Use Variable as Line

[AcidCorps]

is it possible to store a line of code in a variable and then call it by just using the variable:

$Line1 = MsgBox(0,"Message","Line1"

then in to run MsgBox(0,"Message","Line1") I would only have to use $Line1

the point of this is so that I can store a segment of a code in an Ini File

$msg = "Hello World"

MsgBox(0,"",$msg)

What i need is for the variable to contain the whole command

$Msg = MsgBox(0,"","Message")

then to call it simply $Msg not MsgBox(0,"",$Msg)

When you're assigning a variable to a MsgBox all you're trying to do is get the return information on the button pressed. In the case of your MsgBox you've allowed for an OK button. If you were to check out what the variable is you would see that it's '1' meaning that the OK button was pressed. So to answer your question, no it can't be done.

You mean as far as you know it can't be done.

From the Autoit3 help

To execute a single line of code, use the command:

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"')

So in AcidCorps' case you would need

To execute a single line of code, use the command:

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine $Line1')

But you need to have first

$Line1 = "msgBox(0,'message','something')"

You would have to be careful in case $Line1 contained variables, so in this case I would format $Line1 first using StringFormat.

HI,

Global $scriptlines[2] = ['"consolewrite(""test"")"', '"MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"']

For $i = 0 To UBound($scriptlines) - 1
    Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  ' & $scriptlines[$i])
Next

So long,

Why would you call a messagebox from a messagebox?

I knew I should have caveated what I was saying knowing all too well someone would take the liberty to find an alternative solution. My correct reply should have been, "No it can't be done in the manner you desire. "

Perfect martin & Xenobiologist

Why would you call a messagebox from a messagebox?

It was just an example

[AcidCorps]

Ok so I tried running this as a function

$Line1 = MsgBox(0,"","Hello World!")
_RunVar($Line1)

Func _RunVar($iVar, $iOpt = 0)
    Global $scriptlines[2] = ['"consolewrite(""test"")"', '$iVar']
    For $i = 0 To UBound($scriptlines) - 1
    If $Opt = 0 Then Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  ' & $scriptlines[$i])
    If $Opt = 1 Then RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  ' & $scriptlines[$i])
Next
EndFunc

it runs fine showing MsgBox(0,"","Hellow World!") but then after it successfully runs it shows the fallowing error message

Line 1:

$iVar

Error: Expected a "=" operator in assignment statement.

Edit: Typo

Fixed:

$Line1 = Run("Notepad.exe")
_RunVar($Line1)

Func _RunVar($iVar)
    Global $scriptlines[2] = ['"consolewrite(""test"")"', '$iVar']
    For $i = 0 To UBound($scriptlines) - 1
    Next
EndFunc
