Hello autoit scripters,

So I spend a lot of time looking through these forums, as well as other scripting forums, looking for interesting/useful/cool udfs/example scripts that I might need to use for a current project or is something that I am interested in learning more about and/or how to do it myself. Unfortunately, however, many of the udfs/scripts provided on aforementioned scripting forums only contain the text which makes up the source code for that particular udf/script rather than attaching the script file to the forum post. I can understand why this is done, but that understanding does little to reduce the time consuming process of creating a new script file, opening it, copying the udf/script source code and (optionally) name of udf/script, pasting the source into the newly created file and (optionally) pasting the name as the new file name, saving, and then finally closing. Tired of this monotonous, hair-pulling (if I had any ), time-consuming process, I wrote this script to create a simple GUI which will significantly speed up this process for three different script file extensions: you simply input the name you want to name the script file in the input box (with or without extension). If the file name you provided does not have one the recognized script extensions (ps1, au3, vbs), then it will allow you to select the radio button associated with the file extension for the script you want to create. If the file name does have one of the recognized extensions, the script will automatically check the radio button associated with the detected extension and disable the others. Then paste the source code into the edit control and click "Create". Now this is where it gets interesting. If you already have a file with the same name in the script directory (configured upon first launch), then it will determine if the content in the already existing file is the same as the content in the edit control by comparing the text from the edit control to the text in the already existing file after stripping out the trailing and leading white space for each line and any empty lines. I am fully aware that commented lines/sections could cause this text comparison functionality to not work, but it does currently eliminate the default commented lines that come standard whenever an AutoIT script is created from the context menu (eg all lines leading up to "; Script Start - Add your code below here") from the text compare process, and I will get around to removing all comments from the text compare process if/when I feel like it. If the script determines the text content is the same, it will overwrite the already existing script with the content from the edit control. If it determines the contents are not the same, it will open the udf/script file in the default text editor associated to that particular file's extension, and prompts you with the options to either overwrite the contents, rename the new file so there is no conflict, or cancel the operation. Rinse and repeat. Hope you all enjoy! :geek:

Updated: If the text in the file name input box has spaces, they will be replaced with underscores in the actual file name (because who likes spaces in regards to scripting?)

Updated again (7/13/17): I forgot to account for the file encoding properties for powershell and visual basic scripts. The correct file encoding has now been specified and script is working as it should.

Very neat. I get an error about $SHEX_OPEN when I compile - I assume there's a missing include? I've simply replaced it with "Open" for now.

No... Compiles a ok for me. Make sure you have the latest version of AutoIT installed. The scripts that I upload are written, and will compile successfully, using the latest version of Autoit.

Aha! ok, my version is 3.3.12 - I'd missed the new release. Thanks.
