2 autoit scripts "talking"

[Skrip]

2 scripts "talk" sending information to one another.

Like if in script 1 $msg = 1 and in script 2 $msg = 0 then script 1 will send the $msg varible to script 2, then in script 2 $msg = 1

Is it possible to make this? If so, please explain....

I did something like this recently using the i/o capability and the console.

take a look at the thread:

This link seems to be broken, I'll try again below:

I also send you a link to the files:

Hope this helps

I still get a broken link.

I entitled the topic as

"input/output, applications that communicate with each other"

do a search in v3 Support and it'll find it for you.

I've had nobody interested in the subject, so I'm really keen to get this boosted.

The above only works if the 1st app runs the second.

If this is not the case, then you can always get app1 to write a txt file somewhere like temp directory and app2 to read that file's contents.

This involves reading writing which makes the entire thing inefficient. It's a lot better to rely on the console and i/o.

If I'm reading correctly, use the ConsleWrite() and ConsoleRead() functions?

[Richard Robertson]

Just use an INI file where both can access it.

There are a number of ways you can do this as you've seen from the number of suggestions.

INI

Any kind of data file that you parse out

Registry

Console

TCPSend/Recv -- If you will for sure have a network connection

The best option I think would be ConsoleRead/Write.

Thanks Ivan, works great.

Glad to be able to help someone. I usually am on the requesting dire assistance side of things.
