#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"Process Identifier...",@AutoItPID,5)
Send("{ENTER}")

ConsoleWrite("Enter key is pressed..")
Send("{ENTER}")

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"Script Name..",@ScriptName,5)

Send("{ENTER}")

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"Script Directory",@ScriptDir,6)
Send("{ENTER}")

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"Script Line Number",@ScriptLineNumber,5)
Send("{ENTER}")

2. Variable

Global $first,$second,$third,$fourth

$first = 100

$second = 125

$third = $first + $second

$fourth = 1250

Local $res = $fourth % 2

MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @CRLF & ' $res' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Return:' & @CRLF &  $res) ;### Debug MSGBOX

ConsoleWrite("$fourth % 2" & $res)

If $second > $first Then

MsgBox(0,"Second is greater than First","Second is " & $second)

EndIf

MsgBox(0,"Result","$first + $second = " & $third)

3. Array

#include <String.au3>

$Source = BinaryToString(InetRead("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeH5iKfI8DY&list=PLNpExbvcyUkOJvgxtCPcKsuMTk9XwoWum"),1)

$FirstChunks = _StringBetween($Source,'content="','">')

For $a In $FirstChunks

ConsoleWrite($a & @CRLF)

Sleep(1000)

Next

Global $Array[10],$Variable

$Array[0] = 0

$Array[1] = 123

$Array[9] = "Finish"

$Array[19] = "Success"

For $a = 0 To 9

ConsoleWrite($Array[$a] & @CRLF)

Next

For $a = 0 To (UBound($Array) - 1)  ;9

ConsoleWrite($Array[$a] & @CRLF)

Next

For $a In $Array

ConsoleWrite($a & @CRLF)

Next

4. InputBox

Global $name

$name = InputBox("SignUp - User Info","Enter your name")

MsgBox(0,"Registered User Info","Thank you for typing name into system and your username is " & $name)

5. If-Else

Global $buttonPressed

MsgBox(0,"You have selected","You have pressed YES button!")

ElseIf $buttonPressed = 7 Then

MsgBox(0,"You have selected","You have pressed NO button!")

EndIf

6. Do-While and For loop

Global $first,$second,$third,$fourth

$first = 1

$second = 5

Do

MsgBox(0,"Text",$first)

$first += 1

Until $first = 5

While $first <> 5

MsgBox(0,"Text",$first)

$first += 1

WEnd

For $a = 1 To 10  ;Step + 1

MsgBox(0,"Number",$a)

Next

For $a = $first To $second   ;Step + 1

MsgBox(0,"Number",$a)

Next

7. HotKey Set

HotKeySet('h','HotKey1')

HotKeySet('p','HotKey2')

HotKeySet('x','ExitProgram')

While 1

Sleep(50)

WEnd

Func HotKey1()

ConsoleWrite("The Hotkey was presseed.!" & @CRLF)

EndFunc

Func HotKey2()

MsgBox(0,"This hotkey worked","This hotkey was pressed")

Run('notepad.exe')

EndFunc

Func ExitProgram()

Exit

EndFunc
