static initialization, function auto-execution? Topic is solved

In v1, I was able to use the code below to automatically execute code inside a function without needed to call it from within the auto-execute section. The code would be executed when the script runs, without first needing to manually call it. Is this functionality removed from v2? Is there still a ...

Array v1 to v2 Topic is solved

Edit: Going to use Map(). Seems to do what I need. So, I'm finally trying to learn the v2 syntax by converting one of my v1 scripts. Below is an example of an array, the way I've formatted it in v1: MyArray := [] MyArray[1] := "MyText1" MyArray[2] := "MyText2" MyArray[3] := "MyText3" This code is g...

Re: CMD Get Text Response

(BTW thanks for the links to pngquant; works great and reduces the size of .png files by ~80%)
No problem! Been using it to reduce image sizes for my EmulationStation scraped images for my game collection.

There's a few GUI for it. I was going to try making my own GUI though.

No, this is not for Ahk V2. Could the both of you send me screenshots of all the steps you do after which you encounter this error? You could sent it via imgur in this topic.
1) Save script.
2) Run script.
3) Enter example date (24/09/2022)
4) Click OK
5) Error

If I wanted to execute immediately, I've always just called GoSub, LabelName after SetTimer. I was never aware that anyone was trying or suggesting -0 as a value.
