rescuball Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 From a new newbie. No experience with scripts in general and AutoIt in particular! However, well experienced as an old programmer. How can I pass data to a script and get data back from an external program? This must be very basic but I have spent *hours* searching and reading. I use FoxPro (NOT OOP) Pseudo code: x = "Path\filename" send x to an AutoIt script using FILEEXIST back in the calling program x = Success/Failed or even error code I feel stupid but would really appreciate some hellp.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2009 rescuball, One solution is to use a .ini file to pass parameters in and out. AutoIt has builtin functions to read and write sectioned .ini files - which makes it really easy to do. If you want to go this way we can show you how pretty quickly.
