FSMudf is a sub-UDF of FAMudf, Fast Array Management Functions UDF. FAMudf is needed to use FSMudf. Note that FAMudf.7z is updated with new SQLite display functions that are required to run examples. FASudf, Fast Array Sorting and Management Functions UDF is needed to run examples (Resources\CreateDBs.au3). Installing SQLite Navigate to Precompiled Binaries for Windows and download the three zip-files. Extract sqlite3.dll from sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3230100.zip and rename it to sqlite3_x64.dll Extract sqlite3.dll from sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3230100.zip Extract the 3 files in sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3230100.zip Copy all 5 files to C:\Windows\System32 Copy sqlite3.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 FSMudf This is the list of functions as shown in Includes\SQLiteFuncs.au3: ; Functions\Initialization.au3 ; ---------------------------- ; FSM_SQLiteFuncsInitDll Load compiled code from C++ DLL file ; Functions\SQLiteFuncs.au3 ; ---------------------------- ; _SQLite_Get_TableA Passes out the results from a SQL query as a 1D/2D array, ANSI version ; _SQLite_Get_TableW Passes out the results from a SQL query as a 1D/2D array, WCHAR (Unicode) version ; _SQLite_Get_TableWEx Passes out the results from a SQL query as a 1D/2D array, WCHAR (Unicode) version ; Optimized C++ code #include-once #include "Functions\Initialization.au3" #include "Functions\SQLiteFuncs.au3" The main code is based on sqlite3_get_table. sqlite3_get_table extracts all elements from the data source at once and inserts the elements in a C-array as strings (more precisely as pointers to zero-terminated UTF-8 strings). The three _SQLite_Get_Table* functions extracts data from the C-array and stores data in native AutoIt arrays. Note that sqlite3_get_table can use a lot of memory for large data sources because all data elements are stored in the C-array. NULL-values are stored as "NULL" in result arrays. Since sqlite3_get_table treats all data as strings, BLOB-data should be excluded. Both _SQLite_Get_TableA and _SQLite_Get_TableWEx are copied and updated from this post in Accessing AutoIt Variables. The most interesting function is _SQLite_Get_TableWEx which is optimized with C++ code. _SQLite_Get_TableWEx ; Passes out the results from a SQL query as a 1D/2D array, WCHAR (Unicode) version, optimized C++ code Func _SQLite_Get_TableWEx( _ $hDB, _ ; An open database $sSQL, _ ; SQL to be executed ByRef $aResult, _ ; Results of the query ByRef $iRows, _ ; Number of result rows ByRef $iCols, _ ; Number of result columns $bNames = True ) ; Include column names If Not FSM_SQLiteFuncsInitDll( "IsFSM_SQLiteFuncsInitDll" ) Then Return SetError(3,0,0) Local $pResult, $iRet = sqlite3_get_table( $hDB, $sSQL, $pResult, $iRows, $iCols ), $pResult0 = $pResult If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, $iRet) $iRows += $bNames If Not $bNames Then $pResult += $iCols * ( @AutoItX64 ? 8 : 4 ) ; Pass data to method Local $aData = [ $pResult, $iRows, $iCols ] FAM_PassDataToMethod( 0, $aData ) ; Execute method $aResult = "" AccArrays01( _SQLite_Get_TableWEx_Mtd, $aResult ) sqlite3_free_table( $pResult0 ) EndFunc ; Record the complete query results from one or more queries as a C-array Func sqlite3_get_table( _ $hDB, _ ; An open database $sSQL, _ ; SQL to be executed ByRef $pResult, _ ; Results of the query ByRef $iRows, _ ; Number of result rows ByRef $iCols ) ; Number of result columns If __SQLite_hChk($hDB, 2) Then Return SetError(@error, 0, $SQLITE_MISUSE) Local $tSQL8 = __SQLite_StringToUtf8Struct($sSQL) If @error Then Return SetError(3, @error, 0) Local $avRval = DllCall($__g_hDll_SQLite, "int:cdecl", "sqlite3_get_table", _ "ptr", $hDB, _ ; An open database "struct*", $tSQL8, _ ; SQL to be executed "ptr*", 0, _ ; Results of the query "int*", 0, _ ; Number of result rows "int*", 0, _ ; Number of result columns "long*", 0) ; Error msg written here If @error Then Return SetError(1, @error, $SQLITE_MISUSE) ; DllCall error $pResult = $avRval[3] $iRows = $avRval[4] $iCols = $avRval[5] EndFunc Func _SQLite_Get_TableWEx_Mtd( $pvResult ) ; Get data Local $aData FAM_PassDataToMethod( 1, $aData ) Local $pResult = $aData[0], $iRows = $aData[1], $iCols = $aData[2] ; Create SAFEARRAYBOUND structure for one or two dimensions Local $tSafeArrayBound = DllStructCreate( $tagSAFEARRAYBOUND & ( $iCols > 1 ? $tagSAFEARRAYBOUND : "" ) ) If $iCols > 1 Then DllStructSetData( $tSafeArrayBound, 1, $iCols ) ; Dimension 2: Elements DllStructSetData( $tSafeArrayBound, $iCols>1?3:1, $iRows ) ; Dimension 1: Elements ; Create safearray of BSTRs for one or two dimensions Local $pSafeArray = SafeArrayCreate( $VT_BSTR, $iCols > 1 ? 2 : 1, $tSafeArrayBound ) ; Pointer to data Local $pSafeArrayData SafeArrayAccessData( $pSafeArray, $pSafeArrayData ) ; Fill safearray DllCall( FSM_SQLiteFuncsInitDll(), "int", "GetTableW", "int", $iRows * $iCols, "ptr", $pResult, "ptr", $pSafeArrayData ) SafeArrayUnaccessData( $pSafeArray ) ; --- Set $pvResult to match an array --- ; Set vt element to $VT_ARRAY + $VT_BSTR DllStructSetData( DllStructCreate( "word", $pvResult ), 1, $VT_ARRAY + $VT_BSTR ) ; Set data element to safearray pointer DllStructSetData( DllStructCreate( "ptr", $pvResult + 8 ), 1, $pSafeArray ) ; <<<< On function exit the safearray contained in a variant is converted to a native AutoIt array >>>> EndFunc SQLiteFuncs.cpp #include <Windows.h> #include <OleAuto.h> int __stdcall GetTableW( int iElements, char **pResult, BSTR *pSafeArrayData ) { int iCharSize; for ( int i = 0; i < iElements; i++ ) { if ( pResult[i] == NULL ) { pSafeArrayData[i] = SysAllocString( L"NULL" ); continue; } iCharSize = MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8, 0, pResult[i], -1, NULL, 0 ); pSafeArrayData[i] = SysAllocStringLen( NULL, iCharSize ); MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8, 0, pResult[i], -1, pSafeArrayData[i], iCharSize ); } return 0; } Create DBs Run CreateDBs.au3 in Resources\ to create test databases. A table is created from an input array of random data generated with FASudf. The database tables contains from 10,000 - 2,000,000 rows and 7 columns. The column data types are integers, strings, integers, floats, dates (integers), times (integers) and row/col (strings). Inserting rows in the tables is implemented through bulk insertions to improve performance. This is a picture of a running CreateDBs.au3: The green bar is a progress bar.

