Compile a script from a compiled script (exe)

[TheSaint]

I'm aware of /AutoIt3ExecuteScript parameter and have used it successfully from a compiled script. What I want to do now (if possible), is to compile a script from my original compiled script, not run it. This of course must work on a machine that does not have AutoIt available.

In other words can my compiled script, compile another script (i.e. one it created)?

go to the help file and search on the word compile

then look at method 3 under "Compiling Scripts with Aut2Exe" entitled "The Command Line"

File install Aut2exe via your main script.

Create your au3 file to be compiled via your main script.......

Thanks 'herewasplato',

I'm aware of all that, but that means I must include another file (Aut2exe) to do the job.

I was hoping that the compiled script could compile as well as run another script - maybe using another parameter similar to /AutoIt3ExecuteScript or somesuch.

I figured that if it can run a script using /AutoIt3ExecuteScript (without AutoIt being on the system), then maybe it could compile it too?

Hi,

if you want to compile you need the compiler - so ... !

So long,

Thanks 'herewasplato',

I'm aware of all that,...

You are welcome.

I was not aware that you were aware of all of that :-)

I do not think that the compiler is included within each compiled script.

Thanks Mega

So you are saying that a compiled script (exe) does not have any compiler code in it - it can run another script, but it cannot compile it without using another file (Aut2Exe).

I was hoping that @AutoItExe had some other parameters like the above mentioned and /AutoIt3ExecuteLine.
