Make your own version of the UDF. Problem solved.

badeend, The two UDF's that you are using require a file path as the first parameter, not a file handle. Some rudimentary error checking goes a long way toward solving these kinds of problems. Each function has clearly defined return codes in the Help file. This is one possible way to do what I think your code was attempting... #include <File.au3> #include <array.au3> Global $vReturn[3] _FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\test.csv", $vReturn, $FRTA_NOCOUNT, ";") ; 1ST parm is file path, not handle ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF) ; display return from function _arraydisplay($vReturn) ; display the array If IsArray($vReturn) Then MsgBox(0, "hoera!", "hoera!") EndIf _FileWriteFromArray(@scriptdir & "\output.txt", $vReturn, 0) ; array is 2d with 1 row and three columns ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF) ; display return from function ; Display the file. ShellExecute(@scriptdir & "\output.txt") ; file path, not handle for first parm This is the file I used for testing test.csv kylomas

ISN AutoIt Studio Version 0.99 BETA is now online! Happy testing! Changelog (translated by google translator): -> ISN AutoIt Studio: <- ----------------------------------- - Fix: Several bugfixes - Fix: When you close a project was produced in error under certain conditions the message that a file in the folder for temporary scripts. This is now fixed. - Bug fix: When using the DBUG tools were often not deleted some temp files. This is now fixed. - Fix: Several bugfixes for the new autocomplete (If -> endif, etc.) - Bugfix: veringert fibrillation the toolbar and the menu bar when switching tabs - Fix: Autocomplete detection improved - Fix: The path to the last open tabs will now be saved in the * .isn file with real tive paths. - Bugfix: syntax update for AutoIt version 3.3.14.1 - NEW: AutoIt3Wrapper, Tidy & Au3Stripper updated to newer versions. - NEW: The project file (project.isn) can now be named anything! (Extension * must .isn naturally preserved! In addition, the file must be in the root directory of the project!) - NEW: When creating a new project, the name can now also directly to the project file (* .isn) be specified. - NEW: "Edit -> Go to function (Ctrl + J)" can now jump directly to the function. (As in the script tree) - NEW: In the program settings under "Script Editor -> File Types" can now any file types are set to be automatically opened with the Script Editor, the ISN. - NEW: New Tag for macros:% myisndatadir% -> Points to the directory by the cache, settings, etc. are stored. (In portable mode is% myisndatadir% =ScriptDir) - NEW: There is now in the program settings the ability more paths for AU3 * api files & * .keywords.properties files indicate... (File Locations -> API files) - NEW: The alphabetical sorting of functions in the script tree can now be disabled. (In the script tree characteristics) - NEW: New macro: Start script -> Starts an AutoIt script in ISN AutoIt Studio (similar to the script function test) -> ISN form Studio 2: <- ----------------------------------- - Fix: Several bugfixes - Bugfix: syntax update for AutoIt version 3.3.14.1 - Fix: Fixed a bug in which was selected in the GUI properties automatically "text from func". - Bug fix: could ComboBoxes often difficult marked with the mouse. This is now fixed. - Fix: Some controls have simply disappeared again after copying. This is now fixed. - Fix: Fixed a bug by the entries could be changed anyway in a locked menu Control. - NEW: The Control Editor in form Studio 2 can now be folded up in the Control Editor or be restored by an icon to the right. (If it is sometimes requires more space quickly.) - NEW: In the GUI properties under "AutoIt code settings" can now be determined whether will be inserted in the script #include one should or not. - NEW: Settings such as "declaration of Handles" can now be obtained from the Global program settings form Studios. - NEW: It can now be selected as Style or States in the AutoIt code be adopted. Either as a variable (eg. $ BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON) or Magic Numer (as before). New default for this setting is the variant with variable. (Because the code is easier to read) The whole can be set in the GUI properties for each .isf or in the program settings Global. - NEW: In Control Editor under "representation" can now be specified with an icon (.ico) and the Index. (If the icon of a .dll is based) - NEW: The loading screen has now been transferred to the GUI of the form Studios. - NEW: It is now possible properties in the Control Editor to change when multiple controls are selected. These are then applied to the Mark Controls.

