Moderators Melba23 Posted May 26, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2019 zoel, Which AutoIt book did you read? I would recommend this one: Other than that, what would you like to do with AutoIt? If you have a specific goal in mind it is much easier to understand the limited number steps you need to do it, rather then facing the entire AutoIt function list and being completely bewildered.

zoel Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hi people, as the title suggests how you learned to code in AutoIT, I'm 16 years old and never learned how to code, I read the AutoIT help file but I dont understand nothing. Can you give me any advice that I can use. Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The Autoit help file is really helpful source to understanding how functions work, majority of the functions include examples, remember to utilize the help file search which will usually display relevant topics. If you're unsure about how to do something use Google Search for example Autoit Query... 9 times out of 10 it will find posts in this forum that have already covered the topic. If you're still unable to find the answer ask in the forums, just remember that the majority of people in the forums don't like to spoon feed and want to see the person has at least made an attempt to resolve the issue on their own. This is how I learned Autoit, although still have a lot to learn. Just my 2 cents zoel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 @zoel Also try to avoid double negatives as it means the reverse of what you intend. That will help you improve your logic, something pretty useful for programing. zoel and Gianni 2 This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe hereRegExp tutorial: enough to get startedPCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

argumentum Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 ok, 16 or 61 maters not. There are simple basics one should be familiar with. The first one is the command prompt. I would recommend to first learn how to run batch files. Then maybe some basic HTML, just to see how changing markup language works. ( no CSS, javascript, etc., just HTML ) Once you have some experience with these files, then writing simple AutoIt code, is not so hard. cmd runs the .bat files. your browser runs .htm files.AutoIt runs the .au3 files. Learning something so abstract as coding, takes time. Take all the time that is needed. The mind needs time to work and the cycles are by sleep cycles, so it'll take days to learn, years to be able to do what some ppl here can do, and even them share their limitations at times, to get aid from those in the forums. So go at it. I did and now enjoy the know how Cheers Skysnake and zoel 2 Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.

Moderators Melba23 Posted May 28, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2019 zoel, We understand your problem, but please stick to just the one thread - merged. And as I suggested above, decide on a simple project to code in AutoIt and see what you can do on your own first. You will find lots of help here if you make some effort yourself and do not expect others to spoon-feed you code - which woul not help you learn anyway.
