So after many weekends of battling with this I finally figured it; then I automated it. This script includes icon sushi (which is used to remove the 256 x 256 elements from each .ico) and RDG (to compile the icons into dll). I had to idiot proof this for when I inevitably forget how to do it. First GUI will ask you to choose a name (among other things) for your .dll file. Next GUI is a drag-and-drop box. Drag-and-drop your .ico files into the box and click Go. Error checking is minimal; it works fine for me but YRMV. I'm no master programmer at all but if this script can help you as much as it helped me then cool. Download: ico2dll.Exe Known issues: .ico's containing any layers larger than 256 x 256 px will be ignored by icon sushi ico2dll only registers one drag-and-drop event so put all your required icons into one folder; then drag-and-drop them into ico2dll Extra info: Basically, the RC.exe that is included with Visual Studio doesn't seem to support 256 x 256 or larger icons when creating a resource-only .dll file. This script uses icon sushi to remove all 256 x 256 elements from your .ico files (if your icon file contains any layers larger than 256 x 256 then you will have to remove those manually through a program like gimp) before compiling them into the .dll. #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=..\ICONS\Capital18-Ethereal-2-Mimetypes-dll.ico #AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=ico2dll.Exe #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiListView.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <Misc.au3> #include <Array.au3> Opt("trayicondebug", 1) $tmp = "C:\ico2dlltemp\" $tmprmv = "C:\ico2dlltemp\rmv\" If FileExists($tmp) Then DirRemove($tmp, 1) Sleep(100) DirCreate($tmprmv) Global $FileName, $ListViewIndexSel = -1, $PathAllExist, $RCFile, $vpath Global $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt, $dBox, $iData, $vdata2, $lang, $iData2 Global $TmpDir = @TempDir & "\ResDllGen" Global $TmpDirplusSlash = @TempDir & "\ResDllGen\" Global $Res_List, $Res_Name, $Res_Type, $Res_Path, $StrLenPath, $Bloc, $LangHex If FileExists($TmpDir) Then DirRemove($TmpDir, 1) If FileExists($TmpDirplusSlash) Then DirRemove($TmpDirplusSlash, 1) Sleep(100) DirCreate($TmpDirplusSlash) $rnd = Random(999, 99999, 1) DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "\tools\") DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "\Languages\") FileInstall("aicon.exe", @ScriptDir & "\aicon.exe") FileInstall("aicon.ini", @ScriptDir & "\aicon.ini") FileInstall("brushes", @ScriptDir & "\brushes") FileInstall("Languages\English.lng", @ScriptDir & "\Languages\English.lng") FileInstall("Languages\“ú–{Œê.lng", @ScriptDir & "\Languages\“ú–{Œê.lng") FileInstall("Languages\Default.lng", @ScriptDir & "\Languages\Default.lng") ;FileInstall("G:\autoo\resdll\generator\RDG.exe", @ScriptDir & "\RDG.exe") FileInstall("tools\cvtres.exe", @ScriptDir & "\tools\cvtres.exe") FileInstall("tools\DLLSZ.ico", @ScriptDir & "\tools\DLLSZ.ico") FileInstall("tools\link.exe", @ScriptDir & "\tools\link.exe") FileInstall("tools\mspdb50.dll", @ScriptDir & "\tools\mspdb50.dll") FileInstall("tools\rc.exe", @ScriptDir & "\tools\rc.exe") FileInstall("tools\RCdll.dll", @ScriptDir & "\tools\RCdll.dll") Const $SP = "#~#" Dim $Lang _SelectLanguage() $Res_Gui_2 = GUICreate($lang[22], 390, 470, -1, -1, -1) ;

I need to change user's passwords remotely for Linux devices. I was recommended using plink for achieving the same, but I am facing little issue while resetting the passwords. Sharing the command using which I change password via cmd (working): echo 'y' | plink.exe admin@X.X.X.X -pw Old-password -no-antispoof "echo -e 'Old-password\nNew-password\nNew-password'|(passwd)" > passwdChange.log When I integrated it with AutoIT, I embedded the above command in a batch file as below. @echo off echo 'y' | plink.exe %1@%2 -pw %3 -no-antispoof "echo -e '%3\n%4\n%4'|(passwd)" > passwdChange.log When I try to execute the above batch file via AutoIT Run/ShellExecute command it doesn't work properly (doesn't change password). $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c "&@ScriptDir &"\chpasswd.bat "&$sUser&" "&$sIP&" "&$sOldPwd&" "&$pwd, "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) Where I am going & what changes I need to make in order for this to work Thank you in advance.

