HurleyShanabarger Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I was lucky enough to learn about the abbreviation feature after almost 14 years of using AutoIt trough this thread: I tried to use the user feature, but I guess I am doing a mistake. The following files have been created, but if I type cwrgui nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious here? Edited June 3, 2020 by HurleyShanabarger

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 2, 2020 Moderators Posted June 2, 2020 It is, and whether this is a general support question or a "technical discussion" could be open to interpretation. However, as it appears to be a problem you are having and want assistance with, and as moving it here will put many more sets of eyes on it, I think it makes sense.

This is after all why I wrote it! M23 Expand I tried this way and it did not bring the expected result. After that I checked the files that you can see in the screenshots, so there was not really manual work involved. So far it is not working for new abbreviations, but if I use the program to overwrite an existing one, this is working.
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 3, 2020 Moderators Posted June 3, 2020 HurleyShanabarger, I see you have a "|" character in the abbreviation - have you downloaded and replaced the current file with the Beta version of Abbrev Manager to which I linked above?

HurleyShanabarger Posted June 3, 2020 Author Posted June 3, 2020 Yes, I was using the mentioned beta version. I just uninstalled AutoIt / SciTe and reinstalled everything and it started working. Not sure what the issue was, as I recently reinstalled windows and everything from scratch.
