Is the flow correct ?

In your FileExist function, provide the full path to that file. An alternative is to set the working directory.

Okay, I just change the FileExist function and provide the full path to that file. An arbitrary path is C:\Users\Folder. And I noticed, when I run the task, the file is actually created in C:\Windows\System32.

The same applies wherever you refer to that file. Example is below.

Code: Select all

file := pathTo..\..\File.txt
If FileExist(file)
 MsgBox, File Exists.
Else
{
 MsgBox, File does not exist.
 FileAppend, AUTOHOTKEY`n, %file%
 Return
}

The same problem occurs, whenever I run the program in a task in task scheduler, the file is now created not in the working directory which is C:\Users\Folder, but in C:\Windows\System32. I want the file to be created in the same folder as the program, so its in the same place.

You can use the following to refer to the script's directory.

Code: Select all

file = %A_ScriptDir%\File.txt
