Convert Text to Command?

[AnthemCorporation]

Hey all

I'm trying to get my script to read part of my INI file as a command, so once it's compiled i only need to change the INI file to run it for different programs. is there anyway i can get the script to read the text in my INI file as a command?

For example

[details]

Appname=Testing

message=This Will Not Reboot... don't stress

title=Information

commandline=@windowsdir & "\notepad.exe"

restart=n

Thats the contents of my INI file currently, and yeah, just wanna get that command running

All help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

I understand this isn't the answer your looking for...

Maybe when saving your command to the ini you could use window environment variables saved in your ini instead..

eg:

[details]
commandline=%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe

Then use Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1) in your program to read the ini..

eg:

Global $Ini = @ScriptDir & "\exenv.ini"
Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)
$program = IniRead($Ini, "details", "commandline", "")
MsgBox(0,'', $program)

Cheers

Change commandline in your ini to something like this commandline=@windowsdir\notepad.exe

Don't use & or " as this will only complicate things for you. Just use full paths or variables like @windowsdir\notepad.exe @systemdir\notepad.exe .. etc

Then this code should do. Make sure to change "C:\mytxt.ini" to @scriptdir & "\yourini.ini" or so.

; Read line from INI
$commandline = IniRead("C:\mytxt.ini", "details", "commandline", "")
MsgBox(0,1, $commandline)
; Convert any kind of @ variables from autoit (since as you read them from text those are simple text not a variables
$commandline = StringReplace($commandline, "@windowsdir", @WindowsDir)
MsgBox(0,1, $commandline)
; for any other @windowsdir, @SystemDir etc you gotta do string replace
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $commandline, "", @SW_HIDE)

MsgBox(64, "Info", ExeCute("@WindowsDir"))

Tnx SmOke_N, wasn't aware of that feature.
