What can Auto-It do

[Rewl]

First off, let me apologize about thread about automation.

Now, on topic.

What can Auto-It script as in programs etc? I'm wondering if I should either just learn auto-it or go to something like c++.

Also, what have you guys been able to make in a short amount of time of learning Auto IT?

What time have you spent reading the available info before posting this question?

I actaully have gone through example scripts etc and everything, youtube etc. I just wanna see what you guys have made.

Example Scripts

everything is the short answer. Certainly anything C++ can do. Just try it, and if you haven't made something useful within a week then you are trying wrong.

I'm still pretty novice at it and I've managed to create some pretty intricate scripts. There are a lot of built-in functions that make it really simple to carry out complex tasks. I think AutoIT is a good way to start getting the hang of the basics of programing (loops, conditional statements, functions, problem solving methods, etc...). I've already began trying out programming in Python and I gotta tell you, I have a leg up on it because of AutoIT. As for some example scripts, feel free to browser through my signature

Autoit is a dream language because is very easy to learn and offers you alot of functions to play with. C++ is the best programming language but you have to spend years to master it.

Says who, why?

I think the "best" language is the one that gets the job done efficiently and to the specs that are required.

See my sig!

Seriously though, with the many included functions as well as user developed functions, there isn't much autoit can't do, and being as it's BASIC-like, has a relatively low learning curve.
