Hello moonwhaler 443,

I started scripting with Autoit around 20.06.2004, so I think I am still somewhat new myself. Ok, I was not new to any kind of scritping or programming so perhaps it was easier for me. But I really recommend to read the helpfile. The helpfile of AutoIt is very good in my opinion. Have a look in the example scripts, read in the helpfile what the commands used in there do and try to understand them. Then try to slightly modify the examples, a little try and error is never wrong

Best thing is allways learning by doing. Additionaly you could read a book for beginers about generally programming where the basics are explained which elements are in most kinds of programming / scriptlanguages (loops, variables, functions etc).

Good luck and I wish you success starting scripting with AutoIt

Well, Sugi just created a Wiki for this purpose, and I just updated it with a bit of "Where to Start" type help...

Hope that gets you started! Let me know what it's lacking, or fix it yourself love that Wiki action...

me too, I suggest that we all add to it as we answer questions here, that'll sure make it more complete... That's the great thing about Wiki, anyone can edit it, we can all make it better.
