How do I retrieve the filename of the current script in AutoHotkey?

Question

I would like to retrieve the filename of the currently running script in AutoHotkey and save it to a variable.

For example, if my script were named sample-script.ahk , I would like to display a message saying " The current script is sample-script.ahk ".

How do I retrieve the filename of the currently active script in AutoHotkey?

Answer 1

Use: A_ScriptName The filename of the current script, without its path, eg MyScript.ahk.

MsgBox, The current script is %A_ScriptName%
