This is simple Trick. you can ahk command with msdos command in following way.

 

echo "ahk command" > %temp%\tmp.ahk | start %temp%\tmp.ahk

 

as i want to message hello world.

 

echo msgbox hello world > %temp%\tmp.ahk | start %temp%\tmp.ahk

 

in above dos command underline is ahk command.

thank you GS SAHU

here an useless script uses your idea 

aa:="echo msgbox hello world>%temp%\tmp.ahk|start %temp%\tmp.ahk"
Run,%comspec% /k, , , pid2
WinWait, ahk_pid %pid2%
ControlSend, ,cd\`n%aa%`n, ahk_pid %pid2%
return

There's no need for a temporary file with AutoHotkey v1.1.17+.

echo msgbox hello world | AutoHotkey /ErrorStdOut *

However, you might need to use the full path or add the AutoHotkey directory to the PATH env var.

Or you can use a batch file:

echo %* | "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" /ErrorStdOut *

For convenience, you can save it somewhere that's listed in the PATH env var.

If you're doing it from AutoHotkey in the first place, there's no need for cmd.exe and the console window. See ExecScript().

thanks for your attention in this topic.

your guide line motivate to create a batch file for ahk prompt

cls
echo off
:top
set /p ahk= "ahk:>"
if /i  "%ahk%" equ "quit" goto eof
echo %ahk% | "c:\program files\autohotkey\autohotkey.exe" /errorstdout *
goto top
:eof

save above code in ahk.bat and run it.

its provide a prompt

 

ahk:>

give a command

ahk:>msgbox hello world

ahk:>WinActivate, Untitled - Notepad

 

Limitation: we can't  carry result to next command.

just setup doskey for your favorite bits of code

[GS SAHU]

Doskey also working in ahk prompt. we can use up down arrow keys.
