@boat_58  Here without the UDF :

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{F1}", Restart)

GUICreate("Test", 150, 70)
GUICtrlCreateLabel(@SEC, 40, 30, 50, 20)
GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func Restart()
  ShellExecute(@ScriptFullPath, "", @ScriptDir, @compiled ? "" : "run")
  Exit
EndFunc

better shellExecute

[SOLVE-SMART]

Nice and easy @Nine, thanks. But I had to replace this ...

ShellExecute(@ScriptFullPath)

... by this ...

ShellExecute(@AutoItExe, '/AutoIt3ExecuteScript ' & @ScriptFullPath)

... to get it working.

Best regards
Sven

Strange, cause it works both compiled and uncompiled for me. 

Maybe you have edit as default action ?

Okay, interesting. I have to say that I use VSCode instead of SciTE or ISN Studio. Maybe there is a orphaned relation which is default in SciTE, but not in the VSCode settings - I don't know. Anyways, I guess it's good to have two variants, only in case the user also struggles as I did ( for few seconds 😅 ).

Best regards

Try this line :

ShellExecute(@ScriptFullPath, "", @ScriptDir, @compiled ? "" : "run")

 

[SOLVE-SMART]

That's even better, yes. Because of the compiled variant 👍 .
Works fine.

If SciTe is set to open the script by default it needs to specify the appropriate verb.

ShellExecute(@AutoItExe, '/AutoIt3ExecuteScript ' & @ScriptFullPath)

This also might not work under specific circumstances, so better use some quotes around the script path.

@SOLVE-SMART Great I'll edit the snippet.  Thanks for testing.

Made an enhanced version that informs the script of the restart, keeps track of the number of restarts and transmits actual command line parameters to the restarted script.  Works compiled and uncompiled (DOS cmd console and Scite).

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

HotKeySet("{F1}", Restart)

Global $iRestart = 0
Global $sCmdLine = StringStripWS(@Compiled ? $CmdLineRaw : StringRegExpReplace($CmdLineRaw, '.*?\Q' & @ScriptName & '\E"?\h*(.*)', "$1"), $STR_STRIPTRAILING)

If StringInStr($sCmdLine, "/Restart=", $STR_CASESENSE) Then
  $iRestart = Int(StringRegExpReplace($sCmdLine, ".*\/Restart=(\d+)", "$1"))
  $sCmdLine = StringRegExpReplace($sCmdLine, "(.*?)\h*\/Restart=\d+", "$1")
EndIf

GUICreate("[" & $sCmdLine & "]", 300, 70)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($iRestart, 40, 30, 50, 20)
GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func Restart()
  ShellExecute(@ScriptName, $sCmdLine & " /Restart=" & $iRestart + 1, @ScriptDir, @Compiled ? "" : "run")
  Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Restart

more robust cmd line extractor
