| I want to be able to send a Hotkey to a friend for him to borrow, but only as a temporary thing. Is there a way for the hotkey to delete itself in a certain time limit after activation? |

| Sure - FileDelete the ahk file and use the ExitApp command. |

Simple and effective..
| Code: |
IF A_Yday >= 295
FileDelete, %A_ScriptFullPath%
|
Today is the 295 day of the year. Just set the number to a short period in the future. Put this code at the start of your code and it will check the current day of the year and delete the file if the day is equal or greater then your "trip" date. |

Ok so what this does is, if I run the AHK for this code, it will dete the AHK. But the EXE for this does nothing. What would I put for the directory if i wanted to delete the EXE upon activation of the EXE? |

Use cmd (Comspec).

| Code: | OnExit: ; subroutine called when this script is ready to exit.
If A_Now > 20091225000000 ; e.g. sometime after next X-mas eve...
; delete this script file (.ahk OR .exe) 3 seconds after it terminates.
Run %comspec% /c ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul & Del "%A_ScriptFullPath%",, HIDE
Exitapp ; exit & close the script |
This is how it's done for compiled scripts.

If you use >20 it will always go off. As , this is much lower then any date shown by A_Now (20091225000000)
Try this. Have a FileInstall comand in your script that drops a delete file that is ran on exitapp..
write this into your code.
| Code: |
ExitApp:
IF A_Yday >= 295
{
Run, Deleter.exe
ExitApp
}
|
Create a second little exe that contains only these lines and is named deleter.
| Code: |
FileAttrib, -r, YourfileName.exe ; Make sure it is not read only.
Filedelete, yourfilename.exe ; Delete the file
|
and at the very start of your main script include..
| Code: |
FileInstall, Deleter.exe, Deleter.exe, 1
|
That should work for you. You can always have the "Deleter" put into a temp directory or have it as a hidden file. You can tweek this method as much as you want... change locations and names..
The problem you will have is that you must close the program before it can be deleted. So, you start a second program and then kill the first with the second.
FileDelete will not send it to the recycle bin. |
