Compiler Command line

[JustinReno]

I'm creating a program requiring the use of the AutoIt Compiler.

I'm trying to use it through _RunDos

Like This:

_RunDos("Aut2exe.exe /in <temp.au3> /out <blah.exe>")

Aut2exe.exe and its files are in the script directory so this should work, but It doesn't. I've tried a lot of variations with it but it didn't work. Can someone help me, please?

Just use run...

[JustinReno]

You can't use run, its a command line option, and besides, it gives me an error. But It runs with _RunDos

Why can't you use run?

Run("Some.exe -param1 -param2", workingDir) ...

params are part of the exe

[JustinReno]

It doesn't work.

$filepath = RegRead ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\Aut2Exe\Aut2Exe.exe"
$infile = FileOpenDialog ("Open", "", "AutoIt V3 Scripts (*.au3)")
$outfile = FileSaveDialog ("Save As...", "", "Windows Exectuables (*.exe)")
MsgBox (0, "", "INFILE: "&$infile&@CRLF&"OUTFILE: "&$outfile)
$param = '/in "'&$infile&'" /out "'&$outfile &'"'
ShellExecute ($filepath, $param)

Your code does work, but how would I use it without having any open/save dialog boxes and without having to use the registry. I'm fileinstalling the compiler.

Hard code the paths... output path is optional.

EDIT: And come on... I thought you would know what to do there...

It didn't work when I tried, it gave me an error that it couldn't find aut2exe.exe

Well then, check the paths? What is exactly in the error?

EDIT: Is the image loading?

Ok... Q) Have you ever heard of .jpg... loads 100x faster

Q2) Look very carefully at your shell execute line... Could you please post you offending code? The image has stopped working for me?

[JustinReno]

It stopped working for me, and it is a jpg.

$infile = "temp.au3"
$outfile = ""&$ReadInput1&".exe"
$param = '/in "'&$infile&'" /out "'&$outfile &'"'
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir&"\Aut2exe.exe "&$Param&"")

Error: WINDOWS can not find C:\Documents and settings\jar\desktop\aut2exe.exe /in "temp.au3" /out "Web browser.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly...

[BrettF]

Read carefully next time

$infile = "temp.au3"
$outfile = ""&$ReadInput1&".exe"
$param = '/in "'&$infile&'" /out "'&$outfile &'"'
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir&"\Aut2exe.exe", $Param)

It's a .jpg, just an unnecessarily huge one. (almost 4MB)

I guess the better question is, ever heard of image cropping, or increasing compression on .jpg's?

[JustinReno]

Yes

[BrettF]

Is your problem fixed?

Better question... Every heard of setting the quality of the image to 0, and reducing the size....

Your problem is probably going to be spaces in the path because you didn't enclose it in Double quotes.

$iFile = '"My script.au3"'
Run (@ScriptDir & '\aut2exe.exe /in ' & $iFile)

Also make sure the autoitSC.bin file is in the same folder as aut2exe.exe.
