NOT, AND, OR v. !, &&, || I find '!' more readable (and more elegant) than 'NOT'. '!' and '&&' are shorter than 'NOT' and 'AND', and don't ever require spaces. This can make complicated formulae/expressions far more readable. The symbol versions... Goodness, there are clearly untapped (by me!) dept...

I'm loving this thread - learning so much from you all. Style is great and, although I am a live and let live kinda guy, I do feel strongly that consistency and maintainability are over-ridingly important (as others have pointed out). Anyway, that said, I do have a specific question: Why do most her...

Hi, I've mainly used AHK to write small productivity apps. I have little programming experience, but due to AHK's excellent documentation and the willingness of forum members to contribut so much over the years, I've managed to muddle through. But I now find I'm looking at larger scripts, maybe seve...

Hi Maestrith, wondering if you could help with the AHK Studio debugging issue I report above (21-Jun-19)? It's probably me doing it wrong so if you could help clarify that would be tremendous. To get round this at the moment I'm debugging in Scit4AHK, and running AHK Studio in parallel for code chan...

Re: "AHK Studio Tutorials 35. Adding a Breakpoint" by Joe Glines: Just to add these observations: 1. As well as manually typing in breakpoints (of the form ;*[breakpointname] ), you can also set a breakpoint by clicking the margin between the line numbering and the editing window (like Scit4ahk). 2....

Ok Joe, thanks for the input. Understand totally about not having the time....I'll post in this topic as and when I have observations on AHKStudio that (hopefully!) add to your excellent videos.

DaveT1

Joe Glines no probs....in this topic I wasn't thinking that this would be a learning experience for AHK Scripting (though I am always in need of this ;) ;) ), but rather a topic for sharing experience and understanding of how to use AHK Studio. I'm a big fan of AHK Studio but struggle sometimes to ...

DaveT1

Thanks nnnik . I've found maestrith to be enormously helpful on the other topic you pointed out, but with more detailed issues. This topic seems aimed at getting more of an overview of what AHK Studio can do (a huge amount!) and how to achieve it, so it would be something that would benefit from the...

Hi Joe, this is a great topic - thanks so much for the effort. I'm trying hard to get to grips with AHKS - there are bits of it that are fantastic and areas where I'm finding it harder going (probably my ineptness). I've had a quick look through some of the tutorials and learnt some really useful th...

Hi Maestrith, Sorry for the looong delay in replying on this. I understand being diverted, and that AHK Studio is a 'side-project' (though a damn impressive one). I'm working on learning the debugger. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to offer your thoughts on my take on how to do this with AHKS: 1. Debu...

Hi Maestrith, Sorry, another Q: When I try to download the bookmarks plugin I get an error msg: Error: Failed attempt to launch program or document: Action: <C:\Program Files\AHK-Studio-master\p|ugins\BookMarks.ahk> Params: <"mb"> Specifically: The system cannot find the file specified. The rest of ...

Hi Maestrith, I'm back to using AHKS on a small project. I've noticed that when I have several find results in the separate find window, that sometimes using the Jump button takes you to the end of the file, not withstanding that the search string is not at that location. I can't seem to find a rhym...

Thanks swafag and vasili111,

Your thoughts much appreciated. I guess that I had hoped that there was something a little more structured to help save me from myself

.

I'd be very happy if others had thoughts to help push me along.

Cheers.

Forgive me if this is an utter amateur-nonsense question (and do move if I've not posted in the right forum), but....are there tools that can be used to 'profile' an autohotkey script? By 'profiling' I mean work out how much time is spent in various parts of the code, and maybe also give a flow diag...

DaveT1

Thanks derz00 and jeeswg for your helpful comments and pointers to other info. Of course being a bad programmer I do reach out to the community and they are always extremely helpful (thank you), but I guess that this might reduce if I was asking v2 Qs just 'cos the number of people using it are fewe...

DaveT1

Hi, I'm about to get a little more time to spend doing enjoyable things...like tinkering with AHK scripts :D. But as only an occasional dabbler I've only just tripped across the whole v2 concept and thread. V2 seems a very laudable effort to me, and I think would help me, as a very poor programmer, ...

Hi Maestrith, Sorry, but I hope you don't mind some further questions on Bookmarks and Breakpoints. Firstly I love the way that these are displayed in the Code explorer window! But I wonder if you / others would find the following suggestions useful: 1) To display next to each Breakpoint or Bookmark...

DaveT1

Wow Maestrith, many thanks for this: 1.005.10 ... Fixed: Reported by DaveT1 - Breakpoints for Debugging were not working ... I can now run to a breakpoint just fine :D. But in case it's important I've noticed that when the debugger is launched the Debug Window shows the line numbers of the breakpoin...

DaveT1

Hi Maestrith, Just came back to looking at AHK Studio (and have the latest versions of AHK-S and AHK). I must be stupid, but I can't find how to run the debugger to a breakpoint? I can start the debugger, gain the debug controls by launching the Variable Browser and then I can step through the code ...

DaveT1

Hi Maestrith, I've managed only a little time to test AHK Studio. I'm continuing to explore, but I do have a quick (and possibly trivial) question: I like the Whitesmiths style of braces, eg: iF (ErrorLevel = 0) { Click, %FoundPosX%, %FoundPosY% Send, {End} } else { MsgBox, Can't find the Rename ite...