Code sections like this were used to create sorting indexes: ; Sort by dates and times ascending _SQLite_Exec( -1, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DTIndexAsc AS SELECT Mytable.RowId AS RowIndex FROM MyTable ORDER BY Dates,Times;" ) _SQLite_GetTable( -1, "SELECT RowIndex FROM DTIndexAsc;", $aIndex, $iRows, $iColumns ) Local $aDTIndexAsc[$iRows] For $i = 0 To $iRows - 1 $aDTIndexAsc[$i] = $aIndex[$i+2] + 0 Next ; Sort by dates and times descending _SQLite_Exec( -1, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DTIndexDesc AS SELECT Mytable.RowId AS RowIndex FROM MyTable ORDER BY Dates DESC,Times DESC;" ) _SQLite_GetTable( -1, "SELECT RowIndex FROM DTIndexDesc;", $aIndex, $iRows, $iColumns ) Local $aDTIndexDesc[$iRows] For $i = 0 To $iRows - 1 $aDTIndexDesc[$i] = $aIndex[$i+2] + 0 Next The function _SQLite_GetTable (in SQLite.au3) is used to extract the index from the database as a 1D array. _SQLite_GetTable executes quite a lot of code and is not fast if there are more than 100,000 rows in the index. That's a problem for the SQLite display functions that are designed to be fast functions. The problem can be solved by using _SQLite_Get_TableWEx to extract the index. The runtime measurements below compares _SQLite_GetTable and _SQLite_Get_TableWEx when they are used to extract the indexes in "DataDisplay\Examples\SQLiteDisplay\1) Single features\SortByCols.au3" in SQLite display functions. _SQLite_Get_TableWEx is 40 - 70 times faster than _SQLite_GetTable for 100,000 and more rows.

