ReRun - Run a program repeatedly on hotkey

[Boyce]

When a certain hotkey is pressed, ReRun asks you for a program and runs it. From then on, everytime this hotkey is pressed, the program is run again.

This is useful if you working to improve a script/ ahk file / batch file and need to test it repeatedly, or are needing to manually compile/deploy/run commands repeatedly. Using rerun is faster than finding the active window and clicking on a program to launch it.

Code: C++ [Select]

1. ; Change line 6 to a new hotkey: see http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#symbols
2.  
3. #NoEnv
4. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
5. §::
6. if program =
7.         FileSelectFile, program, 3, , Open a file, Programs (*.bat; *.com; *.exe)
8. if program <>  
9. {
10.         SplitPath, program ,, OutDir
11.         SetWorkingDir %OutDir%
12.         RunWait, %program%
13. }
14. return

Note: the default hotkey is §, which is handy if you have a mac uk keyboard, but annoying if you don't. So change the start of line 5.

Mod Note: though the poster turned out to be a spammer, the script might be of use to someone.
