Script will only run the first two run items and nothing else

29 Dec 2017, 06:21

I am having an issue where a script will only run the first two run items and nothing else.
For example for a script to reload scripts.

#F9::
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\phrases.ahk"
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\macro.ahk"
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\autocorrect.ahk"
run http://www.google.com/
return

Only the first two items will run.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

Try if each and every one of them will run separately. How much of AHK's tray icons are displayed once you trigger the hotkey?

Try adding some Sleep lines.

Code: Select all

#F9::
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\phrases.ahk"
Sleep, 200
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\macro.ahk"
Sleep, 200
run, "C:\Drive\AHK\autocorrect.ahk"
Sleep, 200
run http://www.google.com/
return
I use Run to open tabs in Internet Explorer, I'm currently using a Sleep of 400 ms, if I don't, some tabs seem to not get opened, or, seem to open in the wrong order. Cheers.

I was an idiot, the script was rerunning itself, which canceled subsequent actions.
Moving run, "C:\Drive\AHK\macro.ahk" to the end of the task list solves the problem.

Reload will accomplish the same.
