themax90 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 File==>Programs==>AutoIt==>Help File In the help file look at the Run command. First you need to make a rough draft of what you want it to do. Do you want a GUI? Do you want it to be Command Line based? You need to know these things before you start building. Remember the help file is your friend. Everything you need to make a launcher can be found there Run -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Runs an external program. Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, flag[, standard_i/o_flag]]] ) Parameters filename The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF) to run. workingdir [optional] The working directory. flag [optional] The "show" flag of the executed program: @SW_HIDE = Hidden window @SW_MINIMIZE = Minimized window @SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximized window standard_i/o_flag [optional] Provide a meaningful handle to one or more STD I/O streams of the child process. 1 ($STDIN_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDIN stream 2 ($STDOUT_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDOUT stream 4 ($STDERR_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDERR stream Return Value Success: The PID of the process that was launched. Failure: Depends on RunErrorsFatal; see Remarks. Remarks To run DOS (console) commands, try Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'commandName', "", @SW_HIDE) After running the requested program the script continues. To pause execution of the script until the spawned program has finished use the RunWait function instead. By default the script will terminate with a fatal error if the Run function fails. To set @error 1, @extended to GetLastError() Windows API and return 0 as an indication of failure, see AutoItSetOption. Providing the Standard I/O parameter with the proper values permits interaction with the child process through the StderrRead, StdinWrite and StdoutRead functions. Combine the flag values (or use $STDERR_CHILD, $STDIN_CHILD & $STDOUT_CHILD, defined in Constants.au3) to manage more than one stream. Cleaning of defined streams can be done with ProcessClose(). Related RunAsSet, RunErrorsFatal (Option), RunWait, ShellExecute, ShellExecuteWait, StderrRead, StdinWrite, StdoutRead, ProcessClose Example Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) Basic Example $FileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog("Launch Game...", @DesktopDir, "Executables (*.exe)", 1) If Not @Error Then Run($FileOpenDialog) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
