hornet Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Hello all, I am completely new to AutoIT and I am trying to learn how to use this program. Can someone direct me to some good lessons or tutorials? -hornet
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 15, 2010 Moderators Posted June 15, 2010 hornet,First, welcome to the AutoIt forums. Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.I know you want to start coding NOW, but a little study will save you a lot of trouble later on, believe me.

hornet Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks M23!! That was a lightning fast response. I have read over those particular items in the help file and I feel I have the basics down. Thanks for the links, I will definitely check them out. -hornet
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 15, 2010 Moderators Posted June 15, 2010 hornet,Good luck. You know where we are when you need help. Please remember the basic rules:Have a go at solving your problems beforehand and show us some code that reproduces the problem you are having. Having some code to work on is a great help - and no-one here is too keen to help the "code it for me" brigade. Think of the old saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; give a man a net and you feed him forever". We try to be net makers and repairers, not fishmongers.When you post code please use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here). Or press the blue button just under the BOLD toolbar button.You will not get such a fast response every time - but please do not bump your posts within 24 hours. Remember this is not a 24/7 support forum - those who answer are only here because they like helping others and have some time to spare. You just have to wait until someone who knows something about your particular problem, and is willing to help, comes online. Be patient and someone will answer eventually.And, most importantly, enjoy coding in AutoIt - we all do which is why we are here!
