Excellent! I'll try those out tomorrow at work, meanwhile, I realized that there's more to do to make it match the date.au3 functions, the year needs to be at the front, like this: "2007/10/22 16:00:03" Can regexp replace do that?

my goal is to change a date from this format: "10/22/2007 4:00:03 PM" to the conformist "10/22/2007 16:00:03" So, I've finally started to look into Regular Expressions, they're really cool, except when I can't get it to spit out what I want. $aHour = StringRegExp("10/22/2007 4:00:03 PM", "(?: \d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}\s)(\d{1,2})", 1) If IsArray($aHour) Then For $hour In $aHour ConsoleWrite("Hour: " & $hour & @LF) Next $aMeridiem = StringRegExp($file, "(?: \d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}\s\d{1,2}\:\d{1,2}\:\d{2}\s)([AM|PM]{2,2})", 1) If IsArray($aMeridiem) Then For $Meridiem In $aMeridiem ConsoleWrite("Meridiem: " & $Meridiem & @LF) Next If $Meridiem = "PM" Then $hour += 12 If $hour > 24 Then $24hour -= 24 ConsoleWrite("24 hour : " & $24hour & @LF) ConsoleWrite("24HR time: " & $lastupdated & @LF) $lastupdated = StringRegExpReplace($lastupdated, "(\s[AM|PM]{2,2})", "") ; here's the problem, the hour doesn't get replaced by the 24 hour: $lastupdated = StringRegExpReplace($lastupdated, "(\d{1-2})(?: \:\d{1-2}\:\d{2,2})", $24hour) ConsoleWrite("error: " & @error & " extended: " & @extended & @LF) ConsoleWrite("24HR time: " & $lastupdated & @LF) EndIf EndIf EndIf Here's the deal, I want to download a html file, parse the text for the time, and then, if it's more than 5 minutes old, do a refresh. I know there's probably some easier way to do it, some utility or something, but I've taken this as a lesson with RegExp. the place where I'm having an issue is with the second StringRegExpReplace, I can't seem to get it right. Thanks for any help!

What's up Larry? You ever finish that house up and sell it?

I was looking for something else, one idea that might help is putting some delay between the presses, make it something like a humanly possible speed. Another idea would be to shift down, sleep 20 shift up sleep 100 something like that.

Dude. JdeB to the rescue again! Thanks man. Works perfectly, don't know why I didn't think of that, I'm using similar logic in other parts of the script...

I've got a window that I want to make transparent whenever it's not active, ala: CODE if not WinActive("Display Flipper") Then WinSetTrans("Display Flipper", "", round(.50 * 255)) Else WinSetTrans("Display Flipper", "", 255) EndIf However, this makes the worst flicker on the GUI ever when the window is Active as it's transparency is being set to 255 at a rapid pace. I'd prefer to have it check if it's not transparent, then if it is, make it non-transparent. Is there any way to get a window's transparency?

sO, JdeB, long time no chat... How would I get the return of the copy? So I know if it's been successful or not?

Sweet! Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I'm writing a simple little backup utility to help out the receptionist and massage therepist here at work, and want to show a progress bar during a dircopy. Is it possible? Would I have to do a comspec xcopy and do a while loop meaningless progress bar as the process runs? Anyone have any ideas?

Very cool! One thing I noticed in the die roller is that the results are off by one, so 3d6 returned 0,5,5. If you set random's minimum range to 1 and max to the die's size that should do it.

I couldn't you do a stringsplit on @CR, @LF or @CRLF? Depending on what's in the clipboard... Are you here from themaxx?

That did the trick, thanks MHz! I think I'll be around more often as I take a more blended approach to scripting and packaging apps...

FileInstall() just compresses files into your compiled AutoIt script. Might not be what you need. A macro recorder won't be as good as just using the right command line for the install, if it's there... i.e. if it's an MSI install, just use: msiexec /i product.msi /qb-! ALLUSERS=1 and the like...
