startup script not working?

[Guest ragecrow]

I am having a problem getting this script to re-open the .exe it closes.

Code looks like this

; --------------------------------- Vars's -----------------------------------

$botting=0

$AppName=IniRead("botting.ini","Settings","App_Name","turnbot.exe")

$start_key=IniRead("botting.ini","Settings","Hotkey_StartFunc","{DEL}")

$stop_key=IniRead("botting.ini","Settings","Hotkey_StopFunc","{END}")

; --------------------------------- Func's -----------------------------------

Func bot_start()

$botting=1

EndFunc

Func bot_stop()

$botting=0

EndFunc

; --------------------------------- Hotkey's ---------------------------------

HotKeySet($start_key, "bot_start")

HotKeySet($stop_key, "bot_stop")

; --------------------------------- Start ------------------------------------

While 1

if $botting=1 Then

Run($AppName)

WinWaitActive("turnbot v0.67", "OK")

Send("{ENTER}")

EndIf

Sleep(1000)

WEnd

I also have a notepad file named botting.ini in the same directory that looks like this.

[settings]

App_Name=turnbot.exe

Hotkey_StartFunc={DEL}

Hotkey_StopFunc={END}

Essentially I hit delete and it opens the .exe file. That runs for a few minutes and then closes with a pop-up. The script closes the popup but will not re-open the .exe to start the cycle over (what I want). Is there something wrong in the code preventing it from re-opening?

Thanks guys!

so all u want this script to do is run a program when u hit blah and close it when u hit blah then run it again if u press same key?

try this ?

Run("turnbot.exe")

While 1
HotKeySet("{END}", "Quit")
HotKeySet("{DEL}", "Start")
WEnd

Func Quit()
ProcessClose ("turnbot.exe")
EndFunc

Func Start()
Run("turnbot.exe")
EndFunc

jsut tested with notepad, hope thats want u meant

Thank you for the reply. I actually want it to start with the keypress but automatically restart the .exe after it closes the popup. I have a smaller script to do this but i cant get the keypress to turn on and off to work.

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be better to have the hotkey B4 the while loop?? no reason to repeatedly set it....

ie

HotKeySet("{END}", "Quit")
HotKeySet("{DEL}", "Start")

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

i agree, the reason i done it that way was because i tried it your way closeupman but it did work , i think it is because i was using ProcessClose instead of WinClose.

thanks
