Is it possible to run the code from forum ?

[kcvinu]

Hi all,

This is my doubt. Is it possible to run the autoit code from the forum ?. If somebody add that feature to forum, it will be very easy for learners to try the code snippet in various forums. Just add another button to run and stop the code. And ofcourse, a console window too needed. 

If that is not possible, atleast, is it possible to add a "Copy to Clipboard" button to forum, so that we can easily copy the code and paste into our own ide.

Do you honestly think it would be advisable to be able to run code right in the browser from a web page, when there's no telling who is putting what in there?

@JLogan3o13 ,

I don't know the techincal details, but its just my wish. I have seen so many websites run code and display result. 

Edit - Ok, If it is not advisable, then what about adding a copy to clipboard button ?

How hard is it to hit CTRL + C?

To run AutoIt code directly from the forum would be a security nightmare. So you need to stick with Ctrl + c

[Mannyfresh15]

People these days....

Create your one function.

a hotkey.

then you  select some autoit code in forum press you hotkey and create a temp file open with Scite and run it.

Ok, i can understand. 

But the entire copy process needs this much steps.

1. Click the "Popup" button

2. Click on the poped up window.

3. Press Ctrl + A to select all

4. Press Ctrl + C to copy. 

All i am asking to make it to one step. Just add a Copy button. That's all.

@Danyfirex ,

I am planning/making something like that. Will be released soon. And that is not only for me, but also entire forum.

[JLogan3o13]

Seriously, four clicks is worth all this? And yet you have the patience to code?

[RyukShini]

I really don't see anyone who will use this?
its so simple and quite fast imo.
Double click code, CTRL+A, CTRL+C
Come one, are you that laizy

Hello.  My brother and I wrote this small Google Chrome extension that allow load(No Run Directly. you must press F5) the code directly in SciTE.

By default Scritps are saved in Desktop when you run it.

How to Install:

In host Folder Run install_host.bat (try to keep an static folder) If you move the folder after you run install_host.bat  You must install again.

Load The Extension (autoitextension Folder) as Developer Mode In Google Chrome Settings.  

You can edit AutoitCodeRunner.au3 to make it work as your need.

How it works.

Basically It Injects a "Run" Button in every AutoIt code tag Like This:

Check Source for more details.

AutoItCodeRunner.zip

@Danyfirex , 

That's great. Thanks for the help. I am developing  a script to do this task. But it is not completed. This is the working scenario.

1. After starting program, it asks you to enter the link of the page.

-------- You only need to hover the mouse above a text box. It will paste automatically.

2. Then the program asks to enter the post number without # key.

3. Now, this program uses  _INetGetSource function to download the source of that webpage.

4. Then the program search for "#PostNum" to find the desired post.

5. Then it will search for "#PostNum + 1" to find the ending boundary of the desired post. If not found, last letter of source text will be the boundary.

6. Then this program will strip all text related to #PostNum.

7. Then it will search for "ipsCode">". Which is the starting position of autoit code in that post.

8. Then it will search for "</pre>" . Which is the ending position of autoit code.

9. Now we got the autoit code with some java script codes (mostly @CRLF and @Tab). Next task is to replace the java script code with appropriate autoit chars. 

10. Last but not least, save the autoit code somewhere and open it in SciTE.

So simple. No regex, only native functions. But i have completed only 8 steps and working on step 9. Anyhow, let me test your tool. Thanks

@Danyfirex ,

Great!! That works like a charm...  

But it's saving location is Desktop. Can i change it ? I cant find anything related to saving path in that au3 file. Anyway, this program makes an urge in me to learn javascript asap. Thanks for this help.

Here's something I just wrote up. It copies the contents of the clipboard to a file, asks the user if they are sure they want to run this code, and if yes then runs it. You could Pin this script in the Taskbar and run it after copying the script into your clipboard. You could also create a shortcut to the script and set a hotkey using the shortcut properties page.

Added sample.

@BetaLeaf ,

Interesting... Thanks for this script. Let me test your script. As far as i know, i need to copy the code from the browser. Pls correct me if i am wrong.  

Anyway, Danyfirex's solution needs a single click on this run button. It's like you are reading the code in the help file. Just a click, SciTE is open with your code.

You are correct. You also need to set the options, specifically the $AutoItRun to point to the correct path. While I like the idea of a chrome extension, if you sync chrome on multiple computers, it may cause problems if autoit is in the wrong location/isn't installed.

[kcvinu]

@BetaLeaf ,

Yeah, you are correct. And fortunately, i am using chrome in a single pc.

I am too but I have a portable version of chrome I use sometimes. I also have a portable version of autoit as you might have already noticed.

@BetaLeaf,

So , you didn't tested Danyfirex's extension yet ?
