Running an uncompiled script from another script

[Marjij]

Is this possible? If so why doesn't this work?

I have a compiled script that is run by task scheduler which simply closes an open program and then runs this command, which resets and restarts but the new script doesn't start.

It's not compiled because I still make changes periodically for improvement.

Is it not possible to run an un-compiled (.au3) script from within another script?

Run ("C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\Script 1.26.au3", "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\")

Thanks

Search the help file for /AutoIt3ExecuteScript

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript C:\Docume~1\UserName\Desktop\UserNa~1.au3')

NOTE: Correct usage of single- and double- quotation marks is important, even double single.

You can also do something like this if executing via AutoIt3.exe.

$Rv = RunWait('"'& @AUTOITEXE &'" "'& @USERPROFILEDIR &'\Desktop\Script 1.26.au3"')
ConsoleWrite("Au3 closed with an exit value of: "& $Rv & @LF)

Using the afore mentioned quotation styles.

@Marjij,

Welcome to the forum.

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c Start C:\Docume~1\UserName\Desktop\UserNa~1.au3")

I see that you found one of many ways to do this, but since it is an AU3 file, I think that #Include is the simplest method:

#Include "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\Script 1.26.au3"

You don't have to worry about double or single quotation marks and it handles the spaces in the path :-)
