Part of script in txt file

[blantek212]

Hello,
I would like write script in autoit, but some part of script must be editable, and this part I would like put in txt file.
That solution give me possibility to editing/change  script without compile script every time when I change lines inside.
I'm confused, is it possible to do?

 

$part_name="fan"
$part_number="22"
$part_place="WS"
$part_end="2"

$handle=FileOpen("C:\temp\Missing_positions.txt",1)


;read script from script.txt
;start txt file
If $part_name="fan" Then
    FileWrite($handle,"780001"&@CRLF)
EndIf

If $part_name="fan" Then
    If $part_number="33" Then
        FileWrite($handle,"780002"&@CRLF)
    EndIf
    If $part_number="22" Then
        If $part_end="1"Then
            FileWrite($handle,"780003"&@CRLF)
        EndIf
        If $part_end="2"Then
            FileWrite($handle,"780008"&@CRLF)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf
;end txt file

FileClose($handle)
MsgBox(0,"Info","Ready")

Everything between ";start txt file" and ";end txt file" I would like have in file "script.txt"
Every number "780...." which meet the conditions, I would like have save in "Missing_positions.txt" file.

Exactly what parts of those lines would you need to change?

I would rethink your strategy about saving a small part of code into a  separate file (like you want).  But you it is possible to do so with #include "partofmyscript.txt" inserted where you want it to be.

Maybe you could use some .ini file to hold the variables you wish to have instead of using #include...

These conditions will be totally different each time, different number, different structure if.....

If $part_name="fan" Then
    FileWrite($handle,"780001"&@CRLF)
EndIf

If $part_name="fan" Then
    If $part_number="33" Then
        FileWrite($handle,"780002"&@CRLF)
    EndIf
    If $part_number="22" Then
        If $part_end="1"Then
            FileWrite($handle,"780003"&@CRLF)
        EndIf
        If $part_end="2"Then
            FileWrite($handle,"780008"&@CRLF)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf

 

Only  this paremeters are fixed

$part_name="fan"
$part_number="22"
$part_place="WS"
$part_end="2"

$handle=FileOpen("C:\temp\Missing_positions.txt",1)

@caramen I'm well aware of what he wrote, don't act stupid.

If you're looking to change the actual code, and not just the numbers used in it, then it wouldn't be possible without doing something like this (from the help file):

Quote

Run a script using another compiled script:

Compiled.exe [/ErrorStdOut] /AutoIt3ExecuteScript file [params ...]
                Execute another AutoIt script file from a compiled AutoIt3 executable. 

Compiled.exe [/ErrorStdOut] /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "command line"
                Execute one line of code as with AutoIt3.exe above. 

This means that there is no need to have a copy of AutoIt3.exe in addition to the compiled file - the interpreter stub of the compiled file will replace it.  So as long as there is at least one compiled script available, other AutoIt scripts can be run without the need to have AutoIt3.exe on the machine., either pre-installed or added via FileInstall.

You'd have to have some way to pass values back and forth between the 2 separate scripts if needed. The variables that won't change can be put into an INI file and read by the second script using IniRead. That should work to do what you're looking to do. Just make sure that the part you mentioned doesn't reference any variable names in the first script unless they're also added to the second script.

@BrewManNH Hey go f... Yourself. I tryed to point you to let you help him as you wish. Call me stupid with no reason ??? I am pissed off, of guys like you now. 

You are the second guy to do this and this time it wont pass. 

 

You can PM me if you got a problem with me. 

 

Remind Rethink your words OK?! COMON

Temper temper. My question to him was to try and find out what EXACTLY was going to be changed in between those 2 lines. Without that information, I would have had to give numerous examples that weren't relevant to the OP. Once I found out EXACTLY what he needed to change, my answer was direct and to the point. 

Your quote was insulting, I was fully aware of what he wrote, but it was unclear, so I asked for clarification. Your post was useless information, and you were the one trying to "look smart" when actually you were the exact opposite.

[caramen]

I guess you like public. What you want ? Cheers when you call me stupid ? I dont care what was the purpose, you used these words first. 

I feel the word "stupid" insulting too. 

You are a pretty good coder but, I often question myself. I recommand you to do same. 

Unless you know how people are. Rethink the thermes you're using. 

And again you can PM me, in stead of polluting this thread./

End of story.

Language barriers can be difficult.

I made test with #include "partofmyscript.txt", it work nice,
 but there is any way after compile script to exe file, to update this partofmyscript.txt for every time when I run exe file?
I need this in case when I modyfi partofmyscript.txt.

I check, I can use also .au3 file instead .txt

Once compiled...let me think

Look at my post above, it tells you how to do that by running that part of the script as a separate script. I did forget to mention, you will need to add the following line to allow it to execute that script.

#pragma compile(AutoItExecuteAllowed, true)

NOTE: BTW, you can't use #include to add the code to a compiled script. #includes are only added when the script is compiled, after that the included file is part of the main script inside the exe.

Maybe you could have a .txt file with what you need/edit it as you wish, then as soon as the script starts it could rename the txt file to .au3 and that was afterwards pointed as an include.

[Nine]

As @BrewManNH said. I didn't find any other way...

Here how to get the right exe to use :

#pragma compile(AutoItExecuteAllowed, true)

Local $BaseExe = @Compiled ? @ScriptName : @AutoItExe
Run ($BaseExe & " /AutoIt3ExecuteScript PartOfMyScript.au3")

Now you will have to pass the required variables to PartOfMyScript.au3.  You can use CmdLine[ ] array to do that...

[caramen]

@Nine Some days ago. Jos pointed me on somthing similar. let me find...

Great, that's what I was looking for
CmdLine also work fine.

Thanks for help.

The only limitation of passing the values via the commandline would be that there's no easy way to pass back the results, if those values get changed in the external script. Probably not an issue in this case because the values don't change, but for anyone else looking at this in the future, it's a point to remember.
