UEZ...i could kiss you ...Thank you very much. It works now!

i tried on 2 machines...my server and my main machine. The problem isnt the checkbox themselves...those work its, its that when i check the box , the browse buttons should become active. The problem is that i have to check the box twice for it to enable the button. As i said, it happens only with Log tab or Fetching tab and only once from either. Once you do that, everything acts as intended even if you exit the options and go back in.

Alright here it is...i hope i didnt forget a UDF TRHelper.zip

Well still trying to figure out why i have this issue but still cant pin point it..

nobody?

indeed...but i posted another issue...i dont know if its related to Xskin or __buttonhoverTag but its the last problem i have and i think this script will be ready. i just cant figure it out

I just noticed that every time i start my script and then go into the option GUI, im forced to click twice on any of the checkboxes or the ok or cancel buttons before it execute the command. This only happens on the first time i enter the option GUI. Also, the option GUI has tabs(as you can see below) and on the first Tab everything works fine but on the 2 other tabs i have the problem. The Ok and cancel buttons are not part of any of the tabs.

I think this has to do with __ButtonhoverTag.au3 so i guess i can post over there

Worked great but what happens if i need it for when i want to hide the taskbar for only 1 gui. Let me explain. My program has 2 GUIs, one version is what i called Full GUI mode (which needs taskbar icon) and Compact mode GUI (that i dont want a taskbar icon) switching from one to the other is done via my options GUI which will call the appropriate GUI once its closed. So basically when compact mode is active = no Taskbar and Normal GUI active = Taskbar. Also another quick question, Everytime i go into my option GUI i have to click on any active button twice before i get a response. Once i do then all active buttons in my option gui will react normally even if i close and re-open the options GUI. This only happens the first time i go into the options GUI

Using theses 2 solutions seems to have fix my problem if IsArray($HasFiles) and StringRegExp($HasFiles[1], ".*(\.avi|\.mkv|\.mp4)\z") = 1 Then

Well what i need it for is to check for the first occurrence of a file with one of those 3 extensions and if its found run a program. Actually your method could work as well since if the answer is equal or greater then one then the statement is true. My issue now is that if there is nothing in the folder when this line executes $Hasfiles = _RecFileListToArray($tv_down,"*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv",1,1,0,0) i get a error.. Subscript used with non-Array variable.: here is the part of the script if Stringright($Hasfiles[1], 4) = ".mp4" or Stringright($Hasfiles[1], 4) = ".avi" or Stringright($Hasfiles[1], 4) = ".mkv" Then If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (1/9*100,0), Round (1/9*100,0) & '%',"Running TheRenamer TV") Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (1/9*100,0), Round (1/9*100,0) & '%',"Running TheRenamer TV") endif RunWait($fetchTV) If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (2/9*100,0), Round (2/9*100,0) & '%',"Finish TheRenamer TV") sleep(1000) Else sleep(1000) EndIf Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (2/9*100,0), Round (2/9*100,0) & '%',"Finish TheRenamer TV") sleep(1000) EndIf if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (2/9*100,0), Round (2/9*100,0) & '%',"Updating TV Logs") sleep(1000) Else sleep(1000) EndIf Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (2/9*100,0), Round (2/9*100,0) & '%',"Updating TV Logs") Sleep(1000) EndIf $file1 = FileRead($renamerlog) $file2 = FileOpen($tvlog,1) $file3 = FileRead($historylog) ;URL for following expression: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/133363-remove-blank-lines-in-a-file/ $sRtn = stringreplace(StringRegExpReplace(StringRegExpReplace($file3, "(\v)+", @CRLF), "(^\v*)|(\v*\Z)", ""), "######################## END Session", "") FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @MDAY & "/" & @MON & "/" & @YEAR & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @HOUR & "h:" & @MIN & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2,$sRtn) FileWriteLine($file2,$file1) FileClose($file2) Filedelete($historylog) If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%',"Finish Updating TV Logs") sleep(1000) Else sleep(1000) EndIf Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%',"Finish Updating TV Logs") sleep(1000) EndIf if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () Else If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%',"No TV Shows Added") sleep(1000) Else sleep(1000) Endif Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%',"No TV Shows Added") sleep(1000) EndIf if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () Endif Else If $state = "5" Then If $_guitype[1][1] = "True" then _ProgressSet($progon, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%') sleep(1000) Else sleep(1000) EndIf Else _ProgressSet($Progress1, Round (3/9*100,0), Round (3/9*100,0) & '%') sleep(1000) EndIf Endif

