Create a Procedure

[System Tester]

Hi.

Great forum, I've managed to do almost everything I need by following various examples.

I'm a little stuck now :-( I'll explain.....

I'm writing a system test script. The script needs to be applied to several sets of test data, so I seperated the data from the script. The data is held in autoIT scripts, of the form

datafile

$MyVar1="data"

$MyVar2="data"

...and so on.

The test script uses these variables to execute. Works fine - For one set of test data!

eg.

#include<datafile1>

#include<testscript>

Now, I want to run the test script many times, against different datafiles

eg

#include<datafile1>

#include<testscript>

#include<datafile2>

#include<testscript>

#include<datafile3>

#include<testscript>

I KNOW this ain't gonna work! I don't think a function is the beast to use, and I can't

compile an .EXE as the data is going to change for each invocation.

I want a top-level script that has the effect...

read datafile1

run script

read datafile2

run script

Thanks.

I'm close.... Just got to get the parameters passed correctly.

run(@AutoItExe & " Germany11_1RESIDENTIALNAME+ADDRESS.au3")

run(@AutoItExe & " PORTAL_TEST.au3")

OK! sussed it.

Make the test script a function.

In the executing script, Include the test script, include the test data, call the function.

include more data, call the function again.

Simple. Dunno why I had so much bovver!
