You indicated that the script usually works. Are you running other scripts or programs that also manage or interact with the clipboard at the same time? That is my only thought. Others here may have more insight into this. Incidentally, := does not need to force an expression via % because it is alw...

The pipe is not an AHK parameter; it is part of your command line. The PID is an AHK parameter. Thus, use the syntax that AHK provides, as follows. ExitCode := RunWait(Target [ , WorkingDir, Options, &OutputVarPID ] ) The target is your entire command line. Some programs will not return a PID or wil...

Yes. The page that you cited notes the following possible target types: ToolTip, Pixel, Mouse, Caret, and Menu. Take your pick.

Hello, "Doesn't work" says nothing about what your script does, and nothing about what your script should do. I did not test it, but a few tips are below. One script has two RunWait commands. The other does not use RunWait and does not have two such calls, but only one, so there are at least two dif...

Hello,

This may or may not work, depending on your situation.

I do not know whether that is the problem, but it could be related-- worth exploring in any case. Good luck!

I did not test the script, but I noticed a couple of lines where you referred to A_IsCompiled. I guess you had some reason to check that variable. You might want to examine that more closely.

"Does not work" does not say anything about what your script does when you run it. I did not test your script, but I can think of two main issues that could stop a (working) script from working only after it is compiled. The first is antivirus software that blocks the compiled program. The second is...

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

I can think of two main options. The first is to check for a

scan code. The second would be to see if that button itself sends a known key or key sequence. If so, you could create a hotkey for that key in your script. KeyHistory

Hello, #If directives apply to all hotkeys and hotstrings below them, until the next such directive. Below are some strategies that I would use if this were my script. Remove #If... directives during testing. Shorten the script to the essential parts that you want to test. If it works, add new secti...

General reasons may include the following. Wrong path was specified. Script cannot access the directory due to wrong privileges. Directory does not exist. Directory is in use. Directory is not empty. Mode "DR" does not include any files. You can verify this very quickly if you examine what happens i...

You can now shorten a single test script to three lines, and test only that script, while no other scripts run. If the script fails, you have three lines to debug, and you can also post your revised script to get feedback about it. In your new post, include a description of what you do, what the scr...

Worked here as well.

Hello, You have posted a v1 script in the v2 forum. Hotkeys defined by :: are not subject to control flow or subroutines in that manner. The Hotkey command can be used to create, modify, enable, or disable a hotkey while the script is running. An alternative is using a directive to define a context ...

The script that I posted lets you assign the GUID to a scheme (name) specific to the AHK script. These names are independent of the Windows plan name and can include spaces if you like. XMCQCX has shown an alternative that retrieves the Windows plan information.

Also: the newest v1 version is 1.1.37.02.

I can do even better than that: just search the forum to find the code that is already written for you.
