Title: AHK help needed please
Post by: Connorsdad on August 07, 2013, 05:06:19 pm

I have 8 Ahk.exes loading at startup of windows, each one has a custom loop consisting of:

Code: [Select]

Loop
{
Process, Wait, process.exe
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process.exe
run blah blah
}
So Ahk_process1.exe would have:

Code: [Select]

Loop
{
Process, Wait, process1.exe
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process1.exe
run blah blah
}
Ahk_process2.exe would have:

Code: [Select]

Loop
{
Process, Wait, process2.exe
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process2.exe
run blah blah
}
etc etc etc

How do I combine these into one ahk?

You can combine them, but autohotkey does not support multi-threading. It runs code one line at at time.

Only one of the processes will be active at any one time therefore only one loop will be active at any one time. How do I have all the loops in one ahk script?

Only one of the processes will be active at any one time...

If that's the case, I'm thinking something like this could work:

Code: [Select]

Loop
{

Process, Wait, process1.exe, 0.1
If (ErrorLevel != 0)
{
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process1.exe
run blah blah
}

Process, Wait, process2.exe, 0.1
If (ErrorLevel != 0)
{
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process2.exe
run blah blah
}

Process, Wait, process3.exe, 0.1
If (ErrorLevel != 0)
{
run blah blah
Process,WaitClose, process3.exe
run blah blah
}

}
