Okay the workaround for map is working thanks. It's too bad I can't use the regular object notation though { k : v }, I'm going to have to rewrite a bunch of code.

If there's no fix, can this be moved to AHK v2 bugs. This is serious. I can't use v2 until this is fixed. It's frustrating to run into an error like this after spending 20hrs learning the new system and rewriting key functions in the new syntax, only to find I can't use any of this for my primary us...

In my http request to access an important API, I need to send in a JSON object with header: { x-api-key : "myapikey"} I've always built the object in AHK first and then parsed it into JSON with a function. New AHKv2 decided that 'x-api-key' is an 'Invalid property name in object literal'. Come on......

I know that 'ternary' has the root word of 3, but the purpose of it is shorthand and to save time, and forcing the third part of the expression defeats the core purpose of it. I also noticed numeric variables occasionally don't work. Variable named something like '3m' won't work now, although 'm3' w...

Apparently I can't do Ternary operators with only a positive result anymore... that's super annoying. Please tell me I'm missing some new syntax?

Here's the original code updated for v2. Is it pretty? no. I'm not nearly as good a programmer as the original poster. If someone writes a better version, feel free to post it. For some reason, ternary operators in ahkv2 now seem to require the second half of the expression. Super annoying, makes th...

Okay, so this still works in v2. I thought they removed the '%' in v2. Is there a help doc I can read about how the % works in v2? I can't find it when I put '%' into the helpdoc search.

I would like to access the code of a webpage from my script and copy all the data to my program without loading the page in a browser. The webpage I would like to do this for is running the body of it's content in javascript. So I can't just parse html / xml (https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/4...

Hi there, I've modified the GetWebPage function to handle JSON well. Posting here for anyone to use. JsonData := {"contact": {"email": "johndoe@example.com","firstName": "John","lastName": "Doe","phone": "7223224241","fieldValues":[{"field":"1","value":"The Value for First Field"},{"field":"6","valu...

Wow - this is embarrassing haha. My downloads folder was filled with csv files but they all had the notepad icon and I assumed they were txt files. Everyone's code works other than my original code.

That last bit of code you posted was useful because I saw all the filenames.

Thank you

I tried everyone's suggestions above, thanks. They don't work for some reason. I think the issue is that I'm using a virtual machine. I'm not sure how to loop through files using remote desktop. I'm trying to loop through the files on the remote desktop from the remote desktop. But it seems AHK can'...

try

Code: Select all

d := "C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Downloads\*.txt"

This also did the same thing as my original code. Thank you for your idea though!

d := "C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Downloads" Loop, Files, % d msgbox % A_loopfilename For some weird reason, this program doesn't work. I've been staring at it for a while and comparing it to the help docs and I really think it should work. My downloads folder is filled with .txt files. When debugged, ...

I've got a complex long script that needs GUI. I am trying to migrate it from a physical computer to Google Cloud Compute. I am able to get the script running ok, but as soon as I minimize the Google Cloud Computer VM the script does not continue to manipulate the interface. It does continue to run,...

You can try #WinActivateForce , plus WinActivate. I do not know whether it will help in activating your window. Outside AHK, I find various situations where windows are not activated when expected. I believe that there is also a registry entry for "steal focus" or something like that, but I never f...

I'm not sure if this helps, but the following worked for me. Thanks for your code, it doesn't quite work for this situation. I attached a screenshot showing what's going on. As you can see the flashing menu bar is messing it up somehow. image.png OpenEdge("https://www.autohotkey.com/") SendCtrl("w"...

Of course, this script generates an error message due to the missing function.

my apologies, I added it in - all these little functions I made to save time are hard when asking for help >>

Hi there, I'm trying to activate a new Microsoft Edge window which I just opened, but sometimes the Windows 10 menubar is flashing the program and that somehow stops my WinActivate from working. This program occurs consistently for me when I open a MS Edge window, close it with Ctrl W, and then open...

Thanks, I did have to run as admin. Here's what I ended up with if anyone in the future is curious. (warning: it will make you unable to use your keyboard for 5 mins if you run as admin) Loop { a := 55 * 60000 Sleep, %a% Loop, 9 { SoundSet, 100 SoundBeep, 432, 600 Sleep, 600 } Sleep 300 BlockInput, ...

My goal is to write a function which turns off the screen and disables inputs for a variable period of time. I'll put this on a loop to occur for 5 mins every hour, to force me to take a break from the computer lol. :problem: The code doesn't actually disable the inputs though. Some of this code I r...
