Re: change password to something memorable?
Thanks. It is good to be back. I finally got a Laptop with W10 on it. Android devices are fine but no way I can totally give up on Windows.

change password to something memorable?
I got back into my account for the first time in a while. Now I have the "whole bunch of letters and numbers" password issued by using the forgot my password mechanism. I cannot for the life of me find the button to allow me to change the password to something I can remember. Nothing in User Control...

Re: How to move caret (text cursor) backwards in a line Topic is solved
If what you mean is the SendInput is going into an edit type control and after it is done you want the cursor where the asterisk is, then
Code: Select all
+^h::
SendInput, (B)(I)(U)(/B)(/I)(/U)
SendInput,{Left 12}

Re: Variable Incrementing
Instead of individual variables what you want to do seems perfectly suitable for Pseudo-Arrays. Search in the help for examples. Basically it is a variable name with a number tacked on the end. 0 has the count of items in the array which are indexed from 1 to count. The examples in the help show how...

Re: Is Windows Explorer context menu persistent?
You could make a shortcut in the StartUp folder so that the program will start with Windows. #SingleInstance,force could be used so that another instance launched by context menu will replace the current one with the command line argument being the file right clicked on. Have the hotkey ignore the c...

Re: How can I grab text from a file and put it in a textedit
If you look in the help for the Edit gui control it shows an example how to put the entire file into the control. Search on:Nacrioz wrote:It works, though is there a way to put it into a existing text edit?
GuiControl,, MyEdit, %FileContents%
to see the example snippet.

Re: How can I grab text from a file and put it in a textedit
Try using "global" as the first line of the function
Global ; now the function can see Filelocate and UserTextInput defined in the Gui code

Re: My Scroll Lock toggle is inconsistent and only works the first couple times. Topic is solved
So, I discovered it only works when Chrome is in the foreground. What gives? edit: it was some other scripts I had on top of this one. I made a seperate .ahk file and it works fine. Case closed. It is easy to leave a #IfWinActive hanging effecting all code below it. That is why many ahk coders get ...

Re: My Scroll Lock toggle is inconsistent and only works the first couple times. Topic is solved
A simple fix easy to test would be to change the hotkey from ~ScrollLock to $ScrollLock. Use Send to send ScrollLock so that the system updates. I would give a 1/4 second delay (Sleep, 250) then do the GetKeyState() test. What I am thinking is when using the tilde it may be a timing issue. The state...

Re: Find string in a very large file
Just call FileGetSize as a sanity check. If it is on the large side use the loop method. Or you could amaze your friends and do API calls to memory map the file(for those with too much time on their hands.)jeeswg wrote: Btw as was said above 60,000 lines isn't necessarily that much.

Re: Find string in a very large file
How long are the lines? When I calculate 60000 lines of 256 chars each it is still less than 15 MB. So call it 30 MB for double byte characters. Seems like it may be fine to load the entire file into a variable and search it. At least worth a benchmark to compare it to reading the file in a loop.

Re: Recover accidentally closed window/program
I think the approach I would take would be to use a FIFO queue, which is easily implemented using Object functions such as Push and RemoveAt. Items in the queue should have at least the window handle and the time they were hidden. Periodically a routine should take an entry from the front of the que...

Nobody who posts a VirusTotal result seems to take note of the graphic in the top right corner if there are any scans that show red. If you take a look at the graphic is shows the arrow in the green. To me that indicates the file is likely benign. That little graphic is user-generated. It indicates...

Re: Recover accidentally closed window/program
Here is another on a similar idea. Skrommel took a different approach with Gone In 60 Seconds. When you click the 'x' or Alt F4 a window, he hides it. Then if 60 seconds go by without you trying to recover it, he actually closes it. Source is included. It may be worth a search in DonationColder.com ...
