TheSaint Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hello peoples, I just have a little query (not queerie)! I believe I heard that every AutoIt compiled script (.exe), has the AutoIt executable imbedded in it? If this is true, is it therefor possible to call this to run an external .au3 file? How if so? In other words run a .au3 script on a machine where AutoIt isn't installed? The scenario would be useful, where you create a temporary script file (.au3) to run, then delete it afterwards. How I personally would like to use this kind of ability, would be where you store the content of a possible file in an .ini file as a variable, which can be updated/modified as the user requires. An executable being a finalized form does not have this ability to change - only mildly through variables, that while maybe stored in an .ini file, cannot drastically change the exe's complete behaviour. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said. Spoiler What is the Secret Key? Life is like a Donut If I put effort into communication, I expect you to read properly & fully, or just not comment. Ignoring those who try to divert conversation with irrelevancies. If I'm intent on insulting you or being rude, I will be obvious, not ambiguous about it. I'm only big and bad, to those who have an over-active imagination. I may have the Artistic Liesense to disagree with you.

Uten Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just remember that your script can't include files that is not on the machine.. Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just remember that your script can't include files that is not on the machine..Of course not. Then no includes exist. The compiled script can find a include folder when inside the AutoIt directory as relative search is used so may follow the same outside the install directory so long as you have a include folder still next to it. You can use a3x files to be sure if includes are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi UtenJust remember that your script can't include files that is not on the machine..Yeah I'll have to ponder on that some, as my original intention was just for simple scripts ... though of course, that will be up to the end user ... I may have to give them a double warning - 1) not to do it, and 2) warn if the word include is detected at creation time!THANKS for the advice! When I get some space to post my Toolbar program, you'll get to see what I wanted it for - sort of a mini version of trialing a script - somewhat like you can in Scite. At the moment it looks for the AutoIt exe, but I can ammend that now! Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said.
