Script Editor issues?

[autoitman1]

I have several issues with the script editor

1. there is no "new autoit script" under the new menu

2. I cannot preview anything in koda without copying and pasting it into script editor, saving it, and then running it...

it keeps saying it cannot find the right program to run the .au3 file

3. It cannot run any or edit any .au3 files...there is no edit with option or anything...i have to open it in notepad and copy/paste again

please help...it is very annoying to copy and paste everything i need to edit

/running windows 7 x64 if it matters

thanks

Have you installed the full version of SciTe4AutoIt3? Or have you just installed AutoIt3 and are using the basic SciTE package that comes with it? If you install the full Scite4AutoIt3 package you should be able to do what you want.

[autoitman1]

yup i did install it...hell, i reinstalled it too...still no luck

SciTe is a general purpose editor and is not designed for AutoIt alone so "New> AutoIt file" doesn't exist but New file does. You save it with the au3 extension and you have your script. As far as I know Koda (part of the SciTe4AutoIt3 package) does not contain code to export to the editor. It's also a 3rd party addon and has no direct connection to any version of SciTe.

Your problem with file associations is usually handles by the AutoIt installer. It appears as if the registry keys are missing. Did you actually run the Installer package or did you just use the SFX version to install AutoIt?

[autoitman1]

oh no, i meant the new submenu when you right click on a black space on explorer

like in this video at (1:03)...

and i did download and install the "full installer" as it said on the download page

Check this registry key to see if you have done an override on the installer settings :

i went to the .au3 folder in regedit...but there is no userchoice folder or key...just 2 folders named OpenWithList and OpenWithProgids

So what do you see when you rightclick an au3 file in the Explorer?

What OS are you running?

[autoitman1]

i see open, open, edit, edit with notepad++

all options other than edit with notepad++ open it up with the default notepad

i am running windows 7

edit--

i also have the problem with the new submenu as described by the thread you pointed me 2

a solution will be forever appreciated, thanks you!

You can also run this script from SciTE (F5) and post the output.

; Scriptname: Get_AU3_Settings.au3

;
If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\Autoit3.exe') then
    MsgBox(16,"Autoit3.exe error",'File Autoit3.exe not found. Place this script in the AutoIt3 program directory and run it again.')
    Exit
EndIf
If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe') then
    MsgBox(16,"SciTE.exe error",'File ..\SciTE\SciTE.exe not found. Something is not installer the standard way. Exiting.')
    Exit
EndIf
$Open_SciTe = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"'
$Edit_SciTe = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"'

So you have done the association yourself for Notepad++

anyway ... show me the output of the above script.

[autoitman1]

"File Autoit3.exe not found. Place this script in the autoIt3 program directory and run it again."

so i compile it, put it under program files/autoit and run it...but then no response.

[autoitman1]

i know we are not allowed to ask for person help, but is it possible for me to screen-share via skype?

thank you

Copy it into the AutoIt3 program directory and run it from within SciTE.. Edited June 29, 2011 by Jos

[autoitman1]

i did...no response....here is where i put the script (in case i am not doing something right)

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3

[Jos]

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3

correct location.

So how are you trying to run it?

EDIT: you also saved it as Get_AU3_Settings.au3...right?

[autoitman1]

double clicking

i have several other scripts that i downloaded and they run fine when i double click them...when i mean scripts..i mean the compiled application, not the .au3 file

Thought I was pretty explicit on how to run it..

Open SciTE

Open the script in SciTE: Get_AU3_Settings.au3

Hit F5

Copy/Paste the output from the outputpane.

Looks good assuming you selected RUN as the default for autoit3 scripts.
