scite: before/after compilation

[gcue]

i am running the script AFTER the compilation with this line

%scriptdir%\%scriptfile%

is there a way to terminate the script if its running BEFORE the compilation?

u cant use %scriptdir%\%scriptfile%

use @scriptfullpatch

look in the help file on Macro's

hmm but that line works! (%scriptdir%\%scriptfile%)

i got it from the Run Before/After Tab section in the wrapper

These commands will be executed one at a time as cmdline commands.

The Commandlines can contain the following variables:

%in% , %out%, %icon% which will be replaced by the fullpath\filename.

%scriptdir% same as @ScriptDir and %scriptfile% = filename without extension.

%fileversion% set to the #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion directive value.

%scitedir% will be replaced by the SciTE program directory

maybe i wasnt being clear - sorry

essentially what im trying to do is kill the script before compiling with the wrapper.... (i am already automatically running the script after the compilation)

reason why i want to do this: its not just me being lazy.. i run the script from different PCs from the same location, so i want to kill it before compiling with new changes

How about something like running:

TSKILL currentscript.exe

It's a windows command to kill a process.

I was trying to do the same thing: Close the app that I am trying to compile. I often forget that it's still running.

After trying lots of things, I finally found what works for me in the Run Before/After when compiling:

taskkill.exe /F /IM "%scriptfile%.exe"

Including the path ("%scriptdir%") does NOT work (because the path is not shown in Task Manager). The /F and /IM parameters are from the Cmd prompt's Help for Taskkill.
