zasxes 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Is there a way to have 2 scripts running and have them use variables that are set in only one script? For instance: Script one: $VAR = 0 While 1 $VAR = $VAR+1 Wend Script two: While 1 $GETVAR1=$VAR Sleep 10000 $GETVAR2=$VAR If $GETVAR1 = $GETVAR2 then do something endif Wend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jos 1,491 Posted May 25, 2004 You could use an INI file.. Check out INIWRITE and INIREAD....

trids 2 Posted May 26, 2004 Now THERE's a good idea .. yes, we could have AutoItWinSetValue and AutoItWinGetValue .. Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutster 3 Posted June 5, 2004 How? Named pipes? File Semephores? Temp files? Get from where? Send to where? What if more than two processes were running and wanting to share information? Hmm, a named pipe could work... I will investigate on the weekend.The process that sends the value would create the pipe and put the result of the expression on it, and close/forget its end of it. The other process would look for the pipe with a timeout. If no value was forthcoming in time, set @Error to 6 for example. If it finds the pipe, take the value, close the pipe entirely and return the value.Oh, yeah, this is UNIX feature. I don't know if Windows allows this. Oh, well I know how to find out.Hopefully,AutoItWinSetValue("Pipe Name", <exp[b][/b]ression>) $x=AutoItWinGetValue("Pipe Name") David NuttallNuttall Computer ConsultingAn Aquarius born during the Age of AquariusAutoIt allows me to re-invent the wheel so much faster.I'm off to write a wizard, a wonderful wizard of odd...

Valik 472 Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) David, yes, Window's has named (and unamed) pipes. I've not used them, though. Thought about using them in a project... but I've not actually started that project so I've not done any reading on them.Edit: I should also mention that I wouldn't mind seeing pipes so that there could be interprocess communication in a very clean way.

CyberSlug 3 Posted June 5, 2004 In my opinion, this is how EnvSet and EnvGet should work. Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutster 3 Posted June 7, 2004 True, but the environment is inherited from one process to its children. Named pipes can be used by anybody, related or not; you just have to know the name of the pipe. Unnamed pipes are also parent/child communication only.
