Is there a way to run the commands from the command line instead of making scripts for everything you want to do?

Example:

AutoHotKey Click

Instead of having to create a file with Click in it and then running that file?

I know it might sound like a weird question, but I really need it.

Thanks!

Basically, the answer is no...
There might be workarounds, but we need to know the exact use case.

Solution can be made in the form of a batch file.

ahk.bat command, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5


This will be slow as istance of AHK must be executed for eatch command.
Better approach would be to communicate with running instance of AHK and send it the command typed in console. Running instance can execute this command dynamicaly using Execute(..) function in the scripts.

A virtual script! Interesting to create virtual/self-dissappearing viruses !?

Wasn't there a program written that whatever you pass to it in variables, the name of an AutoHotkey command and parameters, it executes that command?

So you'd just need a little bit more - which may already exist - for a script that accepts command line parameters and uses that module to run the specified command.

I wouldn't mind being able to write a Cmd file or a Windows shortcut that contains something like "WinSet, Top, OnscreenKeyboard". Put it in the Quick Launch bar. Of course I can perfectly well have a shortcut that points to an AHk script, but that means more maintenance and possibly less portability - in the sense of making it harder to move the thing between computers.
