Compiling through script

[Shinies]

Hey, ive searched the forums for a bit and couldnt find anything usefull on compiling a script manually through another script. Is this possible? Basically what i want is to turn a .au3 into a .exe by running another script.

I dont know if you can compile scripts via a CMD promt window, but if you can then yes... Just execute the command. And again, I dont know how to do that, but start off by looking to see if you can compile a script using CMD prompt.

Is this what you want to do (from the help file)?

Compiling Scripts with Aut2Exe

Method 3 - The Command Line

The Aut2Exe.exe program can be run from the command line as follows:

Aut2exe.exe /in <infile.au3> [/out <outfile.exe>] [/icon <iconfile.ico>] [/nodecompile] [/comp 0-4] [/pass <passphrase>]

Long filenames should be enclosed in double-quotes like "C:\Program Files\Test\test.au3". If no "out" file is given the input filename is used with a .exe extension.

Would you enter that code into a cmd prompt, or in the actual source code?

Sorta like this in your script:

$FileToCompile = 'Script.au3'
RunWait("Aut2exe.exe /in " & $FileToCompile)
