Guest aallison Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have a master script that executes other script exes. The master uses a config file and runs all exes in a particular directory. I would like to have the master and batch tests communicate in order to be able to compile a report, but I can't get global variables or environment variables to work. E.g., ;In master script... EnvSet("TestStatus", "No Run") RunWait($NextTestEXEPath);This script will set the status var to "Pass" MsgBox(0,"TestStatus",EnvGet("TestStatus");This still shows "No Run" The example above works the same if I try to use a 'global' variable in a commonly loaded file as well. I can't get the communication to work. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekster Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 You'll want to use the AutoItWinSetTitle and AutoItWinGetTitle functions. Each running AutoIt script has one of these hidden windows that you can detect, so set this for communication between running scripts. An example:Main Script;some code here ;... ;... AutoItWinSetTitle("Main: Waiting");set waiting text WinWait("Child1: ");wait for the child to give us a responce $responce = WinGetTitle("Child1: ");get the full text of the child's window AutoItWinSetTitle("Main: Child1 recieved");let the child know we have the data AutoItWinSetTitle("AutoIt v3");reset the title so further children don't get confused ;do something with the responce belowChild Script;some code here ;... ;... ;now that we've done what we need, set the message to return: AutoItWinSetTitle("Child1: success");set our message for the main script WinWait("Main: Child1 recieved");wait for the main script to recieve our message Exit [font="Optima"]"Standing in the rain, twisted and insane, we are holding onto nothing.Feeling every breath, holding no regrets, we're still looking out for something."[/font]Note: my projects are off-line until I can spend more time to make them compatable with syntax changes.
