| The script here is very short, but slower and cannot be compiled-run without AHK installed on the target machine. The other script is complex, and only handles arithmetic expressions, but does not have the other limitations. I did not see much interest, anyway. I am using an even more complex variant (which handles hex, user defined operators, etc.), which is really handy to convert between hex and decimal, do logic and math, etc. If someone is interested, he has to read the documentation, unfortunately. |

Majkinator is just mad because he couldn't use it to pick up chicks either. I thought you said chocolate, friend! Big chocolate! |

Only there do I disagree with you. A freeware expression evaluator like this is a hot item! Or am I just a nerd?

I don't suppose you can show us this one!

Real men don't need documentation. Documentation is for those people, well, who can read! |

I will, but recently I started to enhance it further, and it is under construction now. The new features include base-2 constants and output, assignments and relational operators. They don't work perfectly, yet. Any wishes (besides impressing gals)? |

BPM to HZ? No, really, ATM I only need something simple. Even the one that sends text to the Windows calculator would be adequate, and universal to Windows users. So I don't have any requests, but hope to do one myself still, using a snippet you have been so good as to provide.
But right now I'm simply building a lengthy script to fill in boilerplate for the transcript I'm going to be working on tomorrow. Else I might play with this now. Once I create some of my basic boilerplate scripts I should be able to play w/ AHK more.
BTW, I used to use Rik Blok's "Toolbar," a VB tool to do this stuff, in combination with Corel WP's extensive keyboard macro scripting capabilities. I think AHK is hopefully going to replace them both. Toolbar is already history, as Dragon Naturally Speaking interferes with it. Dragon doesn't appear to have a problem w/ AHK. |

No, I am mad because I expect more from proffesor Laszlo. Why should only he use advanced version with custom operators and hex. I want it to. I don't like unfinished things.
Proffesor, please !

| I need a few more days for testing the monster version. I will post it under a new thread. It is hard to say when something is finished. You can always add more functions. At some point further additions make the script worse (slower, larger, buggy, harder to maintain), so you could say a previous version was the "finished" variant. I asked, what people would use, because removing ballast is hard. |

Can't you just have some, .... scientific mode ? More functions a little slower, but much more power

OK. I posted the monster version here. It is complex and most likely buggy. I will fix it, as problems arise.

I think this version is the easiest to use, except for elementary school pupils.

I found GUI calculators harder to use, but the Windows Power Toy Calculator should be sufficient, if you prefer it that way. |

Me too, it is stupid to click on buttons (except as shortcut to function names, at worse) while typing on the numeric keyboard is much faster...
My favorite calculator is currently ECW Expression Calculator, which let you type expressions and evaluate them in real time, showing the result in various bases (10, 16, 2...). Unfortunately, the original Web site is down, but the program can be found in various download sites.
