Re: ahk how to ping another computer in same network Topic is solved
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.

Re: Please help me out with good learning resources for autohotkey
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 ...

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?

Send (and alternatives) results in 'Send' itself being included Topic is solved
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'.

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...

Re: How to block Microsoft Edge from opening - except when I click its EXE or LNK shortcut? Topic is solved
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 ...

Re: powershell gwmi equivalent or syntax.
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...

Re: French keyboard letter ä
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 ...

@RickC thanks for the comment. Which part of your script triggers the "Rename" setting for the file (ie. right click > Rename)? My fault...

Re: How to Get Number of Pages of Open Foxit PDF Document Topic is solved
I haven't yet found a way using AHK but I've been using a PowerShell script with a free commandline utility called PDFINFO to find the page count of PDF files in a folder. For example, scanning a folder of 60 PDF files took just 3 seconds to return a list of each PDF file with their page count. PDFI...
