Actually thanks, But I just figured it out, I wanted to make the action part of the script happen when the click is let up, and not on the down press. Thanks for coming to see my problem though.

AutoIt Version: 3.3.8.1 Author: RiCK Desc: A program to lock & unlock Left or Right mouse buttons on 1 second long clicks. (Please See Attached File) UPDATE: Solved; Thanks! ~RiCK

Basically I just need my program to open up a txt file with notepad, when I click the button for it. I read using ShellExecute was the way to go about it, but maybe there is an alternative method to do this? My button code is fine, i just need the one line to open the file in notepad like this: ShellExecute("MyTextFile.txt", "", @ScriptDir)

Yes that native function, because when I call it, it says Function Not Defined So I would like the code so I can define it. Thanks.

ShellExecute Runs an external program using the ShellExecute API. Can someone please post the ShellExecute code, its not in my old version, and i rather not upgrade right now, thanks.

Sorry but all these answers seem sloppy to me. It runs the program before closing the first one, which in some some cases will not be appropriate. I think there should be a RestartScript() function built in, so it can close the first instance of the program, wait til it is closed, and then load it again. Also this could be done with a Run command like, RunClose, RunWaitClose, or something like that.

I have a file which I will import to a variable, but this variable might be very long, and I would like to make it into pieces no longer than 400 char if it is over that. This is what I wrote, however I can't seem to get it quite right, it prints one line short, then the rest at 400, then another short one at the end. I want it to post 400 each time til it has less than 400 charsters to post then it will sho whatever is left on the last one. an excerpt of my code with the issue: $len = StringLen($QueueListFormated) $i = 0 $bufferlength = 400 While $len > 0 $i = $i + 1 If $len > $bufferlength Then $trim = $len - $bufferlength $value = StringTrimRight($QueueListFormated, $trim) _ArrayAdd($QueueList, $value) $QueueListFormated = StringTrimLeft($QueueListFormated, $bufferlength) Else $value = $QueueListFormated _ArrayAdd($QueueList, $value) $QueueListFormated = StringTrimLeft($QueueListFormated, $len) EndIf $len = StringLen($QueueListFormated) WEnd If someone can either help me fix up my code a lil, or offer me a better way to go about this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks to all!!

I tried with an without single quotes because i thought maybe it needed those, the Nomad used them in the example, so i was not sure if they are required or not. Either way though, it doesn't change anything, the result is still returned 0 which according to Nomad's comments mean there is some error while reading the memory? I tried reading the memory of other processes too, and still failed with a 0. I can find the address with CheatEngine, maybe i am using the wrong address, do I need a pointer, or offset? Maybe you can explain a lil about those if you know? Thanks

Yes i tried calling the variables as static and arrays, but when i used an array like [1] or [0] or [2] after the variable it gave me an error like $OpenProcess[1] $OpenProcess ^ERROR

I have read through his code many times, before even posting on this forum. I still seem to be at a standstill though. Always returns 0

Yes i have read that authors post many times, however he doesn't ever tell you how to use his script, he only says: "If you don't know how to use it, it's not for you" lol which is not very helpful at all!!! However I have already written 8 other programs with Autoit, so I'm not a complete imbecile. I have just never used the _MemoryRead function before. Also the memory i am trying to read IS NOT dynamic, i have closed the program, and rebooted, and reloaded it, and the memory is still using the same location, so i'm sure its a static location. But thanks for that suggestion.

Can someone tell me how to delete my Post, cuz it's gone way off topic now, and maybe I should start it over from scratch? Anyone agree or disagree with that? I don't want to get in trouble for making a mistake again.

OK point taken, I'm sorry you see me annoying, same could be said about you, however I'm just trying to be friendly, and get a lil help with some code. Not trying to cause a fight.
