EnvSet("MYVAR") really? I can see no way to use this and I need it

[meows]

After months and months of work I hit the brain dead space. I think I lost 99.83 percent of my brain power. And then this EnvSet("MYVAR") 

How do you use it?

I need to run a exe in the directory above the current directory.

Current @Script dir = C:00new

Need To run a file in this   C:00new00Au directory. and for 3 days now I for the life of me forgot everything ! C:00new00Au

I try

$s2filepath = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "$s2filepath") 
FileChangeDir($s2filepath&"\")
EnvUpdate
Run("\0Rosewd6x32_2.exe")


and 
$s2filepath = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "$s2filepath")
Run(@comspec & " /c cd_UP_one.bat","",@SW_HIDE)
and


;MsgBox features: Title=Yes, Text=Yes, Buttons=Yes and No, Icon=Question
;If Not IsDeclared("iMsgBoxAnswer") Then Local $iMsgBoxAnswer
;$iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(36,"Add Shortcut?","Add Desktop Shortcut?", @ScriptDir )
;Select
; Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6 ;Yes
;Run(@comspec & " /c cd_UP_one.bat","",@SW_HIDE)


; Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 7 ;No
;Run("cd_UP_one.bat")

And Now we get to the Junk pile.. just stuff tried.. that failed./

And Now we get to the Junk pile.. just stuff tried.. that failed./
Func startnewfile()
;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Template10", "tRegister startnewfile.  All is going well.")
;Local $s2filepath = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
;IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", $s2filepath)
;FileChangeDir($s2filepath)
;EnvUpdate
;Global $s2filepath
;Local $sDir = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
;IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", $sDir)
;Run(@comspec & " /c nircmd.exe exec 0Rosewd6x32_2.exe","",@SW_HIDE)


;Run(@comspec & " /c takeit.bat","",@SW_HIDE)
;Run ("takeit.bat")
;OnAutoItExitUnRegister ( "startnewfile" )
;GUIDelete()
;Exit

Just totally lost and confused. I forgot how to run a exe in a directory below where you are at..

How about a pointer please//

And whats the deal with EnvSet? if i can't use it like  EnvSet($aValue) but EnvSet("MYVAR") does not compute.

Well that was fast.. See you post a query and like magic a answer suddenly is visible you did not see for the last week.

Quote

In an AutoIt script, other scripts can be included using the #include" command.

If "..." is used, the filename is taken to be relative to the current script.

#include<funca.au3> must be placed in the running autoit versions include folder

Even though the Thanks is 9years late, Thanks to Valuater My problem is fixed. 

I used the Include!

#include <File.au3>
#include "0Rosewd6x32_2.au3"
Global $s2filepath
;OnAutoItExitRegister("startnewfile")


$s2filepath = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "$s2filepath")
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\template10.exe",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\REN.bat",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\Movesetup.exe",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\0Rosewd6x32_2.au3",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\Programsettings.ini",$s2filepath)
Sleep(3000)
FileDelete("0Rosewd6x32_2.au3")
FileChangeDir($s2filepath&"\")
EnvUpdate
EnvUpdate
Run("\0Rosewd6x32_2.au3")
GUIDelete()
Exit
;EndFunc

#include <File.au3>
#include "0Rosewd6x32_2.au3"
Global $s2filepath
;OnAutoItExitRegister("startnewfile")

$s2filepath = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "")
IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Programsettings.ini", "Filepaths", "SetupDir", "$s2filepath")
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\template10.exe",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\REN.bat",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\Movesetup.exe",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\0Rosewd6x32_2.au3",$s2filepath)
FileCopy(@ScriptDir&"\Programsettings.ini",$s2filepath)
Sleep(3000)
FileDelete("0Rosewd6x32_2.au3")
FileChangeDir($s2filepath&"\")
EnvUpdate
EnvUpdate
Run("\0Rosewd6x32_2.au3")
GUIDelete()
Exit
;EndFunc

OK yes read it and read it again.

and it is greek

  EnvSet("MYVAR", "This is some text!")


    ; Retrieve the environment variable that was just assigned a value previously.
    Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("MYVAR")

so to use EnvSet which could be a extreemly powerful tool. you have to make the user use "This is some text!" for a sub directory name.

I rest my case.

[iamtheky]

Are you trying to set that path to the %path% (so you call the exe by name like 'notepad.exe')?   like the envupdate example?

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("PATH")

    EnvSet("PATH", $sEnvVar & ";" & "C:\00new\00Au\")

    EnvUpdate()

    $sEnvVar = EnvGet("PATH")

    MsgBox(0, "", "The environment variable %PATH% has the value of: " & $sEnvVar)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Fyi, envset does not actually set environment variables on the host system.

Sure it does:

EnvSet("MYVAR", "Hello!")

Run(@ComSpec & " /k echo %MYVAR%")

... it's just restricted to the running script and things spawned by it, and ceases to exist when the script exits. See the remark in EnvSet's help file.

Yeah, that's what I meant
