W2lkm2n Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I want to run a "utility" script which performs small tasks, like closing specific windows if they appear, short urls with hotkey, resize window if some specific thing happens, set volume to a specific level if media player start, etc. What is the best (I mean fastest-running, least memory-consuming) way to run it all the time ? If I do While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd won't it slow down my computer ? What about memory ? I tought I do it like this: a bunch of AdlibRegister() and HotkeySet() If I need a new functionality, I just add one more and that's it. Is there a better way ? Also what is the best way if I edit and save, the script reload itself (or at least one click solution). Also, I would like to see all the ConsoleWrite() output. How can I see it without running Scite ? Edited January 10, 2013 by W2lkm2n
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 10, 2013 Moderators Posted January 10, 2013 Since you don't post your whole code, I would suggest that if you want to find out whether a short sleep with consume fewer resources than AdLibRegister - try it! Regarding the output, if it is something where you'll want historical data I would suggest writing out to a log file. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

BrewManNH Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 You can always compile the script as a console app and run it from the cmd console, that way you'll see all the consolewrites. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
