Thank you! I was unsuccessfully trying all sorts of things at the Command Prompt:
Code:
> autohotkey -version
> autohotkey -v
> autohotkey /?

Then thought about asking, but thought, "No, I'm a guy. Guys never ask. I can figure this out."

Then tried searching the AutoHotkey Command List page (commands.htm) for "version".

Decided it would be easier to ask.

the main page of the help file also has a version number. This assumes you update the help when you update the exe. You'd have to try to not update them at the same time, though.

um seriously.... Confused OH MY Rolling Eyes
1 mouse clicks from there and your answer is visible

Built-in Variables
Built-in Variables wrote:
A_AhkVersion In versions prior to 1.0.22, this variable is blank. Otherwise, it contains the version of AutoHotkey that is running the script, such as 1.0.22. In the case of a compiled script, the version that was originally used to compile it is reported. The formatting of the version number allows a script to check whether A_AhkVersion is greater than some minimum version number with > or >= as in this example: if A_AhkVersion >= 1.0.25.07

I find its helpfull to read all the commands and documentation when i learn any language even tho for 99% of what i do its pointless..... nevermind your right why bother Wink

I thought you were referring to a .chm help file, or kind of help that's kept on my computer, with some way of invoking it via autohotkey, that I'm supposed to update when I update autohotkey.

There should be a CHM help file in the Autohotkey directory. I have it open almost every day.
