer than cmd ,there is no doubt and can replace it completely Edited August 21, 2013 by Au3Builder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
