Control script from outside the script...


Recommended Posts

Hi,

is there way to command my running autoit script to do something, if it's currently running...

WITHOUT using any keypresses, or mousemoves...

Just like inform other program to call script.exe "do this and this", and then it could do it?

What about giving an example clarifying what you mean? Edited by Jos

Various ways but using messages is one. Sending a message can be quite simple but it depends what you want to tell your script.

dont know if this is what you are looking for but check "Command Line Parameters" in the help file.

You're problem is something like:

Script 1 and script 2 are both running. Script 2 has to pass information to Script 1 (eg: some variables, or just tell it that it's done).

You can create a GUI:

eg: Script 1 has a GUI. When script 2 has information to pass it will write it to script 1's GUI using controlcommand, controlclick, controlsend. Script 1 will then be waiting for on event or poll the GUI for changes.

Alternatively once script 2 is complete it will create a GUI with the values and script 1 will get them from ControlgetText, controlCommand.

The GUI needn't be visible for this to work.

Alternatively you can try something via StdinWrite/ StdoutRead, or via a loopback TCP tunnel, or via a text / ini file in @temp.
