Re: Parsing XML Document Resulting In Random Special Characters

Re: Automating green screen video editing

You aren't being specific enough about how everything works in order to get help.

You can use WatchFolder() or WatchDirectory() to watch a folder and execute script when a new file is added to a folder. But you would need to break down the rest of the steps in order to get more help.

Re: Help with script Topic is solved

Try this; the first time you press 3 it will do nothing, but it will work after that.

Code: Select all

3::
Pause
Loop
{
 Send, {n}
 Sleep, 100
 Send, {t}
 Sleep, 100
}
I'm not sure why, but this only works with the sleep in there and won't work with SetKeyDelay.

The program works by writing the contents of the forms to a text file, and then sending the text file to the server. I am trying to automat...

Re: Control Delete for Listbox: Fail

Sorry, I'm trying to simply a ton of code. All used variables are already declared global.

Basically I have a working function when I activate it via a GUI button, but the function won't work from within the code.

Control Delete for Listbox: Fail

I have a script that is a few thousand lines of code, so I will try to summarize here. I have a code that watches a folder new files to be added to it, and then adds the file name to a listbox. When the user selects an item on the listbox, it displays the contents of the associated file in an edit b...

Re: WatchFolder()

I've tried to figure this out for the last couple of hours, but without any simple examples, I can't make any sense of this. I just want to open a file when it is created in a specific directory. Can somebody please give an example of what that would look like?

Better way to launch script when new file is created?

I am fairly new to AHK, and I created a working script, but I am hoping there might be a much more efficient way to go about it. I have a folder that somewhat randomly has files written into it with random file names. My script loops through all of the files in the folder every 5 seconds. The script...
