Dan's misc. Scripts

Dan_555 · August 25, 2020

Hi, here ill post some of my scripts, which are less or more useful.

To begin with, here is an HTML unescape script. It converts the %20%5D%5B chars into readable text.

It tries to detect if the 2 chars after % are valid, but not for every case.

#include <GuiEdit.au3>

The Gui has two edit boxes.

You can Load a Text file or paste a text from the clipboard into the left box.

Loading something will automatically convert it, while pasting will not. The result is displayed in the right box, which is resizeable.

The text from the right box can be saved, if needed.

Optionally the font for both boxes can be changed (same for both), but not saved.

With autoit, it is easy to write some small tools, just like this one.

It is a Scratchpad or Notepad which does not have any saving abilities.

Therefore you can copy and paste into it and discard the changes without ever being asked, if you want to save them.

Useful if you need to reuse text a lot.

Or, do you need to compare a text code side by side ?

Anyway, this app does not save anything.

You can change the Font and you have copy, paste, clear, celar and paste, copy all and undo buttons.

Have fun.

I'm using "Ideal" to program in blitz basic language.

Ideal was not updated for a long time, and while it works perfectly, it has one bug.

While the is bug nothing serious, the built in error checking wants to report it, so a Message box is occasionally showing up, which can be clicked away.

Lately i wrote a script, which is clicking it away, automatically:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=CloseIdealErrorWindow.exe
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <Timers.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

Global $pid

Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3)
opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)

Local $idExit = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TrayItemSetOnEvent ($idExit, "ExitIt" )

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\" & "Ideal.exe") Then $pid=ShellExecute("ideal.exe")

If _Singleton("CloseIdealErrorWindow", 1) = 0 Then Exit

TraySetToolTip("IDeal.exe helper tool")

While ProcessExists($pid)
    If WinExists("IDEal - Error Handler") Then
        WinActivate("IDEal - Error Handler")
        ControlClick("IDEal - Error Handler", "", 2, "Left")
        sleep (60)
        WinActivate("IDEal")
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func ExitIt()
    exit
EndFunc

Edit (1.1.2021): This should be used as a launcher for the Ideal.exe.

Updated script, now exits when ideal.exe is closed

Can I ask about the _ChooseFont function, for example I choose the font Courier New, Font style is Bold Size 10, the next time I want to change it, the Font panel is currently selected in the current position.

I'm not sure what you have asked, but if you want to save and load the font for the next time, then you can do it like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

You can save the font for many different edit boxes, by changing the $nr.

(Save and later reuse some of the favorite fonts)

And the above code as an Include.

    IniWrite($f_inifile, "font", $nr & "7", $a_Font[7])
EndFunc   ;==>SetIniFont

$f_inifile should be set to a desired ini filename in the main program !

You can have multiple edit fields with different fonts.

Use $nr with a number to Get/Set different font options.

Slight nitpick, you can use TrayOnEvent instead of making your own Sleep function which checks for tray messages

Dan_555 · September 14, 2020

Right, thanks, i didn't know that it existed.

I made the custom sleep function, because the tray menu may react very slowly, when using the real sleep function.

Here is the result:

$iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(270388, "Flashing Colors", "One of the examples contains flashing Colors" & @CRLF & "Do you want to continue ?", 15)
If $iMsgBoxAnswer = 7 Then Exit ;No

This is all non double buffered, so a flickering may/will occur.

After the Gui has been created, (The gui needs to have the handle passed into the $hGui variable), use

Initialize() - to startup the GDI+ and to setup default color and font.

At the end of the script, use

CleanUp() - To free the resources used by the script.

The available commands are:

CLS ("000000") - Clears the screen in a color. The color is in RGB - Hex format.

Font(Name,Size) - Sets the font to use. The font name should be passed in double quotes, e.g. "Arial" or "Terminal" ... etc.

Color ("000000") - Sets the brush color in RGB - Hex format. Optionally, the alpha value "00"-"FF" can be set up, but it is predefined as "FF".

Print ("Text",x,y) - Draws the text on the Gui window.

Delay(Milliseconds) - Wrapped-up the Sleep function to act as a delay. It sets the global $guiQuit variable to 1 if the x button was pressed. See the examples on how it can be used.

