How to pass (write) a string into a script file? I think this is a very common situation, but as a newbie I don't see where a concise, systematic, ready-to-use summary of a best solution for this problem could be find. Let us say, we need an Include.ahk file which will be used by a main script ( #I...

@Masonjar13: I understand in the meantime that RawRead must be used (although Read can work sometimes...'undefined behavior'), and I understand that writing the string to the Include.ahk with Value := "string" can't work (every linefeed would end the string). My next attempt was the continuation-sec...

@Masonjar13: Hm, it must be something incorrect in my terminology...I am a newbie... For me the question is absolutly clear: I have a small script, like above PrepareIncludeAhk.ahk, which I execute just before I compile the Main.ahk. The small script reads the content of a MyApp.exe and includes it ...

@Masonjar13: OK, maybe my terminology is incorrect. In the following example a content of an exe file is retrieved as a string in ahk, isn't it? It is done by Read, not RawRead, and it is working in the following sense: Subsequently (maybe much later, and whenever desired) this string can be used to...

@Masonjar13: Thank you very much for your hints! I understand the FileInstall approach, and I probably will use it if there is no better solution. I would speculate that also #Include could be a way... This works perfectly: ; Save this script as PrepareIncludeAhk.ahk and run it. ; After this compile...

@Masonjar13:
The file which content I need is available only at the time of compilation, and the compiled script should be the only file which includes all necessary things.

My script should be compiled. At the time of compilation a value should be included into the script (content of a binary file, which exist only at this time, retrieved by file.open(..., "r")) to be permanently available in the compiled script.

Can this be done?

Thank you very much, Helgef!

I have a small non-active semitransparent '+E0x20' gui on top of another gui. I can click through the small gui by mouse clicks (without activating it!), but the same should work with ControlClick. In the example below this doesn't work: ControlClick activates the small gui (I dont want this), but t...

@GEV: I am using CoordMode, Mouse, Screen! The problem seems to be that all Windows' windows (I am using Win10) seems to have an invisible (slightly shaddowed) outer border, i.e. the real window is larger than the visible. The X difference in my case is Diff = 11. So the visual left upper corner of ...

What am I doing wrong? WinGetPos retrieves the coordinates of a window on the screen, e.g. WinX, WinY Gui,-Caption Gui, Show, x%WinX% y%WinY% w3 h3 Why this is not a small square exctly on the left upper corner of the window, but somewhere left of it? I have the same problem then with MouseClick pos...

@Guest: Thank you!
There would be other variables needed as global, not only the array.

@Helgef: Thank you!
A very nice workaround, I will use it.
(A direct way is not possible at all, is this correct?)

Is this really not possible, although Ext is a parameter of the function?

How to declare as global variables in this special case?

OK, I understand now! Thank you very much, Ronins and guest3456! MakeGlobalStrings() Valy := Object() ; !!! Valx := Val[1] ; OK msgbox %Valx% ;msgbox %Val[2]% ; xxx msgbox % Val[2] ; OK loop, 3 ;Valy[%A_Index%] := Val[A_Index] ; xxx Valy[A_Index] := Val[A_Index] ; ;msgbox %Valy[3]% ; xxx msgbox % Va...

Wonderfull, thank you very much, Ronins. I will use this methods in the future.

But I still would like to understand the issues described in my first posting...

The variables inside my function only partly should be global. Are variables produced with A_Index not global automatically? If not, how to make them global? Or do I use a wrong syntax when derefencing outside the function? Thak you very much in advance! Make4GlobalStrings() MsgBox %Check% ; OK Valx...

@Masonjar13: Thank you very much. Ok, I improve my terminology: I would like that a script reads two variables from a file. The first is the hotkey itself, the second is a string containing ahk commands to be executed when the hotkey is applied...let us call it the commands string. This is not neces...
