Restart script in SciTe

[Marcelos]

Hi.

i really try to find how to restart a running script in SciTe , without success. ( may be the late hour)

i get the "Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop" when i run the script with F5 . but unable to restart the script with CTRL-Alt-F5

thanks

What version of AutoIt and SciTe are you using? In the latest version, on both WIN7 and WIN8, it works fine for me.

Works fine here ..  show your script that would block this operation.

Hi

thaks for the fast answer :-)

the version is Version 3.3.0 for SciTe and v3.3.8.1 for autoit.

i use win7.

when i run any script in the scite, with F5 , or "go" , i cand use the ctrl+alt+F5 to stop and restart

i need to use ctrl+Break , and F5 :-)

regards

As Jos asked, please post your script so we can see what is blocking the restart.

[Marcelos]

Any script. this is not script related.

if you tell me that this works for all of you , then something in my computer needs to be done.

thanks

ex.

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 10) ; which is similar to 2 + 8 (erase + create dir)

If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

FileClose($file)

My understanding of the restart function was that it will restart a running script, your example ends before you could restart it. Try this, which restarts just fine for me.

HotKeySet("{F1}", "count")

Global $x = 0

While 1
    $x += 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd


Func count()
    MsgBox(0, "", $x)
EndFunc

still the same behaviour.

im checking if i have an application using that hotkesys

thanks

[Jos]

Try this script and hit Ctrl+Alt+F5 to restart in stead of "ctrl+Break , and F5" you specified!

For $x = 1 To 100
    Sleep(1000)
Next

OK. i solved the mistery.

there is something in the way that SciTE does the Restart (ctrl-alt-F5) that invokes the keys CTRL+Break.

since in my computer (Lenovo T430) the break key was eliminated, then the scite restart scrpt dont work :-(

thanks all for your interest

The way that the script is restarted with Ctrl+Alt+F5 is done by AutoIt3Wrapper, it sets a hotkey for that combination, and if you press it it does a processclose on the running script and then just reruns the script the same way it started it the first time. No ctrl-break used.

I have the same problem with AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.2.0.3, SciTE v.3.4.1.0 and autoit 3.3.11.6 (or 3.3.12.0)

No script restarts.

This simple script:

local $i=0
while 1
    ConsoleWrite($i)
    $i +=1
    sleep(1000)
WEnd

doesn't restart

I found anyway in the Menu Tools the line:

SyntaxCheck Beta with the same Ctrl+Alt+F5

Could it be that?

But I changed it in au3.properties and nothing happens.

Agree I've picked the "wrong" shortcut here by using the same as shortcut as defined for "Syntaxcheck Beta", but when taking your script and running it in SciTE, the Ctrl+Alt+F5 works fine for restarting the script every time.

So, what could I do to make the restart work?

The only thing I did from default, was changing the au3Check with the latest version.

I tried also to reinstall the package, but nothing...

[frank10]

I solved it changing line 1065 in the AutoIt3Wrapper.au3:

HotKeySet('^!{F6}', 'Run_the_Script')

(and line 1085):
 

ConsoleWrite('--> Press Ctrl+Alt+F6 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop' & @CRLF)

and compiling the wrapper again.

But I don't know why it didn't work with F5...

Anyway, solved it.

I have already made the change for the next version to use "Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart" to avoid any conflict and just uploaded it to the Beta directory.

[frank10]

Thank you Jos.

I'm a fan of error checking and therefore propose to change the line

HotKeySet('^!{BREAK}', 'Run_the_Script')

to

If Not HotKeySet('^!{BREAK}', 'Run_the_Script') Then ConsoleWrite('*** Hotkeyset Error *** Hotkey Ctrl+Break already set.' & @CRLF)
