Start script from a specific line

[Clay]

Is it possible to start a script from a specific line in a script? I am creating the ability for my script to run, reboot the system and then continue ... but I was it to continue from a resume point. Is it possible to start script ..say at line 100 in my script file?

Use functions, write a text file next to the script, if the file exists it will start of another part of the script

If FileExists("file.txt") Then
   _Func1()
Else
   _Func2()
EndIf

Func _Func1()

EndFunc

Func _Func2()

EndFunc

Maybe with an ini work-around? Run first 100 lines only, if ini value "rebooted" = 0, just prior to reboot set value to 1 and after the post-reboot process is finished reset to 0...

Yes ... but how do you tell the script to start at line 101 ?

you dont

you tell it to start from 101 func

Thats kinda messy man... not sure if I want to do that. Is there any other way to do this any of you may know of? Otherwise I will just write all vitial information for a log or ini file and then upon restart kick off another script that reads this infromation and continues with the rest of the work.

[Polyphem]

$flag_rebooted = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\yourininame.ini", "Settings", "rebooted", 0)
if $flag_rebooted = 0 Then
    ;first 100 lines of code...
    ;at the end, just prior to reboot...
    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\yourininame.ini", "Settings", "rebooted", 1)
ElseIf $flag_rebooted = 1 Then
    ;rest of code to be executed after reboot
    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\yourininame.ini", "Settings", "rebooted", 0)
EndIf

what will happen when that another script is restarted :/ itl make one more script ( third script ) to start from on next startup :/

well this is not the perfect way to do that (well there isnt any perfect way at all if you dont use Func)

you can try something like this

expandcollapse popup

$sciptstopatline = 1
If Not StringIsAlNum (ClipGet()) Then
    ClipPut("1")
Else    
    $sciptstopatline = ClipGet()
EndIf
While 1
    Select
        Case $sciptstopatline = "1"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "2"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "3"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "4"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "5"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "6"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "7"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "8"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "9"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "10"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "11"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "12"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
        Case $sciptstopatline = "13"
            ClipPut($sciptstopatline)
            Sleep(1000)
            $sciptstopatline = "0"
    EndSelect
    $sciptstopatline = $sciptstopatline + 1
    ToolTip("Im On The "&$sciptstopatline&" ScriptLine",0,0)
WEnd

i used clpiput and clipget for testing to put data in it

if anyone there know better way now its time to tell
