AutoHotkey Community

I want to make the switch to AHK_L but I have not been able to find the documentation I need to learn the differences between AHK and AHK_L. I am sure I will be insulted for not finding it, but I did look.

One of the things I am having trouble with are RegExMatch's. I have several patterns that will find a match in Classic, but fail in AHK_L. Everyone in the IRC chat assures me that there is no difference, but there must be. If I run one script in Classic and it works, and then run the very same script in L and it doesn't, a difference must exist.

Can anyone point me to AHK_L RegEx documentation.

Can you post an example of code that succeeds in the original and fails in _L?

Variable In Use



The If statement evaluates True in Classic, false in L

Works fine for me in both, do you have your script saved as Unicode?

I don't think so, but I have not looked into unicode use in AHK. I have the file saved as a .ahk.

Save the script with File Encoding UTF-8 (see the image here)

That did it, thank you!
