 Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:07 am Post subject: Reading commented data from multitude of files? possible? |
 |
|
Hi,
I currently have this script
| Code: | !F1:: ;Alt-F1: Display all hotkeys
;jethrow
data:=
needle = ["=:].*?::|;; ;excludes hotstrings
;needle = ["=].*?::|;; ;doesn't exclude hotstrings
Loop, Read, %A_ScriptFullPath%
If InStr(A_LoopReadLine,"::") && Not RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine,needle)
data .= RegExReplace(A_LoopReadLine,".*?:: `;") "`n"
StringTrimRight, data, data, 1
MsgBox %data%
Return
mostly thanks to jethrow |
which is designed to open up my ahk file, and look for all the hotkeys that have comments like:
#1: ;Win-1: This is the comment
and then display it in a messagebox.
That way, i have an easy way of making my own reminder of my hotkeys, as I don't need to update any code I just need to comment each of my new hotkeys.
However - after looking on lifehacker I came across this:
http://lifehacker.com/5457619/autohotkey-autoinclude-organizes-consolidates-your-ahk-workflow
which I would really like to use - however I am not sure how I could go about combining the two items so that I can still have my Alt-F1 hotkey.
Is it possible? If not I will probably not use the autoinclude file 
Thanks very much |

Interesting idea..
You could modify your script to detect just the "<hotkey>::" part ---> Use it to detect all hotkeys in all the scripts you want to use
Also, modify it to also detect "Hotkey, <hotkey>" commands, in case they are used
Then if another "!F1::" is found then can either change that one, or change your script's one, into another <hotkey> |

Hm I am not exactly sure what you are saying.
The f1 part of my script works great, i am just not sure how to make it work after i split up my script into many files with the 'autoinclude' thing I mentioned - so it will be reading hotkeys from multiple files - at the moment it is set up to just read from one |

Oh .. i thought you meant that there was >1 !F1:: conflicting hotkeys in the included scripts
I get it now: The trouble is with the hotkeys ending the auto-execute section, so that any code "after" the 1st hotkey is not getting executed
I recall reading a thread about this very issue just recently, and i think the solution was to use Gosub (or a local function call) which allows each #Included file to have it's own auto-execute (or something like that) .. i'll have to try and find that thread again |

Yeh lol that isn't the issue either there is a fix outlined in the lifehacker post for that 
The issue is:
So that the F1 hotkey can read the hotkeys from more than one file - currently it works by reading the hotkey information from only one file
If you want i can make a video to show it a bit more |

Try something like this...
| Code: | ; Specifiy folder where you will put files to be included
A_WorkingDir = %A_ScriptDir%\SubFolder
; The file pathnames
MainFile := A_ScriptFullPath
IncludeFile1 = %A_WorkingDir%\IncludeFile1.ahk
IncludeFile2 = %A_WorkingDir%\IncludeFile1.ahk
IncludeFile3 = %A_WorkingDir%\IncludeFile1.ahk
; The includes
#Include %IncludeFile1%
#Include %IncludeFile2%
#Include %IncludeFile3%
; The hotkey
!F1:: ;Alt-F1: Display all hotkeys
data:=
needle = ["=:].*?::|;; ;excludes hotstrings
;needle = ["=].*?::|;; ;doesn't exclude hotstrings
Loop, Read, %MainFile%
Gosub RepeatThis
Loop, Read, %IncludeFile1%
Gosub RepeatThis
Loop, Read, %IncludeFile2%
Gosub RepeatThis
Loop, Read, %IncludeFile3%
Gosub RepeatThis
Goto after
RepeatThis:
If InStr(A_LoopReadLine,"::") && Not RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine,needle)
data .= RegExReplace(A_LoopReadLine,".*?:: `;") "`n"
Return
after:
StringTrimRight, data, data, 1
MsgBox %data%
Return |

Thanks very much for the help - however that isn't actually what I am asking
My solution for running multiple scripts is fine - I just want it so the F1 hotkey mentioned in the first post can read the hotkeys from more than one file - currently it works by reading the hotkey information from only one file
If you want i can make a video to show it a bit more |

Ah okay thanks for that. I wasn't sure how to integrate that into:
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2010/01/autohotkey.all.ahk
So what I did was change the autoinclude script so it made a file and combined it all so I am not looking at separate files - however I discovered another problem that In the autoinclude thing It gave me an error, I believe because my main script is saved as unicode, however i dont know how to change the autoinclude file so that it will same the remporary combined script in unicode :/
So
a) not sure how to integrate that into the autoinclude.ahk file as the variable is %A_LoopFileFullPath%
b) need the autoinclude.ahk file to save the temp file as unicode - HOWever, that is not an issue if I can fix problem a 
Sorry for my lack of coding experience, the only coding i have done is some vb6, but I would really appricate it if you could help me integrate that (post above) into this:

I have looked at the AutoInclude script, and it is really not that user friendly .. it could be better
So i am modifying it "slightly"

Here's the first basic working version  ---> AutoIncludes.exe
Edit: Latest version here ---> AutoIncludes
Compiled for WinXP
You need to manually (possibly will put into gui later) create your "Include Set" file, which is a .txt file containing the full path(s) to the include folders to be included
I will post the code here at some point
