Hello,

 

I'm trying to make a autoit file that generates a .html file and writes some data in there, after that is want it to open the .html file in any kind of browser. The problem I'm having is that shellexecute "uses" the file before it can be saved so it will give me the error can not save the file, file allready in use. Does someone know a way so I can open the file after it is saved?

 

Code: 

FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "Proefwerk.html", 1)

RunWait("notepad.exe C:Usersk3v1nDesktop 2ScriptProefwerkProefwerk.html")

 

WinWaitActive("Proefwerk - Notepad")

 

Send("<body>{ENTER}<title>hallo</title>{ENTER}<h1>Dit is door een geest gemaakt.</h1>{ENTER}<p>Boehoehoe wat eng<p>{ENTER}</body>")

Sleep(500)

 

WinClose("Proefwerk - Notepad")

WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Save")

Send("!s")

Sleep(2000)

 

ShellExecute("C:Usersk3v1nDesktop 2ScriptProefwerkProefwerk.html")

Don't use Notepad but write directly to the file .... something like this:

$fh = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\Proefwerk.html", 1)
FileWriteLine($fh,"<body>")
FileWriteLine($fh,"<title>hallo</title>")
FileWriteLine($fh,"<h1>Dit is door een geest gemaakt.</h1>")
FileWriteLine($fh,"<p>Boehoehoe wat eng<p>")
FileWriteLine($fh,"</body>")
FileClose($fh)
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Proefwerk.html")

Jos :)

ps. trouwens interessante tekst in de webpagina.

I had to write a script for school and the assignment was to make a AutoIt script that opens a editor and writes a Webpage and saves it as a .html and then it needs to open automaticly and my teacher showed it as it was typing by itself like it does in mine. So is it possible to still show it is typing but without the error of course.

ps: de text was gewoon gebrabbel. ;)

Now i have a bit different issue, because without the line FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "Proefwerk.html", 1) it wont make a blank tekst file. Ofcourse opening like: RunWait("notepad.exe C:Usersk3v1nDesktop 2ScriptProefwerkProefwerk.html") will ask you if you want to make a file but i cant seem to get it to work by sending the answer to the question with: Send("!y") like I had to do to save the file.

When you need to create the file you could use the fileOpen() as you did, but that needs to be followed by a FileClose(), more or less in the same way I showed in my first reply.

This is required to release the filelock.
