SciTE editor

[ChrisBarber 0]

I am a relatively new AutoIt user. I am currently using AutoIt to create a series of Console application (run from command line). is it possible to modify the Ctrl+F7 function to include the /console parameter?

Thanks for any help,

Chris.

Add the following line to the top of your code:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

SciTE uses a wrapper (Imaginatively called AutoIt3Wrapper) that acts as a pre-compiler (and post-compiler) that will allow you to do alot more than the standard Aut2Exe. I believe that that particular directive does not require the full SciTE4AutoIt3 package, but haven't tested so can't be sure.

Oh yes... And Welcome to the Forums

Mat,

Thanks for the tip, however, it did not work. When I click on the compile option or press Ctrl+F7 the following is displayed in the output window

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\aut2exe\aut2exe.exe" /in "D:\My Documents\My AutoIT\webvalidate.au3"

Which leads me to believe that the command is stored in a config file or something. I have looked at the Properties file and API file but neither have anything that looks likely.

Thanks for the welcome, I hope to be able to post some answers here instead of just questions.

Chris.

You have to look at the SciTE lexer for AutoIt. WHile in SciTE, look under options > Open .au3 properties.

WARNING! You can easily mess up your installation of SciTE. Be very careful on what you are doing.

MPH,

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Ah right then...

I recommend you install the full SciTE4AutoIt3 then, it has a lot of very good tools and you'll be able to use the above method.

Download page (you want the top installer)

It has everything you'll ever need
