AutoHotkey"Absolutely the Best Free Windows Utility Software Ever!"

ComputorEdge Online is now dedicated to the Free Windows Scripting Language AutoHotkey, which should be a part of every Windows user's computing. It is the single most powerful and flexible tool for anyone who regularly uses Windows computers. Not only does it quickly and easily add valuable features to all of your Windows programs, but it keeps your brain nimble as you create and build new innovative ways to make your life simpler. If you've ever considered learning more about computers or developing programming skills, then there is no easier way to get started than AutoHotkey. For example, using only one line in a Notepad file, you can instantly add a shortcut for entering your e-mail address anywhere. (See this introductory page!) "While it's simple to get started, AutoHotkey has the power to write full-blown apps, such as those shown on our AutoHotkey Apps page. What starts with a few simple Hotkeys and Hotstrings soon expands into an addiction—at least it has for me." —Jack Dunning
My obsession with AutoHotkey has me writing a regular blog (at least once or twice a week). I'm now working with a WordPress blogging site to continue my AutoHotkey work. The best part is that WordPress is free and easy to use. I spend my time digging into the details of various aspects of AutoHotkey script writing. I've already explored the expanding topic of "Beginning Hotstring Techniques" and am currently working through a series on the alternative ways to work with Hotkeys. I added a couple more useful AutoHotkey Regular Expression (RegEx) examples (with more planned to expand on the book A Beginner's Guide to Using Regular Expressions in AutoHotkey), and will continue wherever the varied paths take me. While I'm doing a series of blogs on AutoHotkey topics, if there is something that you want to see, then either leave a comment on the blog or drop me a line at this special e-mail address. I will do my best to answer as promptly as possible. . *

This Beginner's Guide to Using Regular Expressions in AutoHotkey is not a beginning level AutoHotkey book, but an introduction to using Regular Expressions in AutoHotkey (or most other programming languages). To get the most from this book you should already have a basic understanding of AutoHotkey (or another programming language). Regular Expressions (RegEx) are a powerful way to search and alter documents without the limitations of most of the standard matching functions. At first, the use of RegEx can be confusing and mysterious. This book clears up the confusion with easy analogies for understanding how RegEx works and examples of practical AutoHotkey applications. "Regular Expressions in AutoHotkey" will take you to the next level in AutoHotkey scripting while adding more flexibility and power to your Windows apps.
