Can AutoIt3Wrapper Directives accept variables (or be used as variables)?

[LWC]

Is there a working version for something like

$version="1.0"
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=$version

?

I use $version in various places and it's illogical to define it twice. Likewise for program's name, etc.

LWC,

As directives are actioned before any code, I do not see how you could use a variable within one.

Then what about the other way around? Using something like:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0.0.0
$version=#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion

(I've updated the topic's subject accordingly)

In 4 years you've never tested this? Did you really need to ask this at all, because a simple test would have told you that wouldn't work.

Of course I did, I just didn't write it here. I thought maybe after 4 years new minds would offer a solution.

This works fine in a compiled script:

Global $VERSION = FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath)

if @Compiled = 0 Then

    For $LPos = 0 to UBound($AU3F) - 1
        $Line = $AU3F[$LPos]
        if StringInStr($Line,"#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_ProductVersion=") <> 0 Then
            $Vers = StringStripWS(StringMid($Line, StringInStr($Line, "=") + 1), $STR_STRIPLEADING + $STR_STRIPTRAILING)
            ExitLoop

    Next

If @Compiled = 1 Then
    $Vers = FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath)
EndIf

$Vers = FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath, $FV_PRODUCTVERSION)

gets the corresponding version... .

Ended up using the following with special support for beta versions:

#cs
[FileVersion]
#ce
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.2.3

$version = StringRegExpReplace(@Compiled ? StringRegExpReplace(FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath), "\.0+$", "") : IniRead(@ScriptFullPath, "FileVersion", "#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion", "0.0.0"), "(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\.(\d+)", "$1 beta $2")
