I wonder: if you link to a lib that contains C-library code, does that code get omitted if the project already has the same code... hopefully so, or maybe C-library code doesn't get added into LIBs th ...

Some quick remarks.

@Chris: whatever you decide in the way of functions, interfaces etc., remember that some people will use REs not only for short and sweet match/replace games. I regularly do che ...

If you happen to find some other PCRE variant that's more suitable -- due to licensing, code size, performance, etc. -- please let me know.For PCREAHK.DLL I used 5.0 of PCRE and I used that version fo ...

The idea is feasible and sound. In fact, I think a utility that can process text and does not support regexes (or can be extended to do so) is not a serious tool. I know that people shrink back from R ...

I have posted an updated version of my Perl interface library. Three main changes:
* supports AHK (as before) and now also AutoIT3
* has direct functions for initialising Perl variables
* supports ...

In theory, yes. In practice Winroll works smoother than all those home-spun AHK scripts. I've spent enough time debugging these to appreciate that nifty little helper.

Re PSPad and word wrap... I know the 4.3.x versions were shaky.

But the two guys who complained about word wrap... did you ever check with the current 4.5 version of PSPad?

Word wrap is one of t ...

Winroll, only ~20k executable, does the following (grabbed from the website http://www.palma.com.au/winroll/ ):
Make a window roll into its title bar, send it to the back or make it stay on top. Mini ...

But LUA is missing some of the important AHK commands (might be wrong since I do not know LUA)
Both you and daonlyfreez are mixing up features provided by runtime libraries with syntax. The foundatio ...

You probably long for a VBScriptish/Basicish/Javaish kindof 'mature' syntax? With lot's a dots, parentheses, quotes and other 'essentials'?
No. That's what I referred to in another post as syntactic ...

A person's preferred syntax and scripting style seem to be highly personal (based on taste)
I disagree. I have in my time written programs in 6502 Asm, BASIC, 8086 Asm, Pascal, Modula-2, C, C++ (ugly ...

When I read this topic, it gets to my mind that some "real" programmers would like to have some AHK features but would like to stick with a "real" language/syntax. As a AHK followe ...

it may be a long time before backward compatibility is relinquished, if ever.
In my view there's only one sensible way to get rid of the dreaded backwards compatibility problem and that would be to s ...

Another of these discussions that will lead nowhere... as long as AHK is coaxed into doing two incompatible things at the same time*, this problem will not go away.

AHK's syntax is so inscrutable ( ...

No, single language.

But I have found the problem. I have this:

+\:: Send, \

and this:

^+\:: Send, |
