AutoIT process communication

[NetworkGeezer]

I know you can use standard input/output to communicate between AutoIt and a child process spawned by Run() but what environmental variables?

Is it possible to allow the child process to change variables from AutoIt's environment?

Is it possible to allow the child process to change variables from AutoIt's environment?

What are you trying to do then ?

You could use the ClipPut, ClipGet functions.

You could probably use the TCPxxx/UDPxxx functions but I haven't the faintest idea where to begin!

The AutoIt help states that changes to the environment are not visible to it's parent. This is normal Windows process behaviour.
