Append to text file v.4
Posted under Lifehacks
I remember reading a suggestion recently that you should launch a new notepad document every day and keep it running in the background all day for notetaking. I have been using this for a month or so, jotting down thoughts, relevant computations, code and the like. A new combination between a freeware utility called Autohotkey and the script mentioned below makes it a simple key-click to add notes to your ever present text file. I just gave it a try and it works like a charm.

Okay, just when I think this can’t go any farther, reader samwyse sends me an AutoHotKey script that appends to a scratch file without using either ActiveWords, or the funky Windows system path thingy. The only requirement to running this is that you’ve got to have AutoHotKey installed (it’s free) on your system. Once that’s done, grab this script and save it somewhere (the C:\scratch directory is a good place). Double click the script to run it (stick it in the startup folder to ensure you never have to remember to double click it again).

We, i.e. ActiveWords, do a whole lot more than this.
Look at our various agents for example when you have time. http://www.activewords.com/plusapplications.html