Hi Folks, I'm a great fan of AutoIT. While trying to automate data entry into a java applet based ERP, I found that checking for entry error or success is quite a pain using pixelsearch. Instead, check for a data entry "success" or "failed" image is far simpler. This a feature found in AHK, I've cut out the necessary code and compiled it into a DLL, and written a au3 library around it. I've tested it in various XP and W2k3 machines, and it seems to work fine. It's a quick and dirty hack I did to get a job done, so your mileage may vary ImageSearch.zip (84K) Number of downloads:

Not sure if anyone else was ever looking for a way to get the DOM object of IE by the XPath, but i sure was. I Created this UDF... _IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes Still needs some work, here are the limitations: Solved: 1) no distinction between // and /, all are handled as // ...Won't address, use syntax like #3: 2) only able to search for Elements, can't end the xpath in an attribute, such as ...//@id='test' Solved: 3) When searching for only Elements with specific attributes, I'm only handling any number of condition, such as //test[@id="test2"] Solved: 4) use of contains() now 5) No use of strucutes, such as :Parent, or :Sibling 6) Solved * due to number 1, it's possible to return the same object mutliple times...that'll be the first correction Edit: This can still occur if using xpath provided leaves mutliple paths to the specific element...make xpath more specific to stop 7) No use of enumerated nodes...such as //test[4] 8) No use of <> when defining attributes //test[@id<>"test2"] So it's very simple, but returns an array of all objects matching the xpath provided...example xpaths to search for on the google home page: "//td[@id='gs_tti0']/div/input[@id='gbqfq']" this gives object of the search input #region SCITE_CallTipsForFunctions ;BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes($oIEObj, $sXPath, [$iMaxWait=2000]) Return array of objects on browser matching callers xpath #endregion SCITE_CallTipsForFunctions #include <ie.au3> #include <array.au3> #region GLOBALVariables Global $gbBGe_PerformConsoleWrites = True ;

Hello, I am a little confused why most of the Functions in Color.au3 use arrays to get color values ? I think its burden to create an array every time if you want something like a COLORREF value, Lets take _ColorSetCOLORREF as an example, I modified the function to take normal parameters instead of an array: Func _ColorSetCOLORREF($iRed, $iGreen, $iBlue, Const $_iCurrentExtended = @extended) Local $aColor[3] = [$iRed, $iGreen, $iBlue] ; Replaced the array check with an array declaration Local $iColor = 0, $iColorI For $i = 2 To 0 Step -1 $iColor = BitShift($iColor, -8) $iColorI = $aColor[$i] If $iColorI < 0 Or $iColorI > 255 Then Return SetError(2, $i, -1) ; invalid color value $iColor += $iColorI Next Return SetExtended($_iCurrentExtended, $iColor) EndFunc ;==>_ColorSetCOLORREFIt works fine & the array gets deleted when the function returns, so a Win-Win for me... Is there any special reason about accepting an array instead of individual parameters ? Thanks in Advance, TD

User751139, Delighted I could help - but my wife insists that a simple "thanks" would have sufficed. M23

You are welcome. My friend.

This should give you the idea: $str = '"One of the holiday is sunday for this week." ... and today is not sunDay (but I love Sundays even if today is not sunday!)' $s = "SuNDay" ConsoleWrite($str & @LF) $res = StringRegExpReplace($str, '".*?"', "") ; removes anything inside pair of double quotes ConsoleWrite($res & @LF) $res = StringRegExpReplace($res, '(?i)\b' & $s & '(?![[:alnum:]])', '###') ; replaces $s by ### ConsoleWrite($res & @LF)You can use this site to play with Perl (PCRE) regexp.

I agree, the array parameter is weird. And furthermore, so is the undocumented good for nothing optional parameter.

Processing speed depends on the encryption algorithm you use. Check the _Crypt* functions for encrypting a file.

@TheDcoder, maybe you shouldn't keep color components in separate variables. =) How did you even end up with them as 3 separate values? TRWTF is lack of inline array declaration. But. Nothing that can't be solved with a little helper method. #include <Color.au3> Local $red = 0xFF, $green = 0x00, $blue = 0xFF _ColorSetCOLORREF(Color($red, $green, $blue)) Func Color($red, $green, $blue) Local $ret[3] = [$red, $green, $blue] Return $ret EndFuncCall it Color. RGB. Maybe even C or A. Whatever.

Done.

Just came across this library on GitHub and just thought how awesome it was that I had to tell the community. PHPJS: https://github.com/kvz/phpjs

HEADS UP! Windows 10 RTM returns 6.3, not 10.0 as expected. Microsoft, for their own reasons, chose to cripple this entry in the registry. do NOT use this function for Windows 10. instead, an alternative method was suggested by all-mighty KaFu here: EDIT: the rest of the said registry branch still contains relevant information. it seems that only the CurrentVersion value is crippled.

