running a script out of a txt file

[BrewManNH]

I'd say you're probably seeing a problem where the quotes are being stripped off. I'd say, trying to create a GUI that way will never work. I'd think what you're attempting is never going to work the way you wan tit to.

nope :/

i want something like #include but i dont want the text file to be inside exe i want the text to be just included into the exe when exe is opened and exe needs some data at certain lines

#Region Sample
    $i = _runScript('msgbox.au3', 0)
    MsgBox(64, 'Exitcode', 'RC: ' & $i)
    $i = _runScript('msgbox.au3', 1)
    MsgBox(64, 'Process ID', 'PID: ' & $i)
#EndRegion Sample

Func _runScript($sAu3, $iWait = 0)
    Local $i
    If Not @Compiled Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Select
        Case $iWait = 0 ;Returns when script exits, returns scripts exitcode
            $i = RunWait('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $sAu3 & '"')
            If @error Then Return SetError(2)
            Return $i
        Case $iWait = 1 ;Returns immidiatly returning scripts Process ID
            $i = Run('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $sAu3 & '"')
            If @error Then Return SetError(2)
            Return $i
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_runScript

if i use /AutoIt3ExecuteScript then i cant put variables or anything on txt file bcz that requires the "#include" files... ;/

i just wana put some of the code into txt file so that i can edit the gui on the go if i dont have the autoit on the pc

is there no way to do sumtin like #include does?

like #include "example.txt"

at certain points of lines ?

add commandline parameters to the external script, just edit the func i posted above a bit to add aditional parameters
