A syntax error Topic is solved

A syntax error
#include <libName>is used inconsistently in the documentation. The lib folder is not recognized

Please be specific about the issue you encountered and where you think the documentation is inconsistent. Are you using v1 or v2? Are you sure your file is in a valid library folder? Show specifically what didn't work and where your library folder is located.

This problem was found in v2, I placed files strictly according to this link

https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/Scripts.htm#lib
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/_Include.htm

It is recognizable when using the full path, not when using the file name. For example:
I put the file in [A_ScriptDir "Lib\mylib.ahk"]
and it doesn't work when I use:
#include mylib.ahk

and nowhere does it claim it would. u should have written #include <mylib>

That is not a bug. You are not using the correct syntax. If you want your script to find it in one of the library folders, you must follow what the documentation shows. Using the name you have given your file, then the line would be literally:

Code: Select all

#Include <mylib>

The above does not include any stand-in characters or anything. You put the name of your library file without the extension enclosed in angle brackets.

Moving topic from “Bug Reports” to “Ask for Help (v2)”.

I've tried not using the extension but it still doesn't work

Is that really the only change you made after reading the above two posts? From my post above:

It works and I'm sorry for my sloppiness, thank you very much for your reply. This is my mistake, I put it in the wrong folder because I switched users so the user folder also changed
