Thanks very much, this pretty much is what I need to get to the next stage

Awesome script, thanks

Hi all, I'm trying to find if there exists a resident script that monitors windows explorer events for a file that is added to a particular folder and its sub-folders. My ultimate intention is to automate the process of OCR of the PDF files that get added in a particular folder. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks Bobo,
The A_ScriptDir in this context returns the path of the ahk script and not the folder I am in. I am trying to find a way to extract the current folder path based on "mouse right click' event.

thanks for your prompt response A_AhkUser
The purpose of using RegExReplace is to ensure that & in a mid word situation is not removed. Such as "Ahk & auto hot key"

I've put together a Hotstring file to assist me with typing. in some instances such as below example, the returned string contains the ampersand: ::ad#:: Menu, MyMenu, Add, &additional, MenuAction Menu, MyMenu, Add, a&ddress, MenuAction Menu, MyMenu, Show return MenuAction: SendInput %A_ThisMenuItem...

hi all, I am trying to write a script that does this: 1- I navigate to a folder 2- I right click in that folder and click "rename all" 3- script reads the folder name and grabs the folder name only (eg C:\user\name\currfolder in this case 'currfolder') 4- rename all files within this folder as below...

Thanks for this script, motivated me a lot to expand my HS list. I can see on the Sample Dialog a reference to "create hotstring" by pressing Win+h on a selected text. It doesn't seem to do anything on mine, any other script I need to download to active that. It would be really helpful if such a fun...

I found a way to get around this issue.
I had to change PDF library.

command := "C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF Password Remover v3.1\pdfdecrypt.exe -i ""%1"""

Now my script works perfectly.

Thanks SifJar
I tried using your solution.
the command works properly however the naming appears as: %~n1_decrypted.%~x1
I tried to remove quotes but the results are the same

I actually found a better solution as below: I can't however figure out how to get my file name. QPDF requires an output file name which I would like to copy and concatenate with some string. Any help finding what is stored in %1% is appreciated. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibilit...

Here's my code so far: #NoEnv #SingleInstance, Force Program := "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PDF Password Remover\PDF Password Remover.lnk" Gui, Add, Text, w300, drop files below for: PDF Password Remover Gui, Add, Edit, wp r5 vDropFiles ReadOnly ; hotkey = Ctrl+F12 ^F12:: G...

Thanks Micromegas, I'd come across FileSelectFile however using that partly defeats the purpose of my script. I have a rather complex folder hierarchy model which requires a lot of clicking to get where I want, therefore it'd paramount that I can drag and drop the file which is already selected in a...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to AHK but I am mesmerised by the immense power it has given me. I do a lot of work on PDFs from renaming them to removing their security features via third party software. I wish to develop an AHK script that does this: 1- opens a generic window via a shortcut key 2- I drag a...
