I have a laptop with 8MB RAM, running AutoHotkey 1.1 (1.1.37.01) in Windows 10 (1809). That, my friend, is impossible. Minimum system requirements for Window 10 are 1GB for 32 bit and 2GB for 64 bit. Russ Oops... thanks for picking up the typo. I'll leave it there for the amusement of others. Must ...

So, I made two mistakes... 1) my 'rounding' maths and 2) not realising the result copied to the clipboard held both a return and a newline character in addition to the number.

Thank you, @CoffeeChaton, for your help. I was going round and round in circles.

Many thanks, @gregster, for the additional info.

ROFL... such an elementary mistake. Thanks, @JoeWinograd , for the advice.

The code worked for me when I matched the variable in line 1 to the MsgBox output variable in line 2... and I didn't have to 'quote' the IP address.

FormatTime, TimeString,, dd-MMM-yyyy ^Insert:: SendInput, %TimeString% Why does this snippet (the first 2 lines of a much longer 'helper' script) not insert the current date, only the last date that the device was rebooted? I've gone through the v1 documentation but cannot see what I am missing for...

I would also check out Jack's AutoHotkey Blog - https://jacks-autohotkey-blog.com/ IMO he spends a lot of time explaining code and concepts with multiple examples. I even bought his books... all of them. :) Sadly he's stopped adding new blog articles since about June 2021; but there's a huge amount ...

Code: Select all

Run, powershell -NoExit -Command (get-netconnectionprofile).name

or

Code: Select all

Run, powershell -NoExit -Command (gip).NetProfile.Name

(slightly slower)

Considering this thread's post title and how - more than a year later - it's mostly off-topic... isn't it time to retire it gracefully?

Use NIr Sofer's small, free, portable USBDeview to script via commandline. You can use device name, description, VID\PID or serial no. to enable/disable USB devices. See https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html for more info and read the commandline examples. For example: USBDeview.exe /d...

Thanks, BoBo , for the explanation. Silly of me - you're right of course. I just wasn't thinking. I changed the line to the following and it now works perfectly. :*:---::_______________________________________________________________ ; Send 63 consecutive underscore characters to form horizontal lin...

RickC

I used to use the following to create a horizontal line in a forum post: :*:---::[hr][/hr] ; Send HTML tags for horizontal line by presssing 3 hyphens However, whilst effective, the horizontal line was very faint. I found that using consecutive underline characters created a thicker horizontal line....

I haven't tested either yet but your replies to both of my questions make perfect sense. That's what I meant by 'brainfog'.

EDIT: Worked immediately... after hours chasing my own tail. So easy when it's pointed out to you... Thank you @boiler !

Q1. Is it better to a) compose/build text using the Windows clipboard before dumping to a text file or b) is the use of FileAppend a better/preferred method? Pros/Cons? Q2. How to use a 'newline' command with clipboard contents? This works perfectly: clipboard := "my text" ; Give the clipboard entir...

By default Microsoft Edge runs some automatic actions to give the impression that it loads quickly. These automatic actions pre-load Edge processes and prepare the Start tab in the background, hidden... so you need to stop them being called. Save the following as a REG file: Windows Registry Editor ...

You can still use PowerShell commands or scripts wrapped in AHK . For example: Run, powershell -NoExit -Command (Get-CimInstance -class Win32_Battery).BatteryStatus https://i.postimg.cc/j28yVbnt/run-powershell-command-wrapped-in-ahk.png A result of 2 (as in the screenshot) shows the device is runnin...

Almost the same as garry 's code but I prefer to use a hotstring replacement rather than a hotkey: :*:aaa::ä All this means is "wait until 3 consecutive a letters are typed (i.e. aaa ) then immediately overtype them with the diacritic letter ä ". Choose another hotstring for text replacement if you ...

Run, powershell.exe C:\Users\user1\PoweShell\Duplicate Selected Files.ps1 Running the above example just opens the blue powershell CMD window and it quickly flashes, the script does not run. Running the below example opens the blue powershell CMD window and keeps it open, the script does not run. R...
