chain command ?

[Laine]

I know there isn't 'chain' command specifically.

I also know I could compile a script and run it.

What I have is a large switch statement. I could conceive where some of the case's could get ugly.

I was exploring the idea of having the case call a seperate script instead of a function within the already large script.

Mainly for clarity but if such a thing is possible I'd have to see how the speed holds up.

In this instance I have no need to pass or recieve data between scripts.

func start($xfile)
run(@comspec & " /c start " FileGetShortName($xfile), @SW_HIDE)
endfunc

I'm guessing that won't work

$xfile=@ScriptDir & "\RemoteButtonAux1.au3"

Case 1

run(@comspec & " /c start " FileGetShortName($xfile), @SW_HIDE)

...I also know I could compile a script and run it...

So... what is your question? Do you need the syntax to have a script call an au3 script? See this post: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=101407

There are many ways to do that... :-)

Since you mentioned the Switch statement as to using AutoIt Beta.

This small UDF should be fine to run another Au3 file from your script.

Func _RunScriptBeta($script, $parameter = '')
    ; Run a Au3 file when compiled or uncompiled. (> v3.1.1.102 beta)
    If FileExists($script) Then
        Return Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $script & '" ' & $parameter)
    EndIf
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndFunc

Thanks MHz,

That did what I was looking for.

Func HandleIt()

; MsgBox(0, "Received Packet",$RemoteKey)

For $i=1 To $Keys[0]

If $Keys[$i] = $RemoteKey Then ExitLoop

Next

If $i > $Keys[0] Then

MsgBox(0, "Switch loop Error", "No match found for remote key.")

Return 0

EndIf

Switch $i

Case 1

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptDir&"\button1.au3" & '" ')

-------------------------------------------------------

I found the /AutoIt3ExecuteScript switch is not tolerant of a missing leading or trailing space.
