Now I have no idea how to make any language or do any programing at all.
The thing is I need a language/program/thing where I can write simple stuff like:
Type: lsflklsfjljkfs
Press: Enter
Press: F6

and maybe even telling the mouse to move to a certain location and pressing click
Also one other thing where it will type some variable from another file.
So type: $thinglol
And it gets that from another file and types it on the keyboard. This is so I can change that without changing an entire script.

Would it be easy to create my own language to do something like that? It's not like I'm creating a complex program that needs memory and such. I just need to get simple instructions out of my brain and I can't find a macro program that is good enough. I haven't found anything that supports the variable thing.

I don't recommend starting here, but if that's all you want to do try this link on for size.

Creating your own language is always difficult, especially if you have no programming experience.

Hey thanks BlaineSch!
Yeah I really shouldn't be asking this question with no clue how programing languages work, I just thought it would be easy to write some language simply for keyboard entries. Something like that hehe.

I'm checking out the AutoIt link you gave me.
