XMLRoot dynamic variable is blank in XA.ahk about cl3 HOT 3 CLOSED

The changes made in v1.98 (same for v1.99) seem to have fixed this issue. Thank you very much for the near immediate fix!

I've had it happen a few times, but often it was because my computer crashed or when forced it to turn off (power button) which resulted in empty XML files as the script didn't have enough time to try and save the data it seems.

So if it happens again, have a look at the various XML files in your editor (or notepad), one or more of these are probably empty, by which I mean the files are there but there are no XML tags present (so just a bunch of spaces nothing else). If you delete these empty files and restart CL3 it should startup again. Simply deleting all XML files also works. You don't need to "reinstall" CL3 as such, the script works, it is just the data files are somehow corrupted.

stats.xml
ClipData\AutoReplace\AutoReplace.xml
ClipData\ClipChain\ClipChain.xml
ClipData\History\History.xml
ClipData\Slots\Slots.xml

I'll try and see if I can add a check for "empty" XML files, and if so, recreate an empty one. It does mean some data might be lost. I'll think about a "backup" routine as well as that might be useful to "return to last know working state". Might take a little while.

Didn't seem to complicated, so you can try v1.98 https://github.com/hi5/CL3 - if there is a problem with one of the XML files it should show a warning, delete the (corrupted?) XML file and start a new XML file (object in the script)
