Script running script.

[jokke]

Is i possible to "read" a text file etc.. then parse it like a au3 script then run it as the script.

I'm thinking of writing a script witch writes itself.

A quick example on what i mean.

While 1
    $scriptlines = _FileCountLines('some.file')
    For $x = 1 To $scriptlines
        EXECUTE LINE HERE
    Next
WEnd

I would explain more if i could but i cant find the right words for it

All help appreciated

well i made somewhat what i needed, not fast when using a script witch run inn under 500ms, will then use about 500ms extra to execute it again script.

use this to test:

c:\somesctipt.txt >> ToolTip("Testing...", 0, 0)

c:\somesctipt.txt >> Sleep(500)

#include <misc.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <Process.au3>
Dim $innputfile = "C:\somescript.txt", $outputfile = "tempscript.au3", $outputpath = 'c:\', $line
Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)  

While 1
    
    $scriptlines = _FileCountLines($innputfile)
    If FileExists($outputpath&$outputfile) Then FileDelete($outputpath&$outputfile)
    For $x = 0 To $scriptlines
        $line = FileReadLine($innputfile,$x)
        FileWriteLine($outputpath&$outputfile,$line)
    Next    
    
    _FileWriteToLine($outputpath&$outputfile, 1, '#include "Misc.au3"'&@CRLF& _
                                                  'If _Singleton("tempscript\tempscript",1) = 0 Then'&@CRLF& _
                                                  ' Exit'&@CRLF& _
                                                  'EndIf'&@CRLF& _
                                                  '#NoTrayIcon', 0)
    
    _RunDos($outputpath&$outputfile)
    
WEnd

Basically what i want to do is creating a script where the loop is not inn the script itself, then im able to do changes on the fly, even when script is running (next loop is more correct)

From the help file for EXECUTE:

Remarks

Environment, Files, Dir, Disk, GUI, InputBox, MsgBox, Misc, Network, Obj/COM, Process, Registry, Tray, WinKill functions implying deletion or modification will not be executed. They will set @error to 9999 and return "".

Given the many limitations on what can be done that way, what's the point? Just put your function in a UDF and call it. What do you gain?
