run *.au3 script from AutoIt script

[Dirk98]

Guys, is there a command, similar to RUN(), that can launch *.au3 scripts?

SchellExecute() opens the script in the editor on my system. But I need to run the script istead. I know I can compile it first, but for convenience I need to keep the 2nd script uncompiled in the *.au3 form.

Thanks.

/AutoIt3ExecuteScript

Edit:

But from SciTE you could just choose the F5 option.

ShellExecute("script.au3","Run")

ShellExecute("script.au3","Run")

Nahuel, this one OPENS in the editor, not runs it, unfortunately.

SmokeOn, could you please say it again:

/AutoIt3ExecuteScript

- I can't find it.

haha, sorry.. I got to start testing my scripts before posting them. Try these:

ShellExecute("Notas de Escritorio.au3","","","Run")

ShellExecute("Notas de Escritorio.au3","","","Edit")

With /AutoIt3ExecuteScript, there is no need for AutoIt to be installed on the end users computer as it is with the ShellExecute Method.

You could send an AutoIt exe you made, and run scripts off that one exe as much as you wanted with the command line /AutoIt3ExecuteScript

Here are some examples in the Examples forum of use:

Here's an example:

_RunAu3AsExe('SOMESCRIPT.AU3')

;Be sure to add a space before any param string
Func _RunAu3AsExe($hFileIn, $strParams = "", $sWorkingDir = "", $sShowHide = @SW_HIDE, $nSTDOut = 0);Returns PID of newly spawned exe
    Return Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & _
                $hFileIn & '"' & $strParams, $sWorkingDir, $sShowHide, $nSTDOut)

Awesome. Could be useful to use as some sort of 'extension' for your apps. And no need for Autoit installed you say? Cool.
