Go to https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L-Docs and click "Download ZIP". You'll get the source in a zip file.

P.S. I don't actually use it because it's easier to type. I use it because it's easier to read later. The typing is pretty much a wash.

Lexicos: I mainly mentioned it because it's a handy trick. I've used it on a bunch of files that I didn't have source to. I did it with the AHK file a long time before I knew where the source was. Smorgasbord: Surprised it didn't work. You can just grab the source, or if you're having trouble with h...

That's funny. I have almost those exact same hotstrings ;)

Good to know about the objects. I thought sure they were treated as false, but I must have confused some different tests.

All in all, I'm super-happy with the current regex support, so all is well.

You are running into something that almost everybody has trouble with. Someday in my copious free time I will write a long explanation of it, but maybe I can give you a few quick points. Most applications are made up of a hierarchical collection of "Windows", each of which contains zero or more "con...

I love the ~= syntax myself and use it all the time, but I also frequently wish I could get at the results. The only problem with the match syntax above is that it doesn't allow you to check for the results easily because an object is treated as false in an IF statement, so in most cases I think it ...

An easy way to do that sort of thing is to decompile the help file. You can decompile any .CHM file using the -decompile switch on hh.exe. That gives you all of the original files that went into the help file, then you can do anything you want with them. I do this all the time to pull apart the inde...

INI files are read every time but the drive caches the file so they're quite fast. I've used them for years with quite a few variables and even timed it to make sure it was ok. Don't have the numbers still, but it's easy to make a little timer to test them with A_TickCount. If you want to bulk proce...

Not quite - "an" precedes words that start with a vowel sound. http://www.grammar.com/a-vs-an-when-to-use/

Wade Hatler

I like that one.

Wade Hatler

My pleasure.

It's not obvious but the filename is Spyxx.exe, not Spy++. In Visual Studio it's in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\spyxx.exe

or similar.

Wade Hatler

Spy++ will do that. Download the Windows SDK or Visual Studio Express and you'll find it there.

FWIW I've used tools with a more readable syntax. Vocala uses something like Ctrl+Alt+X in their equivalent of Send and I liked it half the time and hated it the rest. It is easier to read, and not much harder to type so on balance I think I'd like it, but it's pretty low on my priority list. I run ...

Zelio's example is very good, so go with that. You can replace the URL with a filename for a local file. You can build the HTML file with any decent web editor, or a text editor if you know basic HTML. You wait for ReadyState == 4 if you want to do something after the text is rendered, such as the a...

Wade Hatler

DOH!! That does the trick. Right there staring me in the face ;)

Agree on Feedler. It works great so I'll try the feed.

Wade Hatler

There's probably a really clever way to do it with GUI commands, but I'd probably punt and use an HTML control. That would give you really rich control over the look very easily. There are a couple examples on the forum. Here's a little fragment that will do it from HTML in a file or in a variable. ...

Wade Hatler

That would make it easier to watch all activity on the board. There may be a way to do this, but I couldn't figure it out.

Wade Hatler

Good enough for me. I'll abandon the old board completely. Bummer we have to do this. It's a strong community with one exception.

Wade Hatler

Like everybody else, I really hate the idea of the fork, but if it has to be done I guess it has to be done. Does anybody know what polyethylene actually wants? Would throwing some money at him do the job, and if so how much would it take? If this forum is going to be successful it's going to need t...
