A idea to make AutoIt better

[Cw2K1]

i know there are some UDF but adding these to include files will help many people who asks for it. is it not good?

#MakeMeService ; with documents in help file
#RunAsServices
#include <Service.au3>
;etc

if anyone know the code to make a app as service (without rebooting) under NT / Win2k than share it with me.

also i think '$' should be removed as this

For i = 1 To listview1.listitems.Count
   'determine existence of /
    If InStr(listview1.listitems(i), "/") > 0 Then
        'convert
    End If
Next

there is no '$' in it. it's a VB code i used for example. it will make autoit code easy and fast

A = "100"
b = @ScriptDir
P = "Path"
MsgBox(0, P, B, A)

converted with variables

$a = "100"
$b = @ScriptDir
$P = "Path"
MsgBox(0, $P, $B, $A)

I think the answer will be no.

This topic has been covered thoroughly already. The idea of achieving it with just a compiler flag is silly because it doesn't provide the many parameters required to properly configure a service.

For i = 1 To listview1.listitems.Count
   'determine existence of /
    If InStr(listview1.listitems(i), "/") > 0 Then

b = @ScriptDir

MsgBox(P, B, A)

I personally dislike the VB convention of variables without a delimiter very much, and hope your idea is never adopted.

$ and @ were used in the beginning because my skill at writing an interpreter was low. But now it's in the language there is no way it will be removed - it would break a gazillion scripts. I get in enough trouble for changing a single function as it is...

If I wanted to code in vb style, I would code vb....

i can write a simple script for removing all '$' from all autoit scripts. or maybe someone else will do it in some minutes only.

there are some cool scripts in 'Example Scripts' for removing unneeded and adding needs includes.

Epic... And effectively true for this user. His usless requests are getting on my nerves. IMO things are fine the way they are now.
