Kind of multithread

[gtype]

Well, I have been trying to do something, something that would be much easier if AutoIt had threads. So I came to this helpfull forum searching for answers

I'll try to make an example as clear as possible, and as accurate as possible to what I want. Lets suppose I had the main AutoIt script. it would do some irrelevant crap, and then try to open.. erm lets suppose 10 IE's. But I want each IE to be controled in an individual AutoIt script (identical to each IE window). Is it possible to pass variables between scripts? For example, the main script launches 10 IE's, passes relevant vars to each, and when that script is over, it closes the IE window and reports to the main script saying that is over. Is it possible to know if it was window 5 for example that was window 5 that closed? How do we interact between scripts? Is it possible? Thanks in advance

Check out StderrRead/write. If that isn't fast enough you could always do it by just writing to an ini file. And then they read it all.

u mean talking between scripts by using a temp file?

Thanks.. I guess there's no easy way

I think I'll try named pipes.. or something like that. Any tips on that?

There's also an example of running many instances of a script with interscript communication here.
