Hello AutoHotKey Experts,
I'm a newbie to autohotkey and will really appreciate any help to accomplish this requirement. Here it goes, I'm looking for a AutoHotKey script the will copy a highlighted email attachment link into Windows Run Diag (Windows Key+R) and open the email. I so far have parts of what I want working, but can't seem to get it all into one script to give the desired result. This is my requirement and what I have so far to better understand my end goal:
Requirement:
1) Highlighted email attachment link from a browser
2) CTRL + C -- to copy the email attachment link from a browser
3) Windows Key + R -- to open the Windows Run Diag
4) CTRL + V -- Paste the email attachment link into the Windows Run Diag
5) Enter -- to open the email
AutoHotKey Script:
$F10::
Send, ^c -- This command alone copy the email attachment link
ClipWait
FileDlg := ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").FileRun, FileDlg := "" -- this command alone also open the Windows Run Diag
Send, ^c {ENTER}
return
I will really appreciate any help I can get here... Thank you!

Re: AutoHotKey script HELP please!!! Topic is solved
I can see one obvious problem (probably just a typo!), and there is something else which should make your script more reliable...
Code: Select all
$F10::
Send, ^c
ClipWait
; Your variable 'FileDlg' doesn't do anything here; the existence of the FileRun dialogue as the
; active window is sufficient to be able to 'Send' to it.
ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").FileRun
; This makes the script wait until the "Run" dialogue is definitely the active window,
; otherwise you might paste the data back where it came from. It allows the dialogue
; one second in which to open.
WinWaitActive, Run,, 1
; This shows an error message and closes the script if the 'Run' dialogue didn't open,
; which should never happen, but it's good practice to handle this kind of thing.
; 'ErrorLevel' is an internal variable which many commands will set if they fail.
if (ErrorLevel) {
MsgBox The Run dialogue could not be opened
ExitApp
}
; Your posted code says ^c, which I guess is not what you meant!
Send, ^v{Enter}
return
