Re: [v2] Scintilla Edit control class
Thanks for posting this. I needed a simple editor control so I took portions of your code to build this minimalist demo and updated it for the lastest v2 (2.0-a108-a2fa0498). Maybe this will be useful to others as well. main := GuiCreate() sc := Scintilla.New(main, "ClassScintilla w800 h400 xs Secti...

Finite-state machine
Hi, I wrote this script as an exercise while learning about finite-state machine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine ). I find it useful because it seems like a cleaner way to model certain problems. As you can see in my attempt to simulate the operations of a microwave, the state d...

Re: Capitalise nth word of string?
Thanks! I'll check that out later. For now this seems to work for me:
Code: Select all
RegExReplace(s, "^([\w\-]*[\W]*){" n-1 "}\K[\w\-]*", "$t0")

Re: Capitalise nth word of string?
Nifty! :bravo: I have trouble getting the correct results when the phrase starts with quotations so I inserted "`n" before the string and then later removed it. How can we do this more cleanly? s = ( firstword "out (of) africa;;;is a:'movie'"!.out of africa,is=an ? "africa-themed" movie )" loop 14 ...

Re: AHK v2: converting/optimizing scripts Topic is solved
I see what you are going for now. I made the adjustments but it appears that StrLen is still faster on average after running both inside an untimed loop first. Without the untimed loop, I was getting inconsistent results. Str1(byref s1){ NumPut(0, s1 .= ".",StrLen(s1)*2-4,"short"), VarSetCapacity(s1...

Re: AHK v2: converting/optimizing scripts Topic is solved
That's quite interesting... I poked around a bit and didn't see any obvious way to locate where strlen is stored based on the string address. The code may become too fragile anyway if we start messing with AHK internals. Speaking of which, maybe one day someone will compile an AHK with functions for...

Re: AHK v2 - Local Help file - Window Spy
That's pretty slick! I prefer this solution over compiling the script to exe, because it avoids the command prompt pop-up from batch files or the use of VBS, while keeping the script file easily accessible. Also just to add, sometimes even old v2 scripts are not compatible with the current v2 build.

Re: AHK v2: converting/optimizing scripts Topic is solved
I keep forgetting we are dealing with UTF-16 here. My mind keeps defaulting back to UTF-8 because that's what I'm used to seeing :crazy: AHK strings cuz AHK saves string's length somewhere and just retrieves that value on request That explains a lot. It does appear to be at least 2x faster on my tes...

Re: AHK v2: converting/optimizing scripts Topic is solved
I suppose the word "usual" does need to be qualified. If I recall correctly, Matlab, Lua, Julia and VBA behave like this, so I didn't see it as anything special in AHK. I've never seen it in C but I've seen it used in C++. In some languages you can do === to see if objects are not only identical but...

Re: AHK v2: converting/optimizing scripts Topic is solved
Might not be worthwhile, but can we push each function reference into an array and then call the function by index (o) to avoid using %o%?
Edit: Nevermind, you already tested that

I've manually reworked the post #152 custom-logic mcode to search for every white space as 1 operation ( \t , \r , \n , " " and all other codes below Chr(32) can be considered whitespace and thus denoting number token field's end). And using setxx asm instructions, I managed to get rid of 3/4 condi...

Re: which languages should I learn to learn DllCall and Windows API Functions?
Hi, for accessing AHK functionality from other programming languages, you can try using AHK_H's Autohotkey.dll. I am unfamiliar with Python so I cannot give you a working example.

Hi, I recommend SciTE if you like tinkering, because: 1) it lets you manipulate text with lua functions (http://lua-users.org/wiki/UsingLuaWithScite) -Many possibilities here, for example: SciTE already comes with the ability to shift lines up/down, but you can also easily implement shifting left/ri...
