I need to choose a Windows automation scripting language. Which one do you recommend; AutoIt , AutoHotkey , or an other? I have read " An AutoIt / AutoHotkey comparison ". Interesting history, but without recommendation. Searching Google leaves around 312k hits for AutoHotkey Windows vs 482k for AutoIt Windows . On Stack Overflow there are 15 questions tagged autoit vs 18 autohotkey . I am interested in your opinion as programmers. Which one do you think is easier to use, more deployable and more powerful in terms of functionality? I have already used AutoHotkey for personal use, so my initial

I need to get columns from a CSV file into an array (multidimensional array or array of arrays). I used CSV.au3 which loads the rows just fine, but I need the columns in that place. My CSV file looks like: Item 1, Item 2, Another Item Item 3, Item 4 It creates a multidimensional array that looks like: $aResult[0] = [0] => 'Item 1', [1] => 'Item 2', [2] => 'Another Item' $aResult[1] = [0] => 'Item 3', [1] => 'Item 4' Where I would like it to look like: $aResult[0] = [0] => 'Item 1', [1] => 'Item 3' $aResult[1] = [0] => 'Item 2', [1] => 'Item 4' $aResult[2] = [0] => 'Another Item' For each row

Chemicals have a trade name (which is what it is commonly referred to as) and an actual chemical name. I need to look up a trade name, find its proper chemical name, then get properties of that chemical. For example: $tradeName = "Voranol" if $tradeName == "Voranol" then $productName = "Polyether Polyol" $flare = "List I" $bay = "1" $listPos = 3 EndIf I have an .au3 file that contains a ton of products. It works fine but it's kind of tedious to do if $tradeName == "Name1" or $tradeName == "Name2" or $tradeName == "Name4" or $tradeName == "Name5" . I will also need to be able to edit it

I want to automatically define incrementing variable names. So instead of this: $Var1 = 'This is variable one :P' $Var2 = 'This is variable two :P' I'd like this (pseudo code): For $i = 1 to UBound($People)-1 **$var[$i]** = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($var[$i], 24, $y, 200, 17) $y = $y + 25 Next Does anyone know how? The code should make as many checkboxes as defined in an array and every checkbox should have its own variable. You're looking for the Assign function! Check out this example: For $i = 1 To 5 Assign('var' & $i, $i); Next Then you can access these variables with: MsgBox(4096, "My dynamic

I have to convert a hexadecimal number to decimal, but don't know how. In the AutoIt documentation (pictured below) some constants (being assigned hexadecimal values) are defined: 0x00200000 hexadecimal (underlined in image) equals 8192 decimal (this is the true conversion). But convertors return 2097152 . I have to convert another hex value ( 0x00000200 ), but convertors get it wrong. How to correctly convert it? When I use the definition $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE (or a hexadecimal value), it doesn't work. If I use an integer I believe it will work. As per Documentation - Language Reference -

I have the following code to capture and process the Run command output. How do I modify it such that the Run command window displays output and at the same time the output gets logged? Replacing @SW_HIDE with @SW_SHOW (or the equivalent) just shows a blank command window. Something similar to the linux tee command which logs to file while it prints STDOUT. $CurrentPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $CurrentLogCmd, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) If Not ProcessWaitClose($CurrentPID,60) Then WriteLog("[Warning] Timed-out.Finding date in current hour raw log -" & $CurrentLogFileName) $F
