Want to save variables for use in another script

[blessthefall]

Okay, so I'm going to try to explain this as well as can:

I want to have a script where, using a GUI window and various inputs, I can save variables into another file to be used by other scripts. See example below for my lousy attempt at making an example of my intended application

;;;;;;;;;;;Script.au3;;;;;;;;;;;

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <variables.au3>

;inputs

;formulas

;loops

;other random stuff

;after everything is said and done, I'll have a set of 2 or more variables

$variable_a = 666

$variable_b = 777

;I want to save/update these 2 variables (and nothing else) into "Variables.au3" to be recalled by this and other scripts

;;;;;;;;;;;Variables.au3;;;;;;;;;;;

$variable_a = 0

$variable_b = 0

Cant do this. unless you use filewriteline()

I think :S

Not familiar with FileWriteLine ()

that may be what i'm looking for, will look into it in a second.

Look in there.

Okay, so with some searching and some testing I found a way to get the results I want, but not necessarily by the method I want.

#include <File.au3>

FileDelete ( "variables.au3" ) ;deletes existing variables.au3

_FileCreate ("variables.au3") ;creates new "blank" variables.au3

$file = FileOpen("variables.au3", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

FileWrite($file, "$variable_a = 666" & @CRLF) ;writes new value to line one

FileWrite($file, "$variable_b = 777") ;writes new value to line two

FileClose($file)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a more effective method?

Maybe you could use INI files. You can write a variables with the IniWrite function.

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\MyVars.ini", "Variables", "variable_a", $variable_a)

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\MyVars.ini", "Variables", "variable_b", $variable_

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\MyVars.ini", "Variables", "variable_a", $variable_a)

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\MyVars.ini", "Variables", "variable_b", $variable_
