AHK - Easy edit scripts

This is a simple script that allows you to edit .ahk & .au3 files simply by pressing ctrl+e while they are highlighted in an explorer window.

#NoTrayIcon
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
^e::
   ControlGet, List, List, Selected, SysListView321
   FName := RegExReplace(List,"U)^(.*)`t.*$","$1")
   FPath := ShellFolder()
   Ext := SubStr(FName, -3, 4)
   If Ext in .ahk,.au3
   {
      Run, edit "%FPath%\%FName%"
   }  
Return

ShellFolder(hWnd=0)
{
   If   hWnd||(hWnd:=WinExist("ahk_class CabinetWClass"))||(hWnd:=WinExist("ahk_class ExploreWClass"))
   {
      COM_Init()
      psh  :=   COM_CreateObject("Shell.Application")
      psw  :=   COM_Invoke(psh, "Windows")
      Loop, %   COM_Invoke(psw, "Count")
         If   COM_Invoke(pwb:=COM_Invoke(psw, "Item", A_Index-1), "hWnd") <> hWnd
            COM_Release(pwb)
         Else   Break
      pfv  :=   COM_Invoke(pwb, "Document")
      sFolder   := COM_Invoke(pfi:=COM_Invoke(psf:=COM_Invoke(pfv, "Folder"), "Self"), "Path"), COM_Release(psf), COM_Release(pfi), pfi:=0
      COM_Release(psi)
      COM_Release(pfv)
      COM_Release(pwb)
      COM_Release(psw)
      COM_Release(psh)
      COM_Term()
      Return sFolder
   }
}

* Note - This script requires the COM Standard Library (you can place it in your standard lib directory, or #include it).
* Note - The ShellFolder() function was written by Sean from the AutoHotkey forums.

AHK - Make a script delete itself

With these few lines of code put in your OnExit label, your script will automatically delete itself when it exits. All it does is create a batch file and run it as soon as the script exits.

FileAppend, DEL "%A_ScriptFullPath%"`nDEL "%A_ScriptDir%\del.bat", %A_ScriptDir%\del.bat
Loop {
   if (FileExist(A_ScriptDir "\del.bat"))
      break
}
Run, del.bat,, Hide
Exitapp

AHK - GetFileLines()

This is a simple function that retrieves the total number of lines in a text file, without using any loops. I tested it on a file with about 1200 lines and it took less than 20ms.

GetFileLines(ByRef OutputVar,FileLocation) {
  FileRead, File, % FileLocation
  StringSplit, Lines, File, `n
  OutputVar := Lines0
}

Example use

GetFileLines(TotalLines,"YourTextFile.txt")
MsgBox YourTextFile.txt has %TotalLines% lines!

AHK - Function Linker for forums

This is a script I just threw together that will replace names of functions and built-in variables with links to the online documentation. For example, when I type MsgBox it replaces it with [url=http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/MsgBox.htm]MsgBox[/url].

Toggles suspend with the insert key, suspends when you type [code] and un-suspends when you type [/code].

*Note - I left out the special loops because the didn't have a standard page (yes, I'm lazy, might add them later). I also left out the "If var" commands because I didn't feel like including them

AHK - ASCII to HEX converter

This is a simple function that converts ASCII into HEX

AscToHex(str)
{
   NStr =
   Tmp := A_FormatInteger
   SetFormat, Integer, H
   Loop, Parse, str
      NStr .= RegExReplace(asc(A_LoopField),"^0x")
   SetFormat, Integer, %Tmp%
   Return NStr
}

For example, "Hello World!" becomes

48656C6C6F20576F726C6421

AHK - SendDelay()

This function will have a script send "key" only once every "delay" milliseconds.

SendDelay(key,delay) {
   Global
   If (lastSent_%key% = "" || lastSent_%key% < A_TickCount - delay)
   {
      Send %key%
      lastSent_%key% := A_TickCount
      Return 1
   }
   Return 0
}

For example, the following script will send the "a" key once every 1.5 seconds.

Loop
   SendDelay("a",1500)

For a better example, see the post AHK - World of Warcraft - Shaman ES/SS spam

AHK - MultiPress()

This is a function I wrote that allows you to press a hotkey multiple times and have different things happen for the number of presses.

