Need help with something simple

[lolp1]

I'm fairly new to Auto-It and I'm looking for some help on this issue.

Here is what I need to do.

In my script there is a code like this..

Run [FILE LOCATION HERE}

I need to have a user friendly way to be able to change the FILE LOCATION HERE area.

EG: Like a .ini I guess, they have a folder with some thing like

;Here you can change what program to run

[1] {PROGRAM LOCATION JERE}

What ever they fill in there, That's what I would like the source to open.

How can I do this>

HI,

you can create a FileOpenDialog and then RUN the file given back with your command.

So long,

Mega

$var = FileOpenDialog("Choose a file", "C:\Windows\", "All (*.*)", 1 + 2 )

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen")
Else
    $var = StringReplace($var, "|", @CRLF)
    MsgBox(4096,"","You chose " & $var)
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c start ' & $var, '', @SW_HIDE)
EndIf

Thanks for the fast reply, but that makes it so they have to edit the actual sourc correct?

Also, the script is ment to run mutible program.

Here is a little exsample..

Run("C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet")

sleep(18000)

WinMove("Diablo II", "", 1, 1,)

There will be four of those lines.

I need a .ini file like this

; Here, you can choose the paths of your diablo II to be opend..

Location #1= C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

Location #2 = C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

Location #3= C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

Location #4= C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

What ever they fill in here "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet""

Is what I would like it to open.

I know I know.... I'm a beginer at auto-it:(

Check the help file for IniRead() and IniReadSection(). Create an .ini file with a section like this:

[Diablo Locations]
Location_1= C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet
Location_2 = D:\Program Files\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet
Location_3= C:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet
Location_4= E:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet

Then you read them out with:

$D2_Ini = "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\DiabloLocations.ini"
$asD2Locs = IniReadSection($D2_Ini, "Diablo Locations")

The 2D array in $$asD2Locs now contains all the options in that section. In this example:

$asD2Locs[0][0] = 4

$asD2Locs[2][0] = "Location_2"

$asD2Locs[2][1] = "D:\Program Files\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

What do you mean by this section of your post.

CODE: AutoIt

$D2_Ini = "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\DiabloLocations.ini"

$asD2Locs = IniReadSection($D2_Ini, "Diablo Locations")

The 2D array in $$asD2Locs now contains all the options in that section. In this example:

$asD2Locs[0][0] = 4

$asD2Locs[2][0] = "Location_2"

$asD2Locs[2][1] = "D:\Program Files\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

What do you mean by this section of your post.

$D2_Ini = "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\DiabloLocations.ini"
$asD2Locs = IniReadSection($D2_Ini, "Diablo Locations")

The 2D array in $$asD2Locs now contains all the options in that section. In this example:

$asD2Locs[0][0] = 4

$asD2Locs[2][0] = "Location_2"

$asD2Locs[2][1] = "D:\Program Files\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe -w -skiptobnet"

It was meant to be an example of how you could accomplish what you wanted to do with an .ini file. There is a two line code fragment that sets the variable $D2_Ini to the location of the .ini file, then reads the [Diablo Locations] section of the .ini into a 2-dimensional array variable called $asD2Locs. Once you have read that section into the array, you can use it to make a list of choices for the user on a GUI.

If none of that made sense, you might want to sit down with the AutoIT 123 tutorial. Won't take you long to figure it out.

Or, maybe I missed the point of question?
