Compile-time variables?

[nitro322]

Does Auto-It support compile-time variables in any way? For example, I'd like to be able to set a variable in my script that's equal to the number of times a certain line appears in the script itself. I know that sounds kind of odd, but there's a reason. Can something like this be done?

Thanks.

I have no idea what most of these do.

#compiler_allow_decompile
#compiler_au3check_dat
#compiler_aut2exe
#compiler_autoit3
#compiler_compression
#compiler_icon
#compiler_outfile
#compiler_passphrase
#compiler_prompt
#compiler_res_comment
#compiler_res_description
#compiler_res_field
#compiler_res_field1name
#compiler_res_field1value
#compiler_res_field2name
#compiler_res_field2value
#compiler_res_fileversion
#compiler_res_legalcopyright
#compiler_run_after
#compiler_run_au3check
#compiler_run_before

Well these included tags relate to the compiler modes - the executer control application and most of these tags match the controls in this intuition witch again control the aut2exe application that uses the UPX execute archiver and the ResHacker application to do the icon stuff...

Long tail story - but most of these parametre actually controls the UPX archiver and ResHacker application...

Yes this is "possible" but it involves a bit of haberdashery.

My intent for doing this was to create a constant whose content was randomly generated (for integrity and security reasons).

Here's how i did it:

- Created a primary script and added and include statement that pointed an include file which will create a global constant.

- Created a secondary script that would generate the content that was randomized and output that content to include.au3.

- Compiled that script into an exe.

- Went into the compile options in Scite and specified to 1) run the secondary.exe before compile and 2) to delete the generated included.au3 file after compile.

- Hit compile and voila!

Kludgy, but it works.

You're running for the "oldest necroed thread ever" award, right?
