is there a way to make the script respond to user keystrokes? i.e the script im making goes out of synch and becomes more or less useless if th user messes with the keyboard. I need a way to use the Send command to respond to the user.

*directly from help file:* repeat, <#> ;*code* EndRepeat this will repeat a section of the script up to the following 'EndRepeat' command for <#> times. if <#> is zero, the loop will be infinite. i.e. Repeat, 10 Send, Hello Endrepeat the above code will type out the message Hello ten times

is there a way to do this so that it blocks keyboard input with the exception of Alt-tab, and then popup a menu to yes/no continue/exit script? this was my script but it didnt work ======= ;;if program is inactive, then... Winwait active, 'program', 0 ;;open message box with yes/no choices msgbox, 20, Continue?, "To continue with script, click YES. To end script, click NO." if Yes ;;restore alt-tab'ed 'program' WinRestore, 'program' else ;;exit autoit and script exit, 'autoit.exe' 'script.aut' ======= im not sure the exact if/else commands, but im used to using VB

i got it. i was trying to run 'autoit.exe /reveal' but it worked after i browsed and added '/reveal' to the entire command line wxcellent...

how do i get into the autoit's reveal mode?

hm.... another question... WinHide, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinShow, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinRestore, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinMinimize, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinMaximize, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinActivate, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] WinClose, <Window Title> [,<Window Text>] If the window exists, the relevant command (i.e. minimizing, hiding, activating, etc.) will be performed. most of the winwait... and window commands (above) refer to 'window text.' what does that stand for? *EDIT* im an idiot nvm

he could never take me... im much too powerful please dont hurt me.

whoa... im reading the help file over again and copy/pasting the basics into sortove a 'cheat sheet' i can actually understand some of them now i appreciate this man, most admins that ive seen *COUGHCOUGHHALOCOUGH* are more powermongers than moderators. This really helped...

oh... heh... im used to html... guess that about clears it up for nowthanks

haha... already got a second dealie... im looking through the help file for basics and im working on mouseclick ive used LeftClick, <0>, <74> LeftClick, <40>, <40> LeftClick, <30>, <40> LeftClick, <40>, <0> just to see the scale of numbers and it always seems to click in the same place *EDIT* same problem with drag, moves to exact same spot

oic... works good thanks

this is 2... autoIt3 is only beta right? so does this incluse both backslash (\\) and slash(//)?

obviously just started this and im already confused at the help file firstly, how do you set the .ini to open an executable? i tried the code to open run menu: ;===== send, {LWIN}r send, C:{\}Folder{\}File.exe send, {enter} ;===== but the backslashes didnt show up guess i should just start at that and postr more as i run into them thanks Sera
