Added FilesMenuLoad.ahk for inserting Windows File Explorer structures into a pop-up menu. This barebones script loads the file structure into an AutoHotkey menu (including all subdirectories as submenus). Set TopMenu to the starting folder. Any file selected from the menu runs with its default prog...

DateCalc.ahk function for calculating the calendar date when adding (or subtracking) years, months, and/or days. StartDate := "20200913" Years := 2 Months := 8 Days := 21 NewDate := DateCalc(StartDate,Years,Months,Days) FormatTime, Start , %StartDate%, LongDate FormatTime, New , %NewDate%, LongDate...

neogna2 says "Caused by a limit to show at most 20 ToolTips at once" Yes, I note the 20 ToolTip limitation in my blog " Track Graphic Line Measurement Segments Using AutoHotkey Arrays ." If you need more line segments than that you may need to remove (or disable after 20) the ToolTip feature. Anoth...

Added a modified version of the HowLongYearsMonthsDays.ahk script for instant timespan calculation: HowLongInstant.ahk . It works by selecting a section of text which includes the start and stop date as the first and last date in the selection. https://jacksautohotkeyblog.files.wordpress.com/2021/03...

The Chrome.ahk tools allow you to use a backdoor in the Chrome browser to automate Web pages, but it's not necessarily easy. I watched a couple of the videos for the Chrome.ahk tools and had a little trouble grasping what was going on. (I think the videos assumed a little higher level of knowledge t...

I think you'll find other such scripts but this one, AutoStartupControl.ahk , offers a barebones menu System Tray right-click menu listing shortcuts located in the Windows Startup folder. https://jacksautohotkeyblog.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/autostartupnotessubmenu.png I discuss the steps involved...

I changed the MultiPaste.ahk script by adding single-digit Hotkeys only active when the MsgBox opens. Each key inserts the individual text parsed from a selected section. https://jacksautohotkeyblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/multipastehotkeys.png Hotkeys deactivate upon closing the window. Discuss...

I've added a multi-leg capability to MouseMeasureMultiLine.ahk for capturing distances around the corner. Plus, insert calcualted leg distances in any document or edit field using temporary Hotkeys. https://jacksautohotkeyblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/mousemeasuremapmultiline.png For more informa...

I've updated the MouseMeasure.ahk script to use GDIPlus Graphics. The graphics are much smoother. I discuss the GDIPlus functions ( Hellbent 's version ) in " How to Draw Lines with AutoHotkey Using Windows GDIPlus Graphics " https://jacksautohotkeyblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/mousemeasuremaplin...

I've added a new sample script for measuring distances on your computer screen: MouseMeasure.ahk . The MouseMeasure.ahk script uses the mouse to calculate a calibrated distance between two points on the computer monitor. To Calibrate Range: Locate mouse cursor at start point — CTRL+LButton and hold....

I suspect that learning how to use Arrays is the secret to your solution. You can then save an unlimited number of data points, make the needed calculations, and use ControlSend (or one of the similar commands) to insert the calculated text statements directly into a document. That will allow you th...

Hi Jack, This worked beautifully. I tried to modify the code so that I could get two positions and hopefully get the clipboard to output at the end. This measures 45 x 23 cm. Or this measures 44 x 33 x 22 cm. How would I go about adding more dimensions to make a final sentense. Two would be great b...

I was intrigued by the problem so I decided to use colt's code to add calibration: ; core code provided by colt: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=78930&hilit=ruler Pixels := 96 NumUnits := 1 Units := Inches Gui, +ToolWindow Gui, Add, Text, , Use Control+LeftMouseClick, Hold, an...

Ryan's RegEx Tester sits near the top of my list of favorite AutoHotkey scripts. That's why I added it to this list of AutoHotkey scripts.

toralf has posted an updated version of RegEx Tester in this forum. I've added the link to the ComputorEdge AutoHotkey Scripts page.

I've added a new script ( WebLinkFindURL.ahk ) which combines a number of techniques to extract external text links from a Web page and insert them with a GUI Link control inside GUI Tab controls. The script uses the GetActiveBrowserURL() function by Antonio Bueno to capture the URL of the current (...

Initially, I thought that I would post this in the Scripts and Functions forum, but decided that this window tagging script acts more as a technique than a standalone script. While I offer a couple of uses for setting up target windows (collecting reference text and quick testing AutoHotkey code), o...

I've expanded the examples for the RegExHotstringsApp.ahk script to include examples for word swapping, auto-dup word delete, repeat word/phrase and word cap RegEx Hotstrings. Each of these examples makes good use of the Regular Expressions (RegEx) capability of the RegExHotstrings() function. https...

I've added the classic Eval() function (Pulover's version) to this list of AutoHotkey Scripts and Useful Utilities . The Eval() function evaluates one or more AutoHotkey string expressions on-the-fly. Rather than returning a result by writing complex parsing and pasting routines, simply enter the ex...

I've added a RegExHotstringApp.ahk script which includes both the RegExHotstrings() function as well as examples of how to use it. It uses a function originally called Hotstrings() (started by polyethene , Feb 4, 2007, and found on the old archived AutoHotkey forum—not to be confused with recently-n...

In response to one of my blog readers, I wrote a short script creating sentence-capitalizing Hotstrings. The AutoSentenceCap.ahk script : Switches any lowercase letter occurring after a period, question mark, or exclamation point with an intervening space into uppercase. Capitalizes the first letter...
