Automatic Load And Unload Scripts

@DJSures

As my projects get larger I am thinking it would be easier if I could automatically close one project file and load another from within a EZ-Script.

We can already auto start a script at application start-up but could this functionality be extended to load and execute a preselected project from within a script?

My thinking is this...

While away on holiday I worked on my bots file and saved it to Dropbox. Dropbox was synced while driving past an open wifi hotspot while touristing around.

My bot could be set to compare file timestamps and if finding a new version automatically reloads and runs his project file.

Thinking even bigger...

What about being able to load a line from the text file into the console and execute it? We can already Say and Print so what about Console ?

Passing the variables should be as easy as writing them out to a csv file and then importing them again?

As for the the loss of connection.... My thinking was more along the lines of the bot changing b builder files according to environments. When in the workshop my robot needs to be able to do/use different things/tools in comparison the when it is interacting with me in the lounge or even office.

Say my bot notices that I have updated its ARC file it then reloads with the newer files automatically when it returns to the recharge base.

Going further still what about allowing the robot to rewrite its own script, save and then reload it as part of an updated ARC file. Eg. Self optimizing a routine so the most frequently called sections 'float' to the top is saved and reloaded self optimizing the script. (Probably not so necessary with the already optimized code in ARC but you get my drift)

And yeah yeah I know the Skynet thing.... lol