Fair enough.

http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html

OK #Include <Array.au3> $source = BinaryToString(InetRead("http://www.hearthhead.com/card=374/ragnaros-the-firelord")) $res = StringRegExp($source, '(?s)^|(?:cardsoundlink.*?<i>([^<]+))+', 3) $res[0] = StringRegExpReplace($source, '(?s).*?<title>(.*?)\h*-\h*Card.*', "$1") _ArrayDisplay($res)Using ^| in the first regex is a way to ensure that index [0] in the resulting array $res is set aside and empty Then this $res[0] is filled with the result of the SREReplace The srer is easy to understand : "keep all chars (lazy) after the first '<title>' found, up to a sequence 'space(s)-hyphen-space(s)-Card' "

Well if you're busy then my advice is wait until you're not.The forum shouldn't be a substitute for asking questions simply because of laziness or being "busy". Use it as a tool and don't abuse it. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and will often help if someone shows effort in the subject they're stuck on. You're only asking questions and I have yet to see any physical evidence of what that effort has led you to. If you want me to write a tutorial, then at least be honest. If you do, then I would expect some code in return.

"Send" keystrokes worked into XP CMD windows, but injecting keystrokes into console apps is now blocked by Microsoft, and has been since 2008R2: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2009/10/05/windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2-console-host.aspx This was a nasty shock for me when I developed a large testing app in XP and it did not work in the 2008R2 deployment environment. However, I found that you can redirect input. My particular use cases required specific, predictable keystrokes to start command line apps and provide command line inputs, so I created text files and started my CMD windows with the input redirected from the text file. This works fine but you have to know the entire input session from beginning to end for this to work, as you can't modify the input files once the session has begun. If you want to start a CMD and inject commands on-the-fly, then you will have to do something tricky, such as start a CMD window with a BAT file that checks another BAT file at intervals, and executes the commands in there.

The easiest way is to show the hidden window, capture it and then hide again.

Although I agree with guinness that nothing broadens one's programming perspective more than engaging with a new language, there's also plenty of scope for developing "advanced" programming skills within pure AutoIt. A few suggestions: Study the various AutoIt games people have posted. Figure out how the algorithms subdivide into regions that handle work environment (e.g., moving sprites, collision physics, sounds), user events, and artifcial intelligence). Then build your own 2D platformer.Hook up the irrlicht 3D rendering engine. play with over one hundred examples, then write your own 3D graphics animation. Not challenging enough? Make it real-time user-interactive. Check out the irrlicht tutorials too.Figure out how scripts might communicate with each other when running on the same machine. How about on different machines on the same (W)LAN network? How about halfway across the world? Instead of sending TCP packets with triple handshake, can you use UDP streaming instead? How about encryption to protect the content?Turn your laptop into a burglar alarm; whenever a sound is detected it starts recording video and audio, and sends an email or SMS to your mobile that someone may be in your roomLike music? Get the BASS environment, and mabe develop your own audio visualisation like this one, or explore MIDI , maybe to control your own synthesizer or sequencer software. Check out czardas's various contributions that mix maths and music.Open the Help, and navigate to _WinAPI Management or _WinAPIEx Reference, and study the different subtopics to check what might interest you. This is like looking under the hood of the Windows Operating System engine. Some of these functions are barely documented, yet some are very powerful. Look them up on MSDN, and imagine how they could be used. Check out the many contributions by Ascend4nt; there's an entire universe of low-level features that beckon to be explored.The key ingredient here is motivation. You'll need tons of it, because when you're pushing yourself and your scripts beyond your comfort zone, you're going to spend a lot of time (months) just figuring out why the sections you copied from various other threads don't play nice together, let alone how your own code is going to work. So choose a topic you really like, or an application that you (and/or other people) really need, or that would save you loads of time, or one that is simply lacking and incredibly cool to look at, to listen to, to play with, or to share with your friends. So spend several days just exploring the Example Scripts forum to see what is out there. People have shared some amazing scripts on this site, so be inspired and learn from it (and always acknowledge your sources!) Start small. Don't expect your voice-activated 3D chess-playing supermodel simulation to be able to also control your coffee machine and answer your personal emails. Best of luck, be productive, and if it;s cool in any way, shape, or form, please share what you make.

Enum all the children of the Shell_TrayWnd class, store them in an array, hide them all, then return them all from the array when you're ready. Or you can cheat and hope this never fails: #include <WinAPI.au3> __myTaskHS(True) Sleep(3000) __myTaskHS(False) Func __myTaskHS($f_hide = False) Local $h_task = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]") If Not $h_task Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) Local $h_start = 0 Local $a_wlist = WinList("[CLASS:Button]") If Not IsArray($a_wlist) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) For $iwin = 1 To $a_wlist[0][0] If _WinAPI_GetParent($a_wlist[$iwin][1]) = $h_task Then $h_start = $a_wlist[$iwin][1] ExitLoop EndIf Next If Not $h_start Then Return SetError(3, 0, 0) If $f_hide Then _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h_start, @SW_HIDE) _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h_task, @SW_HIDE) Else _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h_start, @SW_SHOW) _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h_task, @SW_SHOW) EndIf EndFunc
