W2lkm2n Posted January 10, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 10, 2013 Moderators Share 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 Share 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.
