Auto Increment file version value each time when Scite "Go" script

[maniootek]

Is it possible to put some version number in script and auto increment every time when Scite run command "Go" ?

[Subz]

Only when you compile, you could write a value to registry or file which read/writes the version.

Ok I see. I will share my story why I need it.

I never compile my scripts to exe because my scripts are shared via google drive with others. If I would use compiled exe file then I would have problems with synchronization when I want to modify it as some others could use that file at the time. This is why I use some exe launcher instead which use AutoIt3.exe and au3 file as a parameter to run. This way I always can modify au3 file without synchronization issues.

For now I use variable "Global $g_ScripVersion = 1.0" but I forget to increase it when I making some changes

After you've made changes, just compile the script, it will change the version number in the script, you then just upload the au3 script to Google Drive.

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0.0.1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion_AutoIncrement=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

Yes I know this option and I have tried it but it's not what I mean. This way I have to remember to compile a script that I never normally do.

Don't really understand since if others run the script it will also auto increment the count, the only way I can think of doing it, would be something like:

Global $g_ScripVersion = 1.1
_VersionUpdate()

Func _VersionUpdate()
    If @UserName = "maniootek" Then
        ;~ Backup your script first
        FileCopy(@ScriptFullPath, @ScriptDir & "\Backup\" & @YEAR & @MON & @MDAY & "_" & @ScriptName, 9)
        ;~ Replace the version number
        $sScript = StringReplace(FileRead(@ScriptFullPath), "$g_ScripVersion = " & Round($g_ScripVersion, 1), "$g_ScripVersion = " & Round($g_ScripVersion + .1, 1))
        ;~ Open the Script
        FileOpen(@ScriptFullPath, 2)
        ;~ Rewrite the updated Script
        FileWrite(@ScriptFullPath, $sScript)
        FileClose(@ScriptFullPath)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Something like this could do that for you:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=test.gif
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.2.3.11
OnAutoItExitRegister("Update_Version")

ConsoleWrite("...end of script" & @CRLF)

Func Update_Version()
    $ToTalFile = FileRead(@ScriptFullPath)
    $CurVersion = StringRegExpReplace($ToTalFile, '(?ims).*?#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion\h*?=\h*?(\S*).*+', '$1')
    $verseg = StringSplit($CurVersion, ".")
    $NewVersion = ""
    For $x = 1 To $verseg[0]
        ; add 1 to last number in version
        If $x = $verseg[0] Then $verseg[$x] += 1
        If $x > 1 Then $NewVersion &= "."
        $NewVersion &= $verseg[$x]
    Next
    $ToTalFile = StringRegExpReplace($ToTalFile, '(?i)#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion\h*?=\h*?' & $CurVersion, '#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=' & $NewVersion)
    $H_Outf = FileOpen(@ScriptFullPath, 2)
    FileWrite($H_Outf, $ToTalFile)
    FileClose($H_Outf)
EndFunc   ;==>Update_Version

Yes, you are right. This is why I am looking for other solution than you and @Jos suggested.

Users who use my scripts don't use Scite but the launcher. I am also using scripts with the launcher.
I want increase the script version only when I modify the code with Scite for example.

[Subz]

If you noticed my script, uses your username to update the code, so if someone else ran it, it wouldn't update, this could also be added to Jos solution.

Just add a test to the logic for something that identifies it is you ...  this really can't be that hard.  

[maniootek]

As I stated, I am also using that launcher I mentioned before. Your solution will update script version each time I use the script.

Maybe you could check the parent process that launched Autoit. If your launcher app, do nothing. If Scite, then increment your script version.

I know what you mean. This is good idea. Later I will check it

As I said...
