Title: scripting within EA
Post by: xkrystof on November 29, 2007, 12:49:01 am

Hi,

I created script (*.wsc), I registered it as an compoment and it is possible to run it as Add-Inn.
However, every time when I change the code of the script, I need to close EA and open it, to run script with altered code. It is really time consuming ...

Is there any way for scripting in EA, when I can have EA opened for the all time, change the code and run it?

thanks
Jan

Yes,if you use Perl. I invoke a Perl script that offers all Perl scripts in a certain directory in the context menu. Then I can change these aty any time as they will be executed dynamically.

You can look here http://www.eausergroup.org/

I posted some Perl/WSH coding some years ago (always promising to update/transfer it to the Wiki, but really no time
