using this as my example, how do I pass a string value out of VBS back to AHK ?



How do I get strFileDate back into AHK and then use it ? Thanks

Replying to my own post - bad...

I don't know if this would be of use to anyone, I tried searching on how to get an array out of vb script into ahk but this is what I came up with that worked...

well with this I'm putting something in an array then extracting it into AHK, this can be useful if you're looking up how many people in a list that starts with the last name G or something like that...


if you can understand what I'm trying to say LOL

If this was already figured out let me know and I'll remove this....

So far this is the first I've seen anyone trying to pass arrays between environments. You got the right idea, although the line shouldn't be there (could crash the program).

An alternative approach might be to join all the array items together in a comma-delimited string, then split up the string in AHK. Although that gets tricky if the array items contained commas, so your approach is more robust.

something like this?



as long as you escape the comma in the loop parse you should be ok.. I'm suprised in the sort line though it sorted the way I wanted it to

and yeah you're right about the release, although it never crashed my ahk (yet)

This had been attemped to an extent here: Arrays using ws4ahk, & Dictionary\Array Objects

Maybe somebody can help me:

I have 2 scripts:

script "A" creates an object and passes the object to script "B" to start any action.

Background information:

Since AHK does no multi-threading I would like to use all off my CPUs by doing some actions one the same object with different parameters in parallel.

Many thanks in advance.

I am fairly certain that WSH does no multi threading also so your code would have to wait in line any how

Unfortunately I don't know any way to use do multi-threading with the Windows Scripting Control (that ws4ahk uses). My best guess is that it can't be done.

Is it possible to do something like this?

Script a.ahk (not realy a script, just to show, what I want to do):


Script b.ahk:

I'm seeing several errors in your code, but I understand what you're trying to do, and there's no way that would work. You would have to do some very impressive hacking to share objects in memory between two processes.

If you absolutely must run a multi-threaded/multi-process task, I can only suggest the different threads/processes communicate via pipes (stdin/out), Window messages, writing and reading files, or networking. But in all those cases, it's still impossible to share objects in memory. You would only be able to send data, and each thread/process would have to do what it needed to create objects with that data.

Thanks for your answer.

I will have to find a different way to solve my problem.

Hi
I'm using ws4ahk.ahk with in a script and it works well.

How every I occasionally get a pop up saying :



Is there anyway to increase the timeout on the script to stop this happening ?
I'm hoping this is something with in ws4ahk !! ?

Thanks

I've tried adding:


But that doesn't work !!

I'm testing using this:


Any ideas ?

Adding this extra function should let you set the timeout.
