Does purebasic have registry commands? Teach me them so I may help you.

i want to put my 2 cents in even though you got it figured out.

with program2... that is your purebasic program.

i would add something to that program, that would place the variables you want to save into a .txt file.

then...

what i would do, is have a function like this in the autoit script.

;SOME CODE HERE IF YOU WANT

AdLibEnable("P2ended")

;YOUR AUTOIT

;SCRIPT IN

;HERE

AdLibDisable()

AutoItWinSetTitle("shutdown")

While ProcessExists("program2.exe")

Sleep(100)

WEnd

:THE REST OF YOUR SCRIPT AFTER YOU HAVE THE INFO FROM PROGRAM 2

Func P2ended()

If Not ProcessExists("program2.exe") Then ;READ THE VAR'S FROM THE .TXT FILE

EndFunc

well, thats my 2 cents. you would'nt have to even TOUCH the registry this way.

might make it more compatible on more computers with regedit rights disabled.

EDIT: i just wanted to also mention, even when using AUTOIT alone, you cannot pass variables between 2 seperate scripts. especially not between 2 seperate scripting languages.

but this way allows you to. and i just added the functionality of having it know when the other program was finished, because thats what you asked for i think. send variables to autoit FROM the SECOND program after it ends... right?