WoW...thanks, i will give it a try Edit: this only returned the number of occurrence and not the actual extension like the other code did

Im always amazed on how the solution is so simple...1am post on a work night turns my brain to mush...lol...Thanks guys this will work

Using RecFileListToArray.au3 to create an array of all the files in a a given directory, i would like to then search the array for any files ending with MP4,AVI and MKV. If any are found then my script would excute a given action. My question is what would be the fastest approach to this. I havent been able to figure out a proper search method using _Arraysearch(). thank you

It was answered on other Forum

Hi i keep getting a error with my script i posted over on the board of the Debugger so here is the link so not to repost the same thing http://thefoolonthehill.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=150

Thank you for that...figured it out ConsoleWrite is a big help. MY program is also finish...now i just have to add a bit of color to the GUI and maybe some color to the buttons and figure out how to make the progress bar stop resetting to its original position on the screen everytime it appears

Well i added $TRpath = IniRead("TRH_settings.ini", "therenamer", "Path", "none"), _ $_anifet = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","anime"), $_extfet = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","extra"), _ $_active = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","Active_Sections"), $_logs = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","logs"), _ $_Down = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","TV_Movie_Download") to my _inisave function and so settings are sent back to main GUI (unless there is a better way of doing it) But now i have another problem that i can figure out why its happening. So each section of my main script is wrapped in a if statement like this: if $_active[1][1] = "True" Then $Hasfiles = DirGetSize($tv_down) ConsoleWrite($hasfiles & " TV" & @CRLF) if $hasfiles > 0 then GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (1/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, "Running TheRenamer TV") GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (1/9*100,0) & '%') RunWait($fetchTV) GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (2/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, "Finish TheRenamer TV") GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (2/9*100,0) & '%') sleep(1000) if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (2/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, "Updating TV Logs") GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (2/9*100,0) & '%') Sleep(300) $file1 = FileRead($renamerlog) $file2 = FileOpen($tvlog,1) $file3 = FileRead($historylog) ;URL for following expression: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/133363-remove-blank-lines-in-a-file/ $sRtn = stringreplace(StringRegExpReplace(StringRegExpReplace($file3, "(\v)+", @CRLF), "(^\v*)|(\v*\Z)", ""), "######################## END Session", "") FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @MDAY & "/" & @MON & "/" & @YEAR & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @HOUR & "h:" & @MIN & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2,$sRtn) FileWriteLine($file2,$file1) FileClose($file2) Filedelete($historylog) GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (3/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, "Finish Updating TV Logs") GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (3/9*100,0) & '%') Sleep(1000) if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () Else GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (3/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, "No TV Shows Added") GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (3/9*100,0) & '%') sleep(1000) if $Runf = False Then ExitLoop If $pausef = True Then _pause () Endif ConsoleWrite($hasfiles & " TV2" & @CRLF) Else GuiCtrlSetData($progress1, Round (3/9*100,0)) GUICtrlSetData($Label2, Round (3/9*100,0) & '%') sleep(1000) Endif Lets say this section is deactivate when i start the script, then i go into the options, active the section, hit ok which runs _inisave and goes back to main GUI. The line $Hasfiles = DirGetSize($tv_down) will equal some weird number (even if the directory is empty) instead of 0 until i restart the entire script. I hope is clear... I will attach my entire script if it can help. I would like to thank everyone for all there help that they have been giving me in advance Final.au3

