Any way to send variable to ahk code when starting script?

[Gh0sTG0]

Hi. Can I, somehow, start ahk code, but make it accept some variable as a part of the code?
Smth like, I have in my some_loop.ahk file:

Loop, %my_variable%
    MsgBox, %A_Index% | %my_variable%
ExitApp

And in my python code:

from ahk import AHK

ahk = AHK()
how_many_loops = 10
script_path = r'd:\some_loop.ahk'
ahk.run_script(script_path)

So, is there some way to transfer how_many_loops into ahk's my_variable?

Ofc I can do something like:

ahk_script1 = f'num = {how_many_loops}'
with open(r'd:\some_loop.ahk', 'r', -1, 'UTF-8') as file:
    ahk_script2 = file.read()

ahk_script = ahk_script1 + ahk_script2
ahk.run_script(ahk_script)

Plus add some lines to beginning of some_loop.ahk, Biga function, because for some reasons ahk stubbornly continues thinking that num is string and should be processed only as string. And no, it really don't want to use it as number, until Biga converts it...):

the_biga := new biga()
my_variable := the_biga.parseInt(num)

Loop, %my_variable%
    MsgBox, %A_Index% | %my_variable%
ExitApp

But maybe there are some better ways?

I think you've got the right idea by modifying your script using Python to inject your variable before calling run_script.

Though, I'm not sure what your issue is with the use of your variable with your loop or why you need to use BigA.

For example, this works:

num = 3

; This will loop 3 times
Loop, %num% {
    MsgBox, Loop %A_Index% out of %num%
}

Not sure if there's something I'm missing here.

Oh, looks like I find what was the problem...
To make ahk understand words from not-english language I re-saved ahk script as utf-8 with BOM.
And, it somehow makes things broken...
If I re-save file as utf-8 (without BOM) it starts understanding that a:=5 is integer.
PS Looks like this should go to issues tab?
