help - very hard one! don't know if autoit can do it.

is there an ability to alter a variable that when a script is running the second time it will not use the original value?

like:

$i=0
while 1
      select
            case $i=0
             do xyz
            case $i=1
             do xyz
     endselect
wend

; i need to start the next time the script runs with $i=1 and to stay that way.

another example, is where asking for a server address the first time the script runs, and for now on the user don't have to put it again.

any idea?

You just need to use an ini file. Look up IniRead and IniWrite.

Just set the Default value for a variable in your IniRead statement and then the first time the script runs it will use that value. When a new value is given you write it with IniWrite. Then the next time the script runs it will read the latest value.

The same sort of thing can be done with RegRead and RegWrite.

Something very similar was asked recently:

suppose you can also write to registry, but ini is cleaner