I will have a look at that , thank you So my script is working pretty well but still have a issue with Ini file. here is what i got so far: Global $TR_GUI, _ $TRH_opt_GUI=9999, $Ok, $Cancel, $saveset, $y, _ ; <=== Option GUI $x86, $x64, $custom, $custompath, $win, $win64cus, $win86cus, _ ; <=== TheRenamer Tab $Anime, $ani_fetch, $Ani_arch, $extra, $ext_fetch, $ext_Arch, $TV_fet, $Mov_fet, _ $changeMovpath, $changeTVpath,$chn_tv_text, $chn_mov_text, _ ; <=== Fetching Extra Tab $TVlog_chk, $TVlogname, $TVlogpath, $Movlog_chk, $Movlogname, $Movlogpath, _ $Anilog_chk, $Anilogname, $Anilogpath, $extlog_chk, $extlogname, $extlogpath, _ ; <=== Log Tab $iniTRpathinfo, $s_inianime, $s_iniextra, $allfet, $s_initv, $s_iniMov, $s_iniAni, $s_iniext ; <=== Save function ;#############Verify if ini file exist already####################### If not FileExists("TRH_settings.ini") then _save() _inisave() MSGbox(16,"First Step", "Please fill out the Options before pressing the Start button ") Elseif FileExists("TRH_settings.ini") Then $_Down = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","TV_Movie_Download") if $_Down[1][1] = "" and $_Down[2][1] = "" then MSGbox(48,"Warning", "mandatory options are missing.

If it does but a certain parameter isnt set, it asked you to open the options and set it. If the file exist and the mandatory parameter is set, it will read the the inifile and populate my variables. My problem is that if we going into the options GUI and change values, it saves it to the inifiles but in the main GUI the values are not updated. I dont know what code or where i should put thats said code in my script to insure that all of this: Global $TRpath = IniRead("TRH_settings.ini", "therenamer", "Path", "none"), _ $_anifet = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","anime"), $_extfet = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","extra"), _ $_active = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","Active_Sections"), $_logs = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","logs"), _ $_Down = IniReadSection("TRH_settings.ini","TV_Movie_Download") Gets updated. Is there a way to always make the script start at the line where i declared my ini variables after i close the option GUI? I hope my request is clear . Forgot to add that the goal is to use each of the ini variables to activate or disactivate sections of my script using " IF " statements

Could you explain your regExp in more detail or if you have a reference page i could use to decipher ...i havent used Regexp in a long time...bit rusty

Thanks i will give one of those a try...i dont know if it makes a difference in possibilities of scripting, but the string im looking for is always going to be the last line in the log regardless of how many lines are between it and the beginning of the log. file

Another small quesiton..., In my script i would like it to delete a certain string of text for a log file before it appends the text to another log file...i had tried make that part of the script in the past and was never able to get it to work Here is the snippet that doesnt the append: $file1 = FileRead($renamerlog) $file2 = FileOpen($extralog,1) $file3 = FileRead($historylog) ;erase of string needs to happen here FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @MDAY & "/" & @MON & "/" & @YEAR & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2, "############ " & @HOUR & "h:" & @MIN & "############ " & @CRLF) FileWriteLine($file2,$file3) FileWriteLine($file2,$file1) FileClose($file2) Filedelete($historylog) Here are the variables $searchString = "######################## END Session" ; String to search for $historylog ="C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\theRenamer\History\" & _DateToMonth(@mon,1) & "." & @MDAY & ".log" ; <=== files to search in

I dont know if it would have been better going down the Messageloop mode...it just seemed more complex and i forget why i had went down the Onevent road. Initially did the entire Options GUI in ML mode and the Main GUI in OE mode. then i transform Option GUI to OE to ease the merge. I didnt see how i could reduce the number of variables and repetitions coding in ML mode nor how to make a pause button that will be able to pause the script at any point and allow me to still use the other buttons on the Main GUI.

Ah...ic...hence why you added all those console write , Yes it does become complex when trying to merge both into 1 I built them each apart coding section by section and told myself...yeah merging this will be cake...boy was i wrong..lol. Well from what i could see in when using the checkAu3, is that i was losing my variables because of functions. I had searched around t see if there was an alternative to declaring them at the start of script as global since there was so many but i think its the only solution.
