Re: Script's main title is missing path - any ideas why? Topic is solved

Yes, but I don't want to have to keep a manually edited list like that. Anyway, I found out the reason, now: I had this line in the script: Gui +LastFound The ONLY line dealing with the Gui, so that I could do the following: vHWnd := WinExist() I had thought that that would refer to the script's mai...

Re: Script's main title is missing path - any ideas why? Topic is solved

I found out the title of the initially elusive window by checking it earlier in the code: [user folder]\AppData\Local\Programs\AutoHotkey\UX\launcher.ahk - Autohotkey v2.0.2 So this one is the launcher. How high are the chances that the other window also has to do with it? Is there a more robust way...

Re: Script's main title is missing path - any ideas why? Topic is solved

Ok, (I found out) more info: The main goal is to reload all currently running ahk scripts. I basically do something like this (a bit more complex and both in v1 and v2) without the timer: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=95051#p422339 Now, I found out that the one script (which I am...

Re: Script's main title is missing path - any ideas why? Topic is solved

Yes, indeed. Thx for replying. However, what are you trying to say? Do you think that the phrase "script's main title" could be referring to something else? If so, to what? My issue indeed is with the title of the script's main window.

Script's main title is missing path - any ideas why? Topic is solved

Hi all, At https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/Program.htm#title the help says that at least somewhere in the script's main title there should be the value of A_ScriptFullPath by default. I now have a script that seems to have just the name of the ahk file as its title by default. No path. Strangely ...

I find it quite understandable as it is but maybe a different possibility:
The string that represents the substitutions of each match (before it is actually made).

Re: RegExReplace backreferences cannot be manipulated

What could be plainer than plain text, but a string literal? Since the "Type" definition for the Replacement parameter already says: "String", the pharse "plain text" is simply confusing. The normal reader wonders if that means something special that goes beyond "String". The brackets seem to say w...

Re: RegExReplace: Can I modify the value of a backreference? Topic is solved

UPDATE: I had a bug in the code in line 10, respectively, 11. Fixed it in both versions up above. New, correct line: vStartingPos := StrLen(pHaystack) + 1 - (-1 * vStartingPos) ; compare RegExMatch Old, wrong line: vWorkingString := StrLen(pHaystack) + 1 - (-1 * vStartingPos) ; compare RegExMatch

Re: RegExReplace: Can I modify the value of a backreference? Topic is solved

Just as a side note for the record: The function also works well for generally executing some sub-function based on each found match, e.g. for data extraction (without having to necessarily change haystack). Probably, there could be faster code, but for me this seems quite a comfortable solution so ...

Re: Is there a library for translating an html string to a css string and vice versa?

Chunjee , thank you, that is a start. However, it says on these pages: No other characters are escaped. To escape additional characters use a third-party library. Respectively: No other HTML entities are unescaped. To unescape additional HTML entities use a dedicated third-party library. Thus, do y...

Is there a library for translating an html string to a css string and vice versa?

Hi all, as you all probably are aware of, there are different rules for escaping certain characters in an html context compared to a css context. I am wondering is there a library for ahk 2 that supports conversion or translation from one kind of string to the other? If it only exists for ahk 1 then...

Re: Q: FileSelect dialog: How to auto-add the extension to a name to Save?

Thank you, Russ, for brainstorming. As far as I understand you are giving the user a helpful hand in prefilling the Edit box with the desired extension and then putting the caret in front of it. Ok, that of course is a bit better than nothing. However, I would like to be on the most safe side and al...

Q: FileSelect dialog: How to auto-add the extension to a name to Save?

Hi all, I want to use the FileSelect dialog to enter a file name under which to save a file. I also want to use Option 16: "Prompt to Overwrite File". I had hoped that if I specify a Filter parameter with one extension (e.g. "*.txt"), that that extension then is automatically added to any file name ...

Re: Way to keep the taskbar windows from blinking?

Not sure if this applies in your case but maybe have a look at:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/_WinActivateForce.htm
... it might prevent task bar buttons from flashing when different windows are activated quickly one after the other.