Automate all windows and browser applications with one UDF function library. Based on the microsoft automation API this library high level supports Recognition of conttrols from EDGE, Chrome, FF, Opera, Safari and Windows native apps Small testing framework to split object repository from coding away Introduction Quickstart - Getting started quickly Simple scripts With this module you can automate all applications/programs that support ui automation and/or accesibility api from microsoft you can recognize more controls than AutoIT can recognize "out of the box" you can use concepts from other testing frameworks like http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/doc/ldtp-tutorial.pdf http://safsdev.sourceforge.net/Default.htm coded ui testing from microsoft Some of those controls / applications are chrome browser (partly mainwindow has to be done with MSAA for navigating) chrome://accessibility in the adress bar of chrome or start with "--force-renderer-accessibility" silverlight controls Ribbon control controlbars of Excel/Word IE and FF browsers Windows Media Player Windows clock AFX .. controls (partly) .... Based on the initial AIO Object I now have made the interface file to work with objCreateInterface function which is in the latest beta's automate clicking and querying basic information It gives you a lot of basic information to be able to automate clicking, querying basic information where it goes further in certain situations than AutoIt is identifying Starting threads for background on the ui automation api of microsoft (not for starters) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_UI_Automation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms747327.aspx Previous threads in general help/support Interface AutoItObject IUIAutomation ObjCreateInterface and struct tagPoint in method ElementFromPoint Be aware that API is not allways installed under XP/Vista see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971513 Within Windows 7 and Windows 8 it should be preinstalled by default. Be aware on 32 and 64 bits way of running your script #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y or N Basic example of usage / showing and retrieving the default information, will post multiple examples later Hover your mouse to an area of interest and press ctrl+w and information will be shown in the edit box of the form Simple spy demo (see simplespy.au3 or use latest ZIP attachment for latest version) Main features Recognize windows and html controls for the major browsers Logical and physical description for controls (UI mapping, Application map) Simple repository logic to abstract logical and physical descriptions Store Runtime Type Information in RTI. variables Rubberbanding/highlighting of objects Simple spy to help in making / identifying the physical description Support of regular expression(s) in identifying objects recognize objects on multiple properties supported properties: name ,title, automationid, classname, class, iaccessiblevalue, iaccessiblechildId, controltype, processid, acceleratorkey The actions provided so far "leftclick", "left", "click", "leftdoubleclick", "leftdouble", "doubleclick", _ "rightclick", "right", "rightdoubleclick", "rightdouble", _ "middleclick", "middle", "middledoubleclick", "middledouble", "mousemove", "movemouse" "setvalue","settextvalue" "setvalue using keys" "setValue using clipboard" "getvalue" "sendkeys", "enterstring", "type", "typetext" "invoke" "focus", "setfocus", "activate" "close" "move","setposition" "resize" "minimize", "maximize", "normal", "close", "exist", "exists" "searchcontext", "context" "highlight" "getobject","object" "attach" "capture","screenshot", "takescreenshot" "dump", "dumpthemall" "propertyvalue", "property" match on multiple properties like: name:=((Zoeken.*)|(Find.*)); ControlType:=Button; acceleratorkey:=Ctrl+F Support for 117 different properties see $UIA_propertiesSupportedArray in uiawrappers like for example title, regexptitle, class, regexpclass, iaccessiblevalue, iaccessiblechildid, name, accesskey, automationid, classname IAccessible, IAccessible2, ISimpleDom interfaces debuglogging to a file log.txt (no output in scitewindow) Examples Example 1 Iterating thru the different ways of representing the objects in the tree (#comment-1105548) Example 2 Finding the taskbar and clicking on the start menu button (#comment-1105680) Example 3 Clicking a litlle more and in the end displaying all items from the clock (thats not directly possible with AU3Info) (#comment-1108849) Example 4 that demonstrates the calculator Example 5 Automating chrome Example 6 Demonstrates all stuff within chrome to navigate html pages, find hyperlink, click hyperlink, find picture, click picture, enter data in inputbox Example 7 The chrome example modified to a firefox example Example 8 The other major browser Internet Explorer automated (made on Example 6 and 7) Example 9 Windows media player Example 10 Automating mach 3 (AFX windows and other hard to get recognized by AutoIT) Lot of links are broken due to forum upgrade just search for the text like "Example 11 Demonstrate Word, Notepad and Calculator actions" Example 11 Demonstrate Word, Notepad and Calculator actions ...

Here is "GUI Hyperlink control.zip" for download - I get it from my local copy: GUI Hyperlink control.zip

Oh for sure. It's working. Just wanted to test it first. It's kind of hacky cus it's not just AutoIt it uses JavaScript too. So basically it goes like this. Instead of actually using links (<a href="">) in the HTML, I'm wrapping the URLs in <span> tags, styled to look like links. When clicking on the <span>, they set a <div> element's innerText to the URL from the span. The AutoIt script is constantly monitoring the <div> tag for changes and when it detects a change, it reads the content and then ShellExecute's it.

Yeah I've done something like that before, but it won't work here. That's making a label look like a link and then just handling the notification, basically like a button or other notifying control. I can't think of a way to embed something like that within normal text. If I could somehow get the embedded browser to pass the notification of a clicked link back to the AutoIt script I could handle it like that... but.. I just came up with an idea actually.

