Re: Loading JSON response? Topic is solved

If you don't include Coco's library correctly, you will see only one empty msgbox with the code above. So, what means "doesn't work as I've written it" and "exactly same results as before" ? How does the string look that you get from the API? With single quotation marks? Well, you might have to cha...

Re: Loading JSON response? Topic is solved

You should use double quotation marks for strings in Autohotkey, not single ones - the latter ones have no special meaning in Autohotkey, afaik. But to use literal " s in a string within an expression, use two "" quotation marks in a row as an escape sequence : Within an expression, two consecutive...

Loading JSON response? Topic is solved

Ok, forgive me if my brain is fried today & this is obvious, but I'm back... I call an API with a function & receive a dictionary as a result. I want to call one of the keys of that dictionary. Researching it, I find this awesome library: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=627 and load it...

Datatypes in AHK?

If autohotkey doesn't have explicit datatypes, then I'm having a very hard time understanding why something is failing... I've created a function calls an API & which works perfectly when I call it explicitly: createShortlink("http://localhost:82/build", {"original_url": "http://autohotkey.com", "re...

I've posted a few times and the community seems pretty convinced that a person can connect to a PostgreSQL database using the ADO SQL library . However I have not been able to get it to work.

That's great, I'm interested to know what part of ahk if any you turned into a career ? It's helped in probably more ways that I can list.

Ten years ago this forum helped turned me from a young sapling into a programmer. People used to yell RTFM a lot more in those days but I lived by that damn documentation and it made all of the difference.

I suggests that you post a link to the QR reader you are using or explain how it work from the perspective of your ahk script.
