Hi,

I get a "Error: HotKeys/Hotstrings are not allowed inside functions" from both of the following cases:



This works fine, however:



Ant.

EDIT: actually it looks like its not possible to set a variable to a value that contains :: anywhere in a script.

EDIT 2: though this, and testFunction2 above, can be worked around, eg:

The above line is a syntax error unless you've changed #CommentFlag to be // rather than semicolon.

A double colon is one of the few things you have to escape inside a quoted string. Generally, you don't have to escape commas or percent signs when they're in quotes. I'll check if there's a way to avoid the need for `:: in future versions.

Oh dear yes, serves me right for posting in a hurry.

works fine. I tend to use ;// for comments as my editor has a C syntax hilighting mode which works fine for AHK except for comments. I've been flicking between C, AHK, Perl, Java & C# today, and must have got confused!

Sorry!

Ant.
