Re: How to execute commands

Apparently the recoder uses it's own functions, since OriginWin doesn't exist in in-built library and Click works differently. Without the library with these functions - they won't work.
Other than that - look up hotkeys.

Re: How do YOU start most of your AHK scripts?

I don't entirely understand your question, but you can create separate files and include them into a main one. If you need hotkeys working under certain condition, such as for certain program currently active, you can use #if WinActive() or so. I always start scripts with a hotkey to reload it, so I...

↑ This. At the moment you calculate it, it's 0 + 20, because Px is unknown at the time.
Alternatively make a function.

Re: Compile with password error

AHK uses UTF-8 with BOM, which is appended at the beginning of the file. Perhaps it's it, although as I recall BOM is represented differently, unless the password thing does that. How do you compile with password anyway? There wasn't such option last I checked, but can't recheck that at this moment.

ExitApp closes AHK. The thing is - how to determine Excel has closed? I would suggest SetTimer every minute or something to see if WinExist, and if it doesn't - see first sentence.

Re: Passing a number through as a literal string Topic is solved

I wanted to say plenty, but actually there just few things, since most of the code is somewhat repeated and can be shortened....

f it's checking to see if the file exists then shouldn't it be if (FileExist(path file_name) == "") ? See FileExist - quote from the docs: This function returns the attribute string of the first matching file or folder ... If the file has no attributes (rare), "X" is returned.

The MsgBox line was only for presentation of how this function works. You don't need it in your actual script. If you look at it - it checks if file or folder iBetYouDontHaveSuchFileOrFolder exists in C:\Windows , if it doesn't - tries next file in array, which is notepad.exe . This file actually ex...

Re: Need help with reading INI file into array variables.

Does it have to be ini? JSON or YAML are arrays/objects by default, so there's no extra struggle. Additionally, plenty other languages support JSON, allowing you to transfer data between programs.

Re: Send data to Python script (Messaging Queue) Topic is solved

If you run python script from AHK, perhaps you can pass the numbers as parameters/arguments. If you don't - maybe make both scripts wait for a JSON, and if they were saved to file - delete after reading.
Might be not the best solution, but surely an easy one.

Re: Passing a number through as a literal string Topic is solved

One thing that I am sure of is that the script stores a value of either '1' or '0' for the file variable every time. This is likely because you made logical expression in the assign line - more precisely the OR s. If either of the strings are considered "true" (for what ever reason), it returns 1 (...

Re: I don't know the difference between `r and `n

\n and \r are different characters in ASCII, used for representing new line in text. Linux's and general standard is just n (line feed) character for new line, but some/most Microsoft Windows' programs (at least these old ones) use \r\n instead (where r - carriage return). They are presented this w...
