Best Script Ever!

[Ejoc]

This has to be the best AutoIt script EVER!!!!!

Enjoy:

$szFunc = ""
$szFile = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir")
if $szFile <> "" Then
    Run(@ComSpec & ' /c START "" "' & $szFile & '\AutoIt.chm"',"",@SW_HIDE)
    WinWait("AutoIt Help")
    Send("!n" & $szFunc & "{ENTER}")
Else
    Run(@Comspec & ' /c START http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.php',"",@SW_HIDE)
Endif

I also made a "lite" version:

$szFunc = ""
$szFile = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir")
if $szFile <> "" Then
    Run(@ComSpec & ' /c START "" "' & $szFile & '\AutoIt.chm"',"",@SW_HIDE)
    WinWait("AutoIt Help")
    Send("!n" & $szFunc & "{ENTER}")
Endif

Now when a newb posts we can say "Run this script"

edit:

Slightly better

$szFunc = ""
$szFile = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir")
if $szFile = "" Then
    MsgBox(0,"No Autoit","Is AutoIt installed?")
    exit
Endif

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c START "" "' & $szFile & '\AutoIt.chm"',"",@SW_HIDE)
WinWait("AutoIt Help")
WinActivate ( "AutoIt Help" )
Send("!n")
Send($szFunc&"{enter}")

instead of just a message box, should redirect them to

An AutotIt script, that tells people to download AutoIt, if it is not installed?

You guy's are funny.

If the noob does not have Autoit installed. How can they run the script, and to have it send them to the download site, to download AutoIt?

Hello!!!

[Ejoc]

It opens the help file to a certain function. The opening a browser to dl it is a secondary feature. If you install AutoIt via .zip and not the .exe it would open the browser

That way when noob #874635 asks how do I send text to a window you can just hit them with a script, something they'll run vs. RTFM which they get pissy at

$szFunc = "ControlSend"
$szFile = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir")
if $szFile <> "" Then
    Run(@ComSpec & ' /c START "" "' & $szFile & '\AutoIt.chm"',"",@SW_HIDE)
    WinWait("AutoIt Help")
    Send("!n" & $szFunc & "{ENTER}")
Else
    Run(@Comspec & ' /c START http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.php',"",@SW_HIDE)
Endif

So someone has a zip version, and you send them to Autoit downloads, to perhaps download the installer version, so it can be installed. So the script can read the new registry key, set by the installer, then it will open the helpfile, as in the script?

Am I correct, with this knowledge?

I am not sure if a noob, will understand any of this?

Edit: Why does the script, send them to Autoit downloads, when they already have the Autoit files and the helpfile already.

They dont need to understand it at all. Chances are they installed AutoIt w/ the .exe, which means it will open the help file 99% of the time, going to the dl page will only happen like 1% of the time.

What happens when you run the script, chances are it will open your autoit help file to ControlSend (thats what this script will do 99% of the time) Thats what this script does, you are focusing on something that will almost never happen. If you prefer focus on the "lite" version

$szFunc = "ControlSend"
$szFile = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir")
if $szFile <> "" Then
    Run(@ComSpec & ' /c START "" "' & $szFile & '\AutoIt.chm"',"",@SW_HIDE)
    WinWait("AutoIt Help")
    Send("!n" & $szFunc & "{ENTER}")
Endif

Here is the start of my most best script ever....

Dim $scvgdsadEDEssddfzDSCSDCDSBrainsize= ""

Dim $zzDDFcdsdgfssesddgesgghfrsdsHEADsize= "XXXXXXXXXLarge"

Dim $XXddkeksdjgkdjeskerjfksdjfjekDoorSise= "Toosmall"

Dim $dkfjekskeksjadjfkdfejkjerkejreHELP= "Jerry@carpentersrus.com"

If $zzDDFcdsdgfssesddgesgghfrsdsHEADsize >= "XXXXXXXXXXLarge" Then _Help()

Func _Help()

#include <INet.au3>

$s_MailTo=$dkfjekskeksjadjfkdfejkjerkejreHELP

$s_MailSubject="Help, I can't go home."

$s_MailBody="Please come and make my door bigger again"

_INetMail($s_MailTo, $s_MailSubject, $s_MailBody)

WinWaitActive("Mail To:")

If WinExists("Mail To:") Then

Sleep(5000)

Send("!+D")

EndIf

WinWaitActive("Signature")

If WinActive("Signature") Then

Send("O")

EndIf

EndFunc
