How to Send F5 to TC from my program (see inside)

[MVV]

First google result led me to this and I can't find any difference in logic between = and := except syntax. Both perform reading, concatenating, and then assigning.

MVV,

in the same site, I found some little differences, but the := can always replace the = assignment. With slight syntax differences:

My comment:
in AHK %var% means the value of the var.
Without % it is a litteral string.

CopyOfVar = %Var% ; With the = operator, percent signs are required to retrieve a variable's contents.

CopyOfVar := Var ; Unlike its counterpart in the previous
section, percent signs are not used with the := operator.

Preferred also because it (:=) supports an expression syntax nearly identical to that in many other languages.

eitang,

Which version of Delphi was your las one ?

Honestly, I don't remember anymore, it was a very long time ago.

The line where you fill up the list:

Code: Select all

FileDateList = %FileDateList%%TimeStamp%`n

is totally opaque to me... I presume that FileDateList is the name of the list (containing files*.* in the currently treated folder).

I don't understant how the = sign adds items ???

Actually, it's the list of the file dates, no reason to care about the file names.
The adding works like this:

Code: Select all

FileDateList                  = %FileDateList%                     %TimeStamp%                           `n
NewContent                    = OldContent                    plus NewValue                         plus `n
Updated list of all the dates = Current list of all the dates plus the date of the newly added file plus `n

FileDateList = %FileDateList%%TimeStamp%
NewContent = OldContent plus NewValue
Updated list of all the dates = Current list of all the dates plus the date of the newly added file

Hacker,

>> NewContent = OldContent plus NewValue

Ah! thank you. I could have figured it out: the %list% is (like always in AHK) the content of the list. Really stupid of me.

Thank you very much.

I am learning AHK with pleasure ! Thanks for that too <g> Also using SciTe!
