AutoEmpty

[0p3r4710n]

Well I started learning AutoIt last night and this was the second full script I wrote. I was fairly excited about this, that is, until I came to the forums and saw how complex everyone else's scripts are :">

I guess I'll post it anyway.

This script will delete any files that are put into your recycle bin instantly. Basically it just empties your recycle bin automatically so that you don't have to.

; Start Script

#NoTrayIcon

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Inf")

$run=MsgBox(36, "Run", "Run AutoEmpty?")
If $run=7 Then
    Exit 0
    EndIf
If $run=6 Then

$i = 9
While $i < 10
    FileRecycleEmpty()
    Sleep(1)
    $i = $i - 1
WEnd

EndIf

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
            sleep(1)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    MsgBox(4096,"","Thank you for using AutoEmpty v1.0!")
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func Inf()
    MsgBox(64, "Version" , "Version 1.0 of AutoEmpty. Written by Tommy Moiseve <tmoiseve@gmail.com>")
EndFunc

; End Script

Comments? Thanks!

Great first script

Very cleanly written, nice job. A bit ill-tabbed, but it looks pretty good overall. Might want to fix this section's indents:

[Func Terminate()

sleep(1)

ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)

MsgBox(4096,"","Thank you for using AutoEmpty v1.0!")

Exit 0

EndFunc/code]

yeah I was going back and editing a lot so I lost some of the correct indentations. Thanks for the feedback though =)

I also need some ideas for some more noob-friendly scripts. I wrote an autoclicker for no particular reason but to test what I had learned. I think Im going to try something that involves moving the mouse and such (already made a handy little thing that tells the coords of your mouse... autoit is turning out to be a really fun language =p).

I don't mean to knock your script, but it's simple to configure Windows to always bypass the recycle bin

Friend told me that shortly after I posted this...

But I don't care, it's my first script and it doesn't really matter if it's useful or not I guess =/
