Explanation: The Unicode character set includes a (large) number of already accented letters, like à, î, Õ, ç, etc, which have each been assigned one Unicode codepoint. Some languages use accented letters that aren't in the character set: to form these letters, the base letter is followed by one or more accent or modifiying letter. When such a string is displayed, the font renderer parses the codepoints including all diacritics and draws the whole thing as one letter. Unicode strings can adopt one of the several Normalization Form (see https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/ for gory details). In short, characters like letters can de decorated with a number of diacritics or modifying letters, like accents or strokes. An "all-in-one" character like Ñ can be represented in a string by either the single codepoint 0x00D1 in normalization form C or by the sequence 0x004E 0x0303 in form D, respectively E and the tilde accent. The idea of the above script is to transform the input string in normalization form D (decomposed characters) then use a regular expression to remove diacritics. You're then left with base letters only. Run this to see the decomposed form of the vietnamese string in question: Local $s = 'Nếu tôi là cậu thì sẽ biết mệt mỏi' Local $a = StringToASCIIArray(_UNF_Change($s, $UNF_NormD)) For $i = 0 To UBound($a) - 1 $a[$i] = StringFormat("0x%04X", $a[$i]) Next _ArrayDisplay($a) There diacritics are codepoints in the range 0x0300..0x036F. You can display fancy letters by appending diacritics to a letter, even if that combination is not used on Earth: this is a small latin letter "o" with "combining candrabindu", a "combining long solidus overlay" and a "combined ring below". I bet this glyph isn't in use. I formed it with "o" & ChrW(0x310) & ChrW(0x325) & ChrW(0x338). How it looks depend on deep details of the font renderer. The thing below can be selected only as one unit despite being an uninterruptible sequence of 4 Unicode codepoints. o̸̥̐ Hope this sheds some light on what's under the hood.

Hmm, the code does not work here, because of the missing include. (client_list.au3) I saw your question in the other thread ... this is how you can get lines from a textfield (one by one): #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 396, 437, 192, 124) $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 12, 11, 291, 400) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 319, 18, 57, 28) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 $tmp=_GUICtrlEdit_GetLineCount($Edit1) CW("***********") For $x=0 to $tmp-1 $line=_GUICtrlEdit_GetLine($Edit1,$x) Cw($line) Next EndSwitch WEnd Func CW($txt) ConsoleWrite ($txt & @CRLF) EndFunc

I was looking for a way to embed Windows Media Player into Autoit. I found 2 Windows Media Player UDF's but both of them seem to have used the OCX directly. The problem with using the OCX directly is that the video display size cannot be changed, and it takes the size of the video inherently. @seangriffin created the VLC GUI based on embedding the IE object into the GUI and that seems to work perfectly with Windows Media Player as well and it does not give the resize problem. I built the WMP.au3 around this concept and would like to share it with everybody. Attached is the WMP.au3 and the WMP_Example.au3 where it is used. Feedback is appreciated. This is my first UDF, so please be kind. SudeepJD WMP_Example.au3 WMP.au3

Don't worry i don't like drama, thanks for the explanation! Probably obvious enough that i should've figured it out myself but i'm sleep deprived half of the time

@WhaleJesus, congratulations on being credited with your third solution in just as many discussions!

Note I updated my example with my hacked version of ___FileListToArrayRec() In this I added If $sName = ".." Then ContinueLoop EndIf If $sName = "."

@workdir can change but @ScriptDir will not change so just use that as your current code isn't saving it properly.

@WhaleJesusThat would definitely explain why IniWrite "isn't working". 😄

Some operations change the WorkingDir, but the macro @ScriptDir remains as it is.

Loc, That sounds as if an internal array is exactly what you need. You say that it "is working directly on the GUI" - does that mean that you click on the label to change the colour? If so then all you need to do is to check the current state and advance it to the next one. I have to take my grandchildren to "cantajuegos" (songs and dances for small children) in a few minutes, but I will try and produce something to show you how I think you might proceed later this evening.

In the code snippet here near bottom of your code: Local $pText1, $oText1 $oWindow1.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition2, $pText1 ) $oText1 = ObjCreateInterface( $pText1, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oText1 ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oText1 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oText1 OK" & @CRLF ) I just think you should replace $oWindow1 with $oStatusBar1 this way: Local $pText1, $oText1 $oStatusBar1.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition2, $pText1 ) $oText1 = ObjCreateInterface( $pText1, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oText1 ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oText1 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oText1 OK" & @CRLF )

You could use a logging UDF like Loga. It allows two ways: it print its debug messages into the console, but at the same time into a logfile. Which you could open and watch on your 2nd monitor, preferrably using a tool which constantly displays new lines of the file. I think LogExpert should do the job (untested) it allows to have its own outpout windows, see example 09 of the udf.

There. The OP did not login yet. Vote for me, "argumentum for moderator 2021". I'd close these type of thread because I'm mean and ... meh. PS: I would not like to be a moderator. I'd kill'em all. PS2: A big thank you to the moderation team. I would live with heartburn doing your job.

To the contrary. Decomposing composed characters is a complex but formal process obeying strict rules.The reverse process: transforming form D to form C is symetric so you can round trip from form C to form D to form C verbatim. Whatever combination of diacritics you add to "A", the base letter still remains "A". "À" (a precomposed Unicode character) decomposes to "A" followed by "`" (grave accent). Hence there is nothing arbitrary there. Other normalization forms (those with a K) operate on compatibility [de]composition while those without K are based on canonical (strict) equivalence. Compatibility means that things are not always reversible in all cases. For instance the fraction character ¼ is compatibity-decomposed into the ASCII 1/4.

The script ends immediately right after the start ( before you can press F2). You will need e.g. a main loop.

SimpleSnippetManager needs only the ini in the exe's folder. The location of the needed folders are defined there. This is the example of my SimpleSnippetManager.ini: [language] 00=BlitzBasic 01=D:\BB3D\IDEal\Snippets\ 02=bb 10=AutoIt 11=D:\!myapps\Snippet\Snippets\ 12=au3 20=Sdlbas 21=D:\!myapps\Snippet\Snippets\ 22=Sdlbas 30=JavaScript 31=D:\!myapps\Snippet\Snippets\ 32=js This is how i added (just now) the manager to the SciteUser.properties, and it looks like it is running just fine # 39 Simple Snippet Manager command.name.39.*=SimpleSnippetManager command.39.*="D:\!myapps\Snippet\SimpleSnippetManagerX64.exe" command.save.before.39.*=2 command.subsystem.39.*=2 (the .* allows the tool to be shown in any window, and not only for autoIt files)

Imagining what V. would say to that

You don't have to. Just add directive #AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y Or, since I see no references to the Scite editor, you can just add the directive: #pragma compile(Console, True) to the top of your program.

You don't have to. Just add directive #AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y Compile your script, run from DOS console, there you go...
