Notepad automation not working

[adapagol]

Hi

I am a new user of Autoit v3. I have just started learning Autoit. But when I read the tutorial and run the example program ,'notepad automation' it does not work accordingly .But I can see lots of icons in my taskbar , and it continues creating such icon though I dont see any appearance of notepad in the screen. Here I like to mention that I always close the notepad application before running the script. Can anybody solve the problem plz?

Tks for reply. No i wrote exactly same as in tutorial Run("notepad.exe"). but it doesnt work Plz help me.

He meant did you save your script as: notepad.au3

Then the script thinks itself is the notepad.exe you Run()

Try saving you script as: notepadtester.au3.

Ok lets see:

1. What Editor did you use?

2. What did you call the file?

3. How did you run it ?

Only when you compile the notepad.au3 to notepad.exe.

Try saving you script as: notepadtester.au3.

just renaming will not solve anything unles the notepad.exe compiled script is also deleted!