You can't have hyphens in a variable name, otherwise you're going to get syntax errors, so change $ohp-select to $ohpselect Also the select option is actually hidden (id = "hp-authn-provider-select") and so you would need to test a, whether you can change the selection and if it has any effect on the "divs" above which are what you actually see on the page. Hope that makes sense.

This should be very fast version doing the same: $sFileText = FileRead('ToLine123.txt') $iStart = StringInStr($sFileText,@CRLF,1,704) $iEnd = StringInStr($sFileText,@CRLF,1,739) If $iStart > 0 And $iEnd > 0 Then $sFileLines1 = StringLeft($sFileText, $iStart-1) $sFileLines2 = '' For $i = 1 To 36 ; 739-704+1 $sFileLines2 &= @CRLF Next $sFileLines3 = StringMid($sFileText, $iEnd+1) FileDelete('ToLine123.txt') FileWrite('ToLine123.txt', $sFileLines1 & $sFileLines2 & $sFileLines3) EndIf EDIT: And this should be even faster $sFileText = FileRead('ToLine123.txt') $iStart = StringInStr($sFileText,@CRLF,1,704) ;~ $iEnd = StringInStr($sFileText,@CRLF,1,739) If $iStart > 0 Then $iEnd = StringInStr($sFileText,@CRLF,1,35,$iStart+1) ; 35=739-704 If $iEnd > 0 Then $sFileLines1 = StringLeft($sFileText, $iStart-1) $sFileLines2 = '' For $i = 1 To 36 ; 739-704+1 $sFileLines2 &= @CRLF Next $sFileLines3 = StringMid($sFileText, $iEnd+1) FileDelete('ToLine123.txt') FileWrite('ToLine123.txt', $sFileLines1 & $sFileLines2 & $sFileLines3) EndIf EndIf

In your case, your best bet would be to avoid the _FileWriteToLine function. Every time you call that function it re-reads the entire file to an array, replaces one line, then rewrites the file. Also, if you're just filling multiple consecutive lines with blanks you could use a for-loop. I would suggest this: Read the file with FileReadToArray. For loop 704 to 739, replacing array items with blanks. Write the array to file using _FileWriteFromArray (as BrewMan suggested). Something like the following: $aFileLines = FileReadToArray('ToLine123.txt') For $i = 704 To 739 $aFileLines[$i] = '' Next _FileWriteFromArray('ToLine123.txt', $aFileLines) That's untested, and you would want to add error checking, but it should give you an idea where to start.

Why not put all the text into an array, then use _FileWriteFromArray? You can declare your array sized to how ever many lines you're going to need, and then just set the elements with the values you're using.

Thanks @AdamUL and @therks. Both ways worked for me.

I don't think there is a direct way to do that in autoit but it is a 32-bit data struct no matter what the function it is passed to treats it as so DllStructCreate("ULONG") would work DllStructCreate("USHORT;USHORT") or even DllStructCreate("BYTE;BYTE;BYTE;BYTE") whatever you pass it to isn't going to care but for you the first will probably be the easiest since to set or retrieve the data it has to be done as a chunk Local $bVirtualizationCandidate, $bVirtualizationEnabled, $bVirtualSource Local $aBits = [1,2,4,8,16] Local $tData = DllStructCreate("ULONG") Somecallthat_changes($tData) $iVal = DllStructGetData($tData, 1) If BitAnd($iVal, $aBits[0]) Then $bVirtualizationCandidate = True If BitAnd($iVal, $aBits[1]) Then $bVirtualizationEnabled = True If BitAnd($iVal, $aBits[4]) Then $bVirtualSource = True ConsoleWrite("$bVirtualizationCandidate = " & ($bVirtualizationCandidate ? "True" : "False") & _ " $bVirtualizationEnabled = " & ($bVirtualizationEnabled ? "True" : "False") & _ " $bVirtualSource = " & ($bVirtualSource ? "True" : "False") &@CRLF) Func SomeCallthat_changes(Byref $tD) Local $iVal = BitOR($aBits[0],$aBits[4]) DllStructsetData($tD, 1, $iVal) EndFunc You don't necessarily need $aBits[] but it makes it easier to grok Also pay attention to the Endian

What about: #include <IE.au3> Local $oIENew = _IEAttach("https://www.net-inspect.com/AssignWorkflowToDocuments.aspx?b=a2dRm8Epis60nDimF7TNCMPpKxv%2bPGUH4YsewhvFKNU%3d","url") Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIENew, "input") For $oInput In $oInputs If $oInput.Name = "chkAction" And $oInput.value = "Delete" Then $oInput.Checked = True ExitLoop EndIf Next

you may be able to work with this and adapt it.