Members 0 2 10 posts Posted 1 minute ago I have a littel script: AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Local $iReturn  ; Returnwert Local $iVar     ; Variable Local $iBit     ; Bitnummer $iVar=$Cmdline[2] $iBit=$Cmdline[3] Switch $Cmdline[1]     Case 1         $iReturn=BitOr ($ivar,2^$iBit)     Case 2         $iReturn=BitAnd ($iVar,2^$iBit)         if ($iReturn = 2^$iBit ) Then             $iReturn=0         Else             $iReturn=1         EndIf EndSwitch Exit $iReturn which does bit handling. It works as desired but: If I want to check the Returncode of the EXE created in the calling batch within an if-clause %ERRORLEVEL% does not match the Returncode of my script (calling outside of an if-clause works as desired). My assumption for this behaviour is: I do not use enabledelayedexpansion in my batch-system and thus this special "variable" %ERRORLEVEL% is not defined in the if-clause. If my assumption is correct: How can I retransfer the Returncode to batch? Thanks - Michael

Hey guys, I am very new to using AutoIt and wrote my first little script today after reading bits and pieces on the docs. The script is designed to make an ugly batch operation a bit more user friendly for the people in the office. I have a batch file that consists of: @echo off net use B: /delete net use B: \\10.10.10.10\Share /user:domain\username It is used to log a user onto a secure share drive on my NAS. I have spoofed the share location etc. however. My AutoIt Script is: Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", "Enter your password.", "", "*","M") Run("C:\Users\User\Desktop\login.bat") WinWaitActive("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe") Send($passwd) Now this works fine, however once I input my password into the GUI and it Sends that Password to the cmd window, I cannot make it send an "ENTER" Keystroke. It isn't a HUGE issue as I can manually press enter once the cmd window shows up, but I would like it to input the password and do the carriage return straight away. I have tried using Send("{ENTER}") , and it returns an error. I have tried changing the way I implement the sending of {ENTER} in as many ways as I can think of. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me on this. Also, if anyone knows of a way to run the cmd window silently but still be able to send the password to it that would be even better! Cheers

TeraCopy Timer - A program of mine, front end really, that I have been working on (on & off) for some time, but not shared here before, that I recall. Third party program TeraCopy is required. Many of you will be familiar with TeraCopy, and it has been discussed here at AF on several occasions, in various sub forums, including Chat. BE ADVISED - I still use an older version of TeraCopy (v2.27), a goody but an oldy, so have only tested my program with that. It may work with the newer v3.xx, or may be easily adjusted to do so, but I have not yet gone that route. Likewise, I only use it with Win 7 and Win XP, but I don't imagine there should be any issues with newer Windows. Add to that, my program being devised and created in AutoIt v3.3.0.0. So what is TeraCopy Timer and why might you need it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those familiar with TeraCopy use, know you can run multiple copy or move jobs either simultaneously or concurrently (one immediately after another has finished). With the free version at least, you have no control over precise order or timing, and no way to deal (without manual interaction) with the pesky Thumbs.db files in Win XP. TeraCopy Timer allows you to do all those things, and in a batch fashion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some screenshots and brief explanation Main Window Minimalist Window This new WAIT feature is the simplest and best way to use the program generally (in my view) ... but check out the following, as it is not always the case. Advanced Delay Window WARNING - It should go without saying, that you take all the usual precautions. For instance, don't use move with the only copy you have of precious files. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP! Don't hold me liable for anything, except for being a nice guy who likes to share. TeraCopy Timer v3.5.zip (MAJOR UPDATE - see detail at Post #39) Enjoy! OLDER DOWNLOADS P.S. I am not affiliated in any way with those who created and provide the excellent third party program - TeraCopy.

I'm quite new to AutoIT and I have a very big batch file that I'm trying to completely re-write in Autoit, so far it's been going well but I got stuck with a certain part, hope someone can help.

