Open au3 in Scite at specified line number

[millisys]

Hi, I am trying to open into scite an au3 file from another au3 file and then navigate to the specified line number.

I can get the test.au3 file to open in Scite but I do not know of an additional parameter to specify the line number.

ShellExecute("test.au3","","","edit")

Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi BrewManNH,

Thank you for your help. I tried this but it does not seem to be working.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe -open:C:\\Program Files\\SciTE\\SciTEDoc.html -goto:123")

Try ShellExecute, instead of Run.

I made a function for you, see if it work. Tested successfully on Windows XP SP3 x86

No need to use ShellExecute to run an executable program, it can be done like this.

Run(@ComSpec & " /k " & "'C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe' -open:C:\\Program Files\\SciTE\\SciTEDoc.html -goto:123")

Hi somdcomputerguy,

I tried this but it said the file couldn't be found. I checked the file structure and the file is there.

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe -open:C:\Program Files\SciTE\SciTEDoc.html -goto:123")

Just take a look to my message and BrewManNH too.

Hi!

[millisys]

Thank you BrewManHN,

I get a message that 'C:Program' is not recognized... Do I have to use FileGetShortName for the COMSPEC to work? I am using a work computer which is Win2K. Is that the problem?

[BrewManNH]

Did you copy what I posted exactly? Because there's quotes around the path to Scite.exe and that should not have happened.

Note: BTW, there's no point in using @ComSpec for this either, but I used it so that if there were an error, you'd be able to see it. @ComSpec should only be used if you're using some internal Windows command, not an external executable.

Hi BrewManNH,

I tried it again on an XP box and same results. It must be the way the computer was configured. I have had problems using @ComSpec on these computers in the past. I am sure that it would work on a normal computer.

Thank you for your help

Hi Nessie,

Your function is awesome! For some reason it does not work on my installation of 2K but it works brilliantly on XP. Thank you so much!

I noticed that when I type Scite from the Run command on XP it opens up Scite. When I do the same on 2K it says it cannot find Scite. Any idea how to fix this? I apologize if this is more of a Windows than AutoIt question.

Go to my previous post, i have changed a little bit my function and tell me what happened now

Also be sure that tha SciTE path is right and is equal to:

@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe"

If not, you have to set manually the Scite Path like:

_SciteGOTO("C:\test.au3", 10, "C:\MY_SCITE_PATH\SciTE.exe")

Hi Nessie,

Awesome! That is a fantastic function.

I experimented with your first version and moved the $s_scite variable from the working directory parameter to the filename parameter and both versions now work in 2k.

Is there functionally a reason to use:

Run($s_scite & ' "-open:' & $s_au3 & '" -goto:' & $iLine)

vs:?

ShellExecute($s_scite, '"-open:' & $s_au3 & '" -goto:' & $iLine)
