Run random script from a folder Topic is solved

[Unohdettu]

Currently i'm trying to do so that every time i run my script it opens a random one between 3 files (or even more).

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
dir := A_ScriptDir "\t"
fn  := ["1.txt", "2.txt", "3.txt"]
Random rnd, 1, fn.Length()
Run % dir "\" fn[rnd]

dir := A_ScriptDir "\t"
fn  := ["1.txt", "2.txt", "3.txt"]
Random rnd, 1, fn.Length()
Run % dir "\" fn[rnd]

i don't quite understand the last part. what's supposed to be instead of "\"?

Nothing is supposed to be instead of it. It’s meant to be exactly as shown. That’s the backslash between the directory and the file name.

it doesn't seem to work, it says couldn't find the file

The fn array isn't meant to contain full paths. It's meant to be file names that are in a sub-directory of the script's directory named "t". So you would put your three test files in a folder named "t" in the folder that your script is in.

thank you very much, now it works like a charm :O

If your fn is meant to include the full path, then you will not need the dir at all. You would also need to specify the files themselves unless you want to use Loop Files to retrieve them. The bottom line is that you need to examine your script to understand what it is doing.
