Script reload not showing changes?
Posted: 31 May 2020, 20:43
Hi all,
Slowly converting myself to AHK Studio, and I've got a script that creates hotstrings on the fly. When I add a new one, it reloads everything, but I can't see the new hotstring added to the bottom of the ahk file unless I close and reopen AHK Studio. Is it possible to "refresh" a script and its Includes? This works whilst using SciTE, so just checking if it also works in Studio.
(Note: I have stripped most of the code out of the string creator code, just giving the outline of how it works.
Main script:
AutoType string creator:

;once you know what the hotstring is, add in the capital letter as well.

;UpperCheck:= SubStr(UpperCheck Chr(Asc(UpperCheck) - 32),1,1) ;convert lower to upper
;Use RegExMatch to work out if the letter is upper or lower case:

MsgBox, 4,, The hotstring just added appears to be improperly formatted. Would you like to open the script for editing? Note that the bad hotstring is at the bottom of the script.
