Re: Getting the ID of a window created from running a .bat file? Topic is solved
Nevermind, I see in the documentation for v2 there is &OutputVarPID in the run command.

Getting the ID of a window created from running a .bat file? Topic is solved
I'm trying to figure out how to get the unique ID of the window that is made when AHK uses the run command pointing to a batch file. I'm anticipating circumstances in which other command windows may also be running and possibly active at the time, so just getting the active window or ahk_exe cmd.exe...

Re: INIRead Error Topic is solved

Re: Migrating custom compiler to v2 Topic is solved
Your variable is used, but Windows needs to know where the file name starts and ends. This can be addressed by adding quotation marks around the path. The documentation provides additional tips about quoting the parameter for Run. Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't seem to include an example ...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Turns out my script does have some issues though, which I'm sorting out.

I just need to know how to force "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe" to use the v2 base file and add that command into this script.

What is the command line to force the ahk compiler to use a specific base file? I'm migrating to v2 and I get errors that I'm only running v1. Here is my custom compiler code reworked for v2 language as far as I know (I assume nothing is wrong with the code, I'm just lacking a way to force the compi...

Re: Reformatting my script from v1 to v2
@chinagreenelvis, depending on what the rest of your code does, it might be easier to use indeed. One downside is that it's more difficult to change the number of columns, as both monitor AND column info are tied together. Whether that matters to you depends on your code. I opted to change Maps to ...

Re: Dynamic Variable Creation
Depending on your intended use case, lots of nesting is not always the best answer. Having to create intermediate maps or arrays for every level of nesting can really complicate your code. Instead, you can merge multiple data into a single string the same way you would have generated a variable nam...

Re: Dynamic Variable Creation
In actuality you'd write some Loops to read monitor/column info and push them in the array. Starting on a simpler part first - what am I doing wrong here? I'm told MonRight is an invalid index for the MsgBox. Mon := [] Mon.Push([]) NumMonitors := SysGet(80) Loop NumMonitors { ActualN := MonitorGet(...

Re: Dynamic Variable Creation
@chinagreenelvis, you can nest objects as much as you want: var := [[Map("Key", "someVariable")]] MsgBox var[1][1]["Key"] Perhaps you could show a certain scenario which you want to convert to v2? There might be even better alternatives available. Thanks, this might be what I'm looking for. Basical...
