For future reference, in case any other AHKers are curious or walk down this path... For Popclient to work (can get here- https://web.archive.org/web/20140709163500/http://www.codeode.com/popclient/popclient.zip ), you will likely need Stunnel ( https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html ).

okay. I tried the popclient.exe. I can't get any connection to my mail servers, therefore it was not possible for me to examine the encodings of the retreaved textfiles. A manual download of an email as .eml text gives me normal UTF-8. Sorry Happen to have come across this. For Popclient to work (c...

If parameters could have arbitrary expressions as their default value, I think it would be more useful if the expression was evaluated in function scope rather than call site... For the particular case of A_LineNumber, you can use the Exception() function... Cheers. That's another good one to know,...

It depends on what You need. I'm not saying that in absolute terms, one is better than the other in every way. All programming languages and communities develop and evolve differently, so have various advantages and disadvantages. WinBatch and AutoIt are automation languages that have existed for l...

I created a script using ImageSearch to click on a button on a web page in Chrome. Works great on my Windows 7 computer I used for testing. Moved it to my Windows 10 laptop that I want to use it on and it doesn't appear to click the image. Same version of AHK. Windows 7 vs 10... Any suggestions wha...

Thank you for writing such a detailed response SOTE! It sounds like overall AHK is simpler to use and more user-friendly...
...So overall, I think I'll start learning AutoHotkey and see where it takes me. Thanks again!

You are welcome. And, welcome aboard to the AHK community.

In addition, this particular Excel macro exploit is not something new. It has been around for more than a year, if not longer. As has been mentioned, many other programming languages could of and have been used. Excel macro exploits and related malware that takes advantage of it have been around for...

This is a bit of a touchy subject, even though this is considered the more open and friendly forum. Partially because such a topic seems to attract or activate infrequently used accounts that will then go in on AutoHotkey pretty hard. Nevertheless, people have a right to their beliefs and to compare...

costomer can deactivate license by login into website in his dashboard The linked SW copy protection thread was not referring to a web based license protection scheme, with such deactivation abilities. How the two are connected is not clearly shown. the idea with using licensing system is pretty st...

Afaik, autohotkey.net is an old domain which is not in the possession of the AHK Foundation. Back in the day of the old forums (pre-AHK foundation), it was used as a repository, until it was hacked badly and a lot of data and code vanished. So I guess we should remove that link... or replace it, if...

Is your question AutoHotkey v2 specific? Maybe you want to ask in the v2 Help Subforum- https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=82 In AutoHotkey v1, you could make your own function to check for case sensitivity. Would adjust function if wanting to know about entire variable value, as to s...

Not sure if the issue is me or your website, but it appears clicking on the document link from https://www.autohotkey.com/docs_1.0/, generates random SPAM links to various websites. Selection- AutoHotkey_L Documentation: This is the documentation specific to the AutoHotkey_L version. This link goes ...

but how can it be used to find face, is the thing I don't get. Any tip would be strongly appreciated, Looking at this response, it appears you might be confused about several things. Just in case... If for example you were using ImageSearch to attempt to find the face... 1) You would use an AHK scr...

That's an interesting idea, but it does not solve my problem. Because of course A_linenumber, when passed as string, will only be evaluated in the body of the function and will not contain the linenumber of the line where the function is called True, A_linenumber in particular is a tough one. You c...

Can AHK use third-party modules like Python? How to use it? Where can I find these modules? You might be referring to libraries, of which AutoHotkey has plenty. A large centralized location of them is managed by Ixiko (also known as Frosti on the AHK forum) https://github.com/Ixiko/AHK-libs-and-cla...

I'm a bit suspicious that part of the the false-positive issue is various bad actors. For instance, I've used WinBatch which is a similar closed source automation scripting language and it gets zero hits on VirusTotal, AutoIt gets only 1 hit and is closed source , yet AutoHotkey gets multiple hits a...

An addendum to the "Plastic Recycling is an Actual Scam" video. It's like it was decided to give Big Oil a free pass to help push humanity over the cliff and commit suicide. I guess the money helps to sleep well at night despite the destruction of the planet and mankind. At the point that unborn ba...

its to bad autohotkey its self didnt have a built in feature to password protect the finial compiled scripts code. Arguably, Lexikos's decision to not include any type of encryption was a good one. AutoHotkey has to deal with plenty of false-positives and stigmas as it is. The primary point of comp...

but im a little concerned with not knowing whats in the machice code portition. and also im not exactly sure how to decode the script. /******** The C source code ******** It would probably better to post a question on FeiYue's thread, if the question is specific to his Encryptor and there is a lot...

Another interesting program that is a kind of hybrid is PoptrayU. It's newer, open-source, and a derivative of an earlier program called Poptray. It's not a full e-mail client, but a light e-mail notifier for multiple web email servers that has command line options, and it can download specific e-ma...
