Data interchange between Scripts

This is very much a "work in progress" (as with most every example script, but especially this one). If anyone has suggestions, PLEASE let me know. Tear it apart please. Thanks to Martin and Picasso

I'm not much of a COM guy... maybe that's why... but what's this supposed to do??

I don't know the terms too well, so bear with me. It's a COM-of-sorts. Furthermore, what you quoted was a mess up of my original posting. For some reason when I edit a post it screws up my post pertaining the autoit script and such. I've fixed it now.

Just wanting to contribute to everything.

Not my place to be till I'm more well versed in COM then... btw, edited my post once I understood what you meant... all the best with this..

hahaha about the edit yeah, thanks. I hope I can get more input. It does what I need it to do, but I'm SURE it can be better and maybe the thread title needs to be redone. That's up to the mods and others. I thought this was a pseudo-COM. I know it's not really a COM, but I'm calling it that because that's what I thought it was most like. Totally up for renaming the title though!! Thanks KJ

[JohnBailey]

Ok, gang after re-reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_object_model, I think it is a good idea to rename this threads title I just don't know what it should be called.

Something like "Params Sending to Open AU3 Scripts." haha I don't know obviously. I went with "COM" because I was generally just referring to the function of COM not the literal definition of it, which I see now is confusing! Any suggestions?

This script is really a form of data interchange between applications using Windows Messages.

This same meganism is used by the SciTE Director interface to have external programs "communicate" to SciTE.

Thank you for the explanation!!!! That's awesome!

So, what should I retitle this to?

haha I don't think I can retitle it. JdeB, since you're a mod you're MORE than welcome to change my insanity.

JdeB, thanks for changing the title!!! looks great and makes total sense.

What is the second character array for here? It doesn't look like it's used.

Local $CDString = DllStructCreate("char var1[256];char var2[256]");

There should be some check made to ensure that the string to send is not longer than 255 characters.(You can probably blame me for that)

Maybe have

DllStructSetData($CDString,1,StringLeft($acsd_InfotoSend,255))

If you plan to make some sort of UDF for passing information between programs then maybe this could be of interest.

It is apart of the array as far as I know. I had to tweak things to get it to work between your's and Picasso's script. Basically, I'm not totally sure how to explain it . I can work on explaining it though. I'm sure you'll know a lot more than I can in this.

Maybe have

DllStructSetData($CDString,1,StringLeft($acsd_InfotoSend,255))

ok, I will do that. Why by the way?

Thanks ! There's tons in there that I should put into this.

All in all, I better get started.

THANKS!

If you create a struct

$Struct1 = DllCreateStruct(char[256])

then you are reserving 256 bytes of memory. If you then have DllStructSetData($struct1,$string) and $string is longer than 255 characters then either you will write into an area of memory not reserverved for that element, or Autoit is clever enough to prevent that. (I can't try it at the moment.) But it is best to get it right. I am assuming a string is stored as characters + CHR(0) to indicate the end of the string, so a string of length 255 characters takes 256 bytes.

Nice!!

Here is a better version of the example of sending data from one program to another.

It uses nomadmemory.au3.

====================================================================================

Updated 15th Sept 2008 for latest production version

Updated 5th Sept 2007

add faster transfer of 2 extra variables started with the Count Up button.

The integer and string in the edit boxes of the sender can still be changed while the count is in progress.

You should be able to run this and it will start up the listener script, if not then either you need to edit the line beginning

Run on line 42 or comment out the line, compile and run, then run the receiver script.

The receiver script (listener) can be stopped and run again at any time and it will be linked to the sender/talker. When it's not running the sender script still works the same. If the talker closes then the listener closes.

I have made the sender run the receiver just to make it easier to test.

How did you get the posted code to work?

I wrote that code on a French computer and when I downloaded it onto my English laptop I couldn't run it because thee were illegal characters all over the place that I couldn't make out. It took quite a while to get it to run and I had to replace lots of white space with white space. If you had a similar problem I'll replace the code in that post.

I didn't get the exact code to work. When I made my post I was just straight reading your code in the forum and I could see (conceptually) why so much is better about it. I just don't have functions like _MemoryRead(), _MemoryWrite(), _MemoryClose(), etc.

Other than that, everything syntax checks out ok.

btw, I did find the udf containing those functions; it's just the thread is closed and I wasn't sure if I should hold off on using those.

Edit:

Oh, btw if I use the functions in that udf, then your script works (except for the input1 sending info)

The NomadMemory.au3 udf came from here.

The input1 edit has to be an integer or the receiving program will just see 0.