MultiPress(Max=-1)
{
   Presses := 1
   KeyWait, %A_ThisHotkey%
   Loop
   {
      KeyWait, %A_ThisHotkey%, D T0.25
      If (ErrorLevel || (Presses >= Max && Max > 0))
         Break
      Presses++
      KeyWait, %A_ThisHotkey%
   }
   Return Presses
}

An example of use for this function is

a::
   P := MultiPress()
   MsgBox Pressed %A_ThisHotkey% %P% times!
Return

AHK - World of Warcraft - Shaman ES/SS spam

This is a script that will make you spam Earth Shock/Stormstrike repeatedly when you press the F5 key, until the F5 key is pressed again. To use, set earth shock to hotkey 2 and stormstrike to hotkey 1.

GoGoShammySpam = 1
WinWaitActive, Untitled
Time := A_TickCount
Loop {
   If (GoGoShammySpam) {
      If (SendDelay("1",10000)) ; Stormstrike
         sleep, 1500            ; GCD
      If (SendDelay("2",6000))  ; Earth Shock
         sleep, 1500            ; GCD
   }
}

f5::GoGoShammySpam:=!GoGoShammySpam

SendDelay(key,delay) {
   Global
   If (lastSent_%key% = "" || lastSent_%key% < A_TickCount - delay)
   {
      Send %key%
      lastSent_%key% := A_TickCount
      Return 1
   }
   Return 0
}

*Note - The use of this script violates World of Warcraft's Terms of Service, and can get you banned. It is meant as an example. I do not recommend or advocate the use of this script on live servers. If you are stupid enough to use it, I take no responsibility for the consequences.

AU3 - Dynamic Variable Example

Here's an example of how to create a dynamic variable in AU3.

$Fu    = "World!"
$Bar   = "Fu"
$Fubar = "Hello " & Execute("$"&$Bar)

In this example, $Fubar is set to "Hello World!"

Here's a function that will convert all variables and macros in a string into their stored values.

Func ParseMacros($Str)
   Global
   Local $Macros = StringRegExp($Str,"([\$\@]\w+)",3)
   If Not @error Then
      For $i=0 to UBound($Macros) - 1 step 1
         $Str = StringRegExpReplace($Str,"\"&$Macros[$i],StringReplace(Execute($Macros[$i]),"\","\\"))
      Next
   EndIf
   Return $Str
EndFunc

For example, using the variables from the first code, this will evaluate to "Hello World!"

ParseMacros("Hello $Fu")

I find this useful for scripts where you need to store dynamic strings in a text file, because you can just use something like ParseMacros(FileRead("File.txt")) and you get a nice dynamic string to play with.

AHK - Scan Code Finder

A short script that creates a listview that will record the scan codes of the keys you press. Credits to Krogdor for creating this method of finding the scan code of pressed keys.

#InstallKeybdhook
#NoTrayIcon

Gui, Add, ListView, r20 w150 h125 NoSort Readonly, SC
Gui, Show, Autosize
Loop 9
  OnMessage( 255+A_Index, "ScanCode" ) ; 0x100 to 0x108
Return

ScanCode( wParam, lParam ) {
   Static Prev := 0
   If (Prev != SubStr((((lParam>>16) & 0xFF)+0xF000),-2)) {
      LV_Insert(1,"Focus Select","SC" SubStr((((lParam>>16) & 0xFF)+0xF000),-2))
      LV_Modify(2,"-Select")
   }
   Prev := SubStr((((lParam>>16) & 0xFF)+0xF000),-2)
}

GuiClose:
ExitApp

AHK - Notepad Indent

This is a simple key replacement I use for notepad that replaces the TAB character with 3 spaces. Just my personal preference for indenting nested ifs, loops, etc.

#NoTrayIcon
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad
:*:`t::{SPACE 3}

AHK - A simple auto-clicker

Simply auto-clicks when the left mouse button is held down. Insert toggles the auto-clicker on and off.

Insert::
  Hotkey, LButton, Toggle
  Hotkey, LButton Up, Toggle
Return
LButton::
  Loop
  {
     If (Stop)
        Break
     Send {lbutton}
  }
  Stop := 0
Return
LButton Up::Stop := 1
