After watching this movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPiDHXtM0VA) I wanted to try the test to see how much i could compete with that chimpanzee so i created this script. well, actually passing that test is a lot harder than it sounds. With the difficulty set to seven numbers and a display time of one second, I can only remember 2 or 3 numbers ... (what a disappointment) I can only do better if I reduce the slider to 5 numbers and increase the storage time to 2 seconds (the easyest level), a very poor performance. That chimpanzee is great. The script offers you a sequence of 10 random quizzes. At the end it gives you the percentage of your "level". The chimpanzee resolves on average 8 out of 10 (80%), so you can compare your performance to that of the chimpanzee. How to play: Run the script. At the beginning there are 2 sliders at the bottom of the screen where you can set the difficulty level by varying the memorization time and the amount of numbers to memorize as you like. After setting the difficulty, click the circle on the bottom left to get started. after the first move the sliders are no longer displayed until the next game, (the game lasts 10 attempts, there is a progress bar at the bottom of the screen to see where you are) between one test and the other of the ten, click on the circle to move on to the next test have fun.

I think this is because text files don't have a file lock on them. You can edit and delete text files even when they are open in other applications. Try doing this with a different type of file, surely your final goal isn't to determine if a text file is open, right?

this brings a smile to my face. If you're attempting to automate google account creation then you're in for a hellofa uphill battle. I'd say for one its more than likely against their tos. The second issue becomes after you make a handful they will start making you verify with a phone number, that's a whole different can of worms. if this is your intention they have teams of people that do everything in their power to make this task as difficult as possible. I'm going to leave it at that bc i'm honestly shocked that this thread hasn't been shutdown already.

In this situation, you have to pass the attribute or property name using the proper case. The process is returning a Null because it can't find an attribute named "innerhtml". Change this to "innerHTML" and it should give you the desired result.

Ok, I gave into CRC32 pressure. Enjoy the addition. See first post for the v1.2 update download. Here's an alternate screenshot with the changes ... doing an individual check with the newly (optional) named CRC32 button. As you can see the Progress Bar area also gets re-purposed. Dates are also shown instead of sizes. I did some tests ... of course, and yes it seems that CRC32 is a bit faster. I got the following results with a (not shown) 3.7 Gb ISO file. Note that each result is for two files (source & compare), so divide by 2 to get how long it takes for one 3.7 Gb ISO file on my low powered PC. Using the AutoIt crypt hashing, the MD5 process clearly takes much longer. The CRC32 process with FSUM is marginally faster than its MD5 process. Of course, repeated tests with same file would show variations on all three I imagine.

Gawd, that means shortening the Progress Bar yet again ... already done that a few times. Or I could reduce the size of the font on some of the buttons as well.

So, you are saying it's beyond compare? 😆

Oops, you're right. I was considering sums of more than 2 modulii. It was late (3h30 AM).

I have a few users outside the network that need to run a locally installed sql client but need to connect to one of the network servers with the sql database. what I have done is attempt to automate the process to make it as seamless as possible for the end user. The script as is works fine but it means I have to touch the PC's to setup the initial VPN connection: Opt("TrayAutoPause",0) Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) $cmd = "c:\windows\notepad.exe" TrayTip("Connecting to Sql Server", "one moment...", 1,1) Sleep(2000) Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "rasdial MyVPNConnection myusername mypassword", @WindowsDir & "\System32",@SW_HIDE) Sleep(2000) Runwait($cmd) ; map drives or whatever.. TrayTip("Sql Session", "Finished", 1, 1) Sleep(1000) Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "rasdial /disconnect",@WindowsDir & "\System32", @SW_HIDE); Disconnect I replaced the original sql client app with notepad.exe for testing purposes, but drives may be mapped etc at that point or access to any of the resources on the network by IP address's (no netbios) here is what I have to setup the initial VPN connection: Send("#r") ClipPut("rasphone") Send("^v") WinWaitActive ( "Run", "" , 100 ) Send("{enter}") WinWaitActive ( "Network Connections", "" , 100 ) send("!N") WinWaitActive ( "New Connection Wizard", "" , 100) Send("!t") Send("!N") ;Sleep(300) Send("!D") Send("!N") ;Sleep(300) ClipPut("192.168.1.100") Send("^v") Send("!N") ;Sleep(300) ClipPut("MyVPNConnection") Send("^v") Send("{enter}") ControlClick("Network Connections", "", "", "center") Send("{Esc}") Question is: how can I determine if the VPN connection already exists? and if not to run the above and just carry on and connect. Is there an easier or more graceful way to create the VPN connection without running the wizard (it flashes dialogs) perhaps using rasphone -a (add entry) ? any ideas?
