The function

I actually started the program first, but it got very messy, and impossible to do any real scripting, so I made the functoin itself for a while, and forgot the program had even been started. after I finished the func, I went back through the folders (deleting tests and random snippets) and found the source for the GUI. I worked through the night and got this: Winshot-GUI (May I also take this chance to advertise my screenshot program, which was used to get this jpg)

And here is the source: FunkyText.au3

There are going to be a lot of problems, so please point them out. DO NOT complain to me about certain combinations of charaters for $B and $t, as this depends purely on the browser, and I will ignore it.

If you want me to add characters, please make my life easy and send the code, rather than just the letter, that way I can Just copy and past it in.

Case "F"
            $Line[0] &= "F"
            $Line[1] &= $B & $t & $t & $t & $t & $t & $t & $t & $B; -|||||||-
            $Line[2] &= $B & $t & $t & $t & $B & $B & $B & $B & $B; -|||-----
            $Line[3] &= $B & $t & $t & $t & $t & $t & $t & $B & $B; -||||||--
            $Line[4] &= $B & $t & $t & $t & $B & $B & $B & $B & $B; -|||-----
            $Line[5] &= $B & $t & $t & $t & $B & $B & $B & $B & $B; -|||-----

$B is for blank and $t is for text.

see my sig; thats waht you are aiming to get.

Test to input is the text to convert.

Text and blank refer to the characters you use eg:

; M@'s Funky text!!! - Blank character; - Text Character; ) Text converted; AUTOIT

; M@'s Funky text!!! - Blank character; - Text Character; | Text converted; AUTOIT

--|||--|||---||||||------|||-----||||||||--|||||||-----|||----

see the difference?

If you want to save it to a file, you put the file name in the input, or click the ... to find it through the dialog. If you select display file on exit, it quite simply shellexecutes the created file on exit. If you tick the other box (copy text to clipboard), or leave the save to file bit blank or with the original text, it will put the text on the clipboard. the check button does not work.

look at the link to winshot-GUI in my original post, It has a basic example.

as far as actual uses go, Titles, my sig etc are the only real examples.

a pretty bad video