OR: A way to remove the keys without the values from the Array created by IniReadSection. A way to then take these stored values, and create a list of Languages based last 2-4 characters of the Key names. At this point, that said list is shown to user in DropDown box, after user make selection I need a way to move the Value of the Key related to the selected Language to a Variable, and ONLY the value for that specific Language. That's it basically, the rest is more or less Variable manipulation which isn't a problem. A little Example: My INI file have a Section like this: [LangInclude] IncludeAR=a IncludeCZ= IncludeDE=b IncludeEN= IncludeES=c IncludeESMX= IncludeFR= IncludeHU=d IncludeIT= IncludeJP= IncludeKR=e IncludePL= IncludePR= IncludePRBR= IncludeRU= IncludeZH= I need to get Only the keys that are set, in this case: IncludeAR, IncludeDE, IncludeES, IncludeHU & IncludeKR. I then need to convert these to a list of languages, in this example it will be (Arabic, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Korean). That list will be turned to DropDown selection, that I can do easily once I get the list correctly. After the user Selected, let us say for the example purpose Spanish, I need the Value of IncludeES to be moved into a Variable, like this: $Var=c I hope somebody can help me because I'm stuck after Importing the INI section with IniReadSection, everything I tried so far failed, the best I managed to do is Sort the array to have all the keys with values either at the first rows or last rows. I need some ideas. Help appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Ich hab ein Script für Windows Updates, dass nach dem OOBE aufgerufen werden soll. Run/RunOnce ist daher nicht möglich. Stattdessen möchte ich das Script in den Autostart schreiben lasse. Wenn die OOBE beendet wird und der Administrator angemeldet wird, soll das Update-Script einmalig aufgerufen werden und sich anschl. selbst löschen. Lang rede, kurzer Sinn: Wie kann ich folgendes Script in den Autostart schreiben? RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File C:\UA\Scripts\win-updates.ps1 -MaxUpdatesPerCycle 100 -RestartRequired 1", "") Ich würde ungern eine BAT oder EXE reinkopieren, da ich es unsauber finde. Die müsste ja auch zusätzlich irgendwo liegen. Danke Eggsplorer

I am running the tomcat batch file through autoit and need to wait until the below line I get in console output. But when I am trying to read the console output using the ProcessEx UDF, I am getting only the partial output. So, can you please suggest how to handle this.

Hello guys, im just started in programming and all.. and i wanted to learn autoscript to. Was wondering if any can convert my one-liner batch script to an autoit script - FOR /F %%i IN (names.txt) DO @copy system.act %%i.act So what this does is open and read the file "names.txt" incrementally, and copy a certain file named "system.act" and rename it to each name that is listed on "names.txt" So im trying this on autoit but no idea how to start file manipulation and do command - #include <File.au3> $file = "c:\names.txt" FileOpen($file, 0) For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file) $line = FileReadLine($file, $i) Can anyone help me or guide me on how to continue this to get the result that i want..:)? Thanks

Hi everyone. I'm currently working a program that constantly prints out log files through "consolewrite" and the "#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y" wrapper. Part of this program requires me to run a batch script. My issue is the batch script launches from the same window as consolewrite. I need the batch file to be launched through a different window as currently this causes an issue with the logs (which need to be very precise) but also causes the batch file to produce some funny behavior... Does anyone know how I can force the file to run on a second DOS window? Thanks in advance!!! Edit: Im using the "run" command if that helps. I tried "shellexecute" but that seemed to not launch the batch scripts at all.

I have several batch files, e.g. echo off echo !DT | ncat 192.168.1.6 80 > scan1.dta This data1.bat works as expected by saving data from !DT command. I have tried several variations from AutoIt ;  $DOS = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /k " & "ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <getdata >scan1.dta", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) ;  $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /k " & "ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <getdata >scan1.dta", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) ;  $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "echo ?DT | ncat 192.168.1.6 80 > scan1.dta & @CRLF", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)   $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "data1.bat & @CRLF", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) but none save the data to scan1.dta Run out of ideas so far...

If I am using a RunWait command to launch a batch file from within an AutoIt script, how can I pass a variable to said batch file so that the batch file can utilize said variable like in a %var% format? Thank you in advance.

I normally launch things silently, but now I want to launch a batch (.cmd) file and have it run as normal displaying it's standard output to the user. Whether I use ShellExecuteWait or RunWait, the command prompt window is displayed, but the output is blank (although I know that the batch file is processing normally because it also produces a log file). If this is because AutoIt is re-directing the standard I/O of the batch file/console window, is there a way I can bypass the I/O redirection? Thanks, TXTechie

hi can you tell me how can i run cscript.exe with these arguments using a autoit script currently i'm using a batch file to run this "C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe" "C:\project\rohit.vbs" "C:\project\fileneame.exe"
