question background

Hi Guys.

I wrote a lot of autoit scripts in last year and I saw something very annoying.

For example when I search some words in a big file. For example in this little function who can rename variables from a .au3 file.

Func testme($m)
    Local $file = FileRead($m),$newfile = $file
    Local $arfile = 0, $i = 0, $line = 0,$variables = 0, $j = 0, $test = 0
    _FileReadToArray($m, $arfile)
    If $arfile[0] = "" Then
        Return 0
    EndIf
    For $i = 1 To $arfile[0] Step +1
        $line = StringSplit($arfile[$i], " =,()[]")
        If Not @error Then
            For $j = 1 To $line[0] Step +1
                $test = StringSplit($line[$j], "$")
                If Not @error Then
                _ReplaceStringInFile($newcopy, $line[$j], $varsign & FORMULAVARIABLES())
                EndIf
            Next
        EndIf
    Next
    Return 1
Endfunc

Func FORMULAVARIABLES()
    Local $v1 = Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1)) & Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1)) & Random(1000, 100000, 1) & Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1)) & Random(1000, 100000, 1)
    Return $v1
EndFunc

All works good but if I apply this on a big file with 20k lines for example and it took like 1 minute (too much time)

Now my question. Is any method to make jobs with autoit to run in background like a backgroundworker,without makeing the form to freeze?

If exist already a topic with this and i didnt found it then please excuse me and post a link to there. I am new here and I wasn't so patient to read all stuffs

PS: Why my name is not remain as I put it? It always changing to this default one! - " Solved"
