2) how to make a main script run a secondary script.

1)

for $I = 1 to 50
;Code that loops 50 times.
next

The variable $I is increased on each loop. It starts at 1 and continues to 50. If you want to know what number it is at...

you just use variable $I.

It doesn't have to be $I though, it could be $Whatever. For $Whatever = -30 to 2

You see?

2)

run("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt.exe", "TheScriptPath", @SW_HIDE)

thank, the loop part worked great. but i cant get the secondary script to run i keep getting errors. so i compiled the secondary script to an exe. and that works. but when i try to run more than 1 secondary script they all run at once.

Did you try RunWait?

RunWait(@AutoItEXE & ' "C:\Path\To\Script.au3"')

Edit: If your secondary script resides in the same directory as the primary one:

RunWait(@AutoItEXE & ' "' & @ScriptDir & '\Script.au3"')
