Compile a script inside a script...

[BrettF 24]

How can i create a program that will create a script, using inputs, and then compiles it into an exe. Would i just make it type the whole script and then use aut2exe to compile it or is there an easier way??

Well one way would be to send the code to a text file, saving it as ".au3" and using a console window to compile using Aut2Exe

Is there an easier way rather than 1 line at a time??

FileInstall maybe.

A "console window" Is not needed.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...showtopic=22531 shows making an au3 via another script. It does not happen to use inputs from the user, but that should not be that hard to add. You could use FileInstall to place most of the au3 on the hard drive and then StringReplace to change only those lines that you want. Edited January 8, 2007 by herewasplato

Yes, that is the link that I meant to send you to. It shows how to have one script write another script.

Not shown in that link is how to compile it from within the main script - but that is easy.

Maybe I do not understand your question.

On closer closer inspection, it dose acutually do that. :"> Thanks.

Depending on how many things you have to change, lauching a script from within a script and using the command line options to pass the variables into the child script might also work for you.
