use #Include in a loop?

(My Enlish is not Good )

I need help in this case:

Fisrt File: File1.au3

Func File1()
 MsgBox(0,"File1","Test1")

When I compile main.au3, does it work normal?

Thanks

You cannot do that.

You cannot have a variable in the name of the file.

[enaiman]

Look for #include in AutoIt help file:

#include

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Includes a file in the current script.

#include "[path\]filename"

#include <filename>

Parameters

filename The filename of the current script to include. Path is optional. This must be a string--it cannot be a variable.

If "..." is used, the filename is taken to be relative to the current script.

If <...> is used the filename is taken to be relative to include library directory (usually C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include). The include library contains many pre-written user-functions for you to use!

You can use execute, however:

Horrible Pseudocode:

Open file1, read the text (function) that you want to run, write that text to a variable, $dynamicFunction1
close the file
Open file2, read the text (second function) that you want to run, write that text to a variable, $dynamicFunction2
close the file

Execute($dynamicFunction1)
Execute($dynamicFunction2)

I think the Execute command is what you need.

( I hope that doesn't translate to "I command you to die")

That wouldn't work at all, you can't have tried that.

You simply have to explicitly include the include file or you have to write a second script which adds the include files to the first script and then runs it.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <NomadMemory.au3>


;Initialize variables
Global $GUIWidth
Global $GUIHeight
Global $FuncVar

$GUIWidth = 300
$GUIHeight = 250

;Create window
GUICreate("New GUI", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight)

;Create an edit box with no text in it
$Edit_1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 280, 190)

;Create an "Assign Text to Variable" button
$Assign_Btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Assign", 5, 210, 70, 25)
$Execute_Btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Execute", 75, 210, 70, 25)

;Create a "CANCEL" button
$Cancel_Btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 165, 210, 70, 25)

;Show window/Make the window visible
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

;Loop until:
;- user presses Esc
;- user presses Alt+F4
;- user clicks the close button
While 1
 ;After every loop check if the user clicked something in the GUI window
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()

   Select
   
    ;Check if user clicked on the close button
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
       ;Destroy the GUI including the controls
         GUIDelete()
       ;Exit the script
         Exit
         
    ;Check if user clicked on the "OK" button
      Case $msg = $Assign_Btn
         $FuncVar = GUICtrlRead($Edit_1)
      Case $msg = $Execute_Btn
        Execute($FuncVar)
    ;Check if user clicked on the "CANCEL" button
      Case $msg = $Cancel_Btn
         MsgBox(64, "New GUI", "You clicked on the Cancel button!")
         
   EndSelect

WEnd

Write a function into the edit box, hit the assign button, and then hit the execute button.

The function will then run...

Wouldn't it be exactly the same as reading the function from a text file and assigning it to a variable?

[JRowe]

GUICtrlSetColor($Edit_1,0xff0000) + Sleep(2000) + GUICtrlSetColor($Edit_1,0xff00ff) + Sleep(2000) + GUICtrlSetColor($Edit_1,0x0000ff) + Sleep(2000) + GUICtrlSetColor($Edit_1,0x000000)

Paste that into the edit box, then hit assign, and hit execute.

The text will change from red to pink to blue, back to black

You can chain functions on a single line, as well.

Let's say you had the function

MsgBox(64, "", "Here's a Dynamic Function!")

stored in a file called "functions.txt" on the first line, with other functions on the following lines.

By doing this

$file = FileOpen("functions.txt", 0)
$DynamicFunction = FileReadLine($file,1)
FileClose($file)
Execute($DynamicFunction)

You're doing exactly what I proposed in my horrible pseudocode.

The function will then run...

Thank for Reply.

But I have not "NomadMemory.au3" in my Include Folder.

I have tried with "Memory" & "MemoryConstants.au3", That wouldn't work at all.

[JRowe]

Lol, im sorry,that was random crap from another script. Delete the #nomadmemory include and it should work just fine.

[TranMinhDuc]

Thank for all your help.

But your codes can't Execute a User_Func.

I'll try in other way...

Another question: can we design a software run with method like Module or Plugin by AutoIT?

[Richard Robertson]

Yes. You can allow users to write dlls (in a compiled language) and call those. Just tell them specific function names and parameters. This ability for plugin coding has been around since DllCall was added.

I need help in this case:

Fisrt File: File1.au3

Func File1()
 MsgBox(0,"File1","Test1")
EndFunc

Second File: File2.au3

Func File2()
 MsgBox(0,"File2","Test2")
EndFunc

Main File: Main.au3

For $i=1 To 2 Step
 #include "File"&$i;Error here, how can I fix it?
Next

File1();Call Function in File1.au3
File2();Call Function in File2.au3

When I compile main.au3, does it work normal?

Thanks

The #include statement is a compiler directive, and is interpreted at compile time.

It is not interpreted at run time. By run time, the substitution of code from the #include file into the script has already happened.

Variables cannot be used to specify the #include file, as they cannot be used to specify the source for FileInstall(), because the path to the file must be resolved at compile time before any script code is run that would give value to the variables.
