doesnt seem to exist on Win 8.1 found on web

heh, that's pretty clever! another way to solve this is.. create copies of GUICtrlListView_SortItems(), _GUICtrlListView_RegisterSortCallBack() and __GUICtrlListView_Sort() and implement whatever you need! dirty, but its working thank you for your reply!

Things like... If $Aud=1 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\chimes.wav" If $Aud=2 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Error.wav" If $Aud=3 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Notify.wav" If $Aud=4 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Ding.wav" If $Aud=5 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows User Account Control.wav" If $Aud=6 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Balloon.wav" If $Aud=7 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Default.wav" If $Aud=8 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Exclamation.wav" If $Aud=9 Then $auSOUND=@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows Navigation Start.wav" You should use If,, elseIf Or a switch case block, otherwise you are making a lot of comparisons that are not needed.

Hello. Here is the WSAAsyncGetHostByName() function to use with timeout. I tried to make the function as easy as possible. Hope this now works for you.

$sPath = 'c:\\ Alo ha\Ciao \XinChao"\Hello' $aPath = stringsplit($sPath , "\" , 2) $sOut = $aPath[0] For $i = 1 to ubound($aPath) - 1 If stringlen($aPath[$i]) > 1 Then $sOut &= "\" & stringregexpreplace(stringstripws($aPath[$i] , 3) , '\\|\/|\:|\*|\?|\"|\<|\>|\||' , "") Next msgbox(0, '' , $sOut) If you want all the rules, i think you may have to bust it up first. At least until a regex wizard shows up. And I was just showing that your stringreplace that handled trailing spaces was unnecessary.

$sPath = 'c:\\ Aloha\Ciao \XinChao"\Hello' msgbox(0, '' , stringreplace(stringreplace(stringstripws($sPath , 8) , '"' , "") , "\\" , "\"))

More gently said : please post a runnable code

And again a new update is out. Please test... -> Also the () should work now. (Again only available via online update)
