So why not just have VBS call RoboCopy directly?

This project is NNNNN weeks LATE! our customers are going to be furious! LOL, nah, kidding, good job

That is no excuse so goes into the BS bucket! Try again and this time show something with some substance that clearly shows what you have tried and isn't working. On top of that you have to clearly tell us what it is your are trying to get done as "this is for learning purpose only" is already dumped into that same BS bucket! So try again and this time be absolutely clear.

Have you tried using the xpath ends-with() function? Here's a nice xpath cheat sheet with examples: https://devhints.io/xpath

Yes, if that's the case, ... then you got an upvote from me now, too. I was worried about Windows 7, but I just tested it successfully. So for Robocopy, there was no flashing of the CMD window on Win 7 and Win 10. I will now have VBScript call Robocopy directly, without AutoIt. I don't know if you can say that in English, "Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees!" Thanks for opening my eyes!

Nah, just the upvote

Why would the new thread know anything about the GUI controls? Doubt it does as it is a separate process, so you would have to use Controlxxx() functions like you would when automating a different program. \ Jos

Yes something like that

Is this for a typing class?

Did you open the helpfile and check out ALL the examples of the different loop option like For...Next, While...Wend etc? Jos

I was just jumping in to say, while I love to use AutoIT, when it aint broke don't fix it. Robocopy is perfect for this, as a server/backup admin I used it ALOT and you can easily implement it into a schedule task or other things.

You asking this question is the biggest risk as you clearly don't yet know what you are getting into!

I’m not so sure, he hasn’t been eating much lately

You can change global variable data or object and set new data or even better make a return if that is available. Note that your question is on wrong place, this is autoit help and support part of forum, not a javascript support . https://stackoverflow.com/a/7744623/1775164 Note that your calling innerHTML = arh; probably before data is fetched, so delite that line and put document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = header; right after header=xhttp.getAllResponseHeaders(); or use https://javascript.info/async-await
