Open text file wirh Notepad and wait until text file is saved

[kneze]

Hi

i start with new script to ad computer names to empty text file. The steps to do this are: Press Button "New CP Name List". Script check if cpnamelist.txt exist and delete it. Script create a new one. Now Script open cpnamelist.txt with notepad and i paste computer names in to this file and save file. How can i stop script until content is saved. I have tried Miscellaneous (winwait etc.) but somthing was wrong.

Your script doesn't use Notepad in it.

You need to add a FileWrite to write the data to the file, which is also missing in your script.

Don't use Notepad to do this, it just adds complexity to a simple process.