And the last one is only a helper function:

Outline ("text",x,y) - Draws a Text with borders.

Enjoy.

Tip for you for BIG speed optimization in your first post in this topic:

case sensitive searching is MUCH faster (special chars and numbers can be always searched case sensitive), so replace

 $y = StringInStr($txt, "%", 0, 1, $y)

by

 $y = StringInStr($txt, "%", 1, 1, $y)

Hi,

this is the "continuation" of the Script from my last post. It is a Script which should make it easy to write some Ascii/Text based games.

There are few new commands (description is in the sourcecode).

Save the code as

Ascii Game Framework (GDIP_AsciiGamework_include.au3)

;V 1.00
;Ascii Game Framework - include, written by Dan_555
;Use this to easily program some Ascii-Games
;
;Initialize(Height,Width,"windowname")  to startup the GDI+ and to setup default color and font.Defaults to 400x300 window
;CleanUp()                              To free the resources used by the script.
;
;The available commands are:
;
;CLS  ("000000")            Clears the screen in a color. The color is in RGB - Hex format.
;Font(Name,Size,[style])    Sets the font to use. The font name should be passed in double quotes, e.g.  "Arial" or "Terminal" ... etc.
;                           Read the function for the style explanation (bold, italic etc)
;Color ("000000")           Sets the brush color in RGB - Hex format. Optionally, the alpha value "00"-"FF" can be set up, but it is predefined as "FF".
;Print ("Text",x,y)         Draws the text on the Gui window.
;Delay(Milliseconds,[flip]) Wrapped-up the Sleep function to act as a delay.
;                           It sets the global $guiQuit variable to 1 if the x button was pressed.  See the examples on how it can be used.
;                           set flip to 0 if you want to use the Flip() function on your own
;KeyDown("Keyname")         Returns 1 if keyname e.g. "up" was pressed
;                           Available key names: Up,Down,Left,Right,Space,Ctrl,Alt,Shift,Enter,Lmouse,Rmouse,Mmouse,LShift,RShift,ESC
;Flip()                     Draws the buffer to the window (flips the backbuffer so that it becomes visible) use this at the end of the game loop.
;GetMouseCoords()           Used by the Delay function to set up the mouse coordinates into MouseX,MouseY,MouseGx,MouseGy variables.
;                           Use this only if you want to use a custom Delay function, set it at the beginning of the loop.
;
;And the last one is only a helper function:
;Outline ("text",x,y,[oc],[tc])                 Draws a Text with borders. oc= outline color, tc= text color in rgb format e.g. "ff2d13"
;
;Available Global variables:
;

;                                               negative coordinates to the up and to the left side
;$h_GameGui                                     Game Window/gui handle
;$guiQuit                                       Used by the Delay Function to end the app.

Hi, this is my version of the Peg Solitaire Game in Autoit

It was inspired by the http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/solitaire.htm game (which is, by the look, almost identical).

It has the Standard Board and additionally 14 different Board setups. The Game starts with randomly selected challenge.

It has an Undo and Edit functions.

Minor Bugfix #3

pixelsearch · December 20, 2020

Hi Dan_555,
Just played your Peg Solitaire, it's great !
I started successfully with levels "Ship" and "Submarine", maybe I should consider joining the Navy
Nice features : Edit, Cls, Use Pasted, Undo, I tried them all.

Time to try the other levels, thanks Dan :bye:

Dan_555 · December 20, 2020

Thanks.

At first i wanted to use numbers for the levels, and for that i'v converted some functions from blitzbasic to autoit.

But i decided to leave it as it is.

In other (older ?) basic languages, when speaking of binary, it means the numbers in the binary format "0100101".

But AutoIt has a different meaning for it.

So here are the converted functions which manipulate the individual bits of one variable:

$y=2
$x=Bit_Set($y,1)
CW($y & " = " & _NumberToBinary($y) & " :")
CW ($x & " = " & _NumberToBinary($x))
CW("")

$y=3
$x=Bit_Clear($y,1)
CW($y & " = " & _NumberToBinary($y) & " :")
CW ($x & " = " & _NumberToBinary($x))
CW("")

$y=3
$x=Bit_Toggle($y,2)
CW($y & " = " & _NumberToBinary($y) & " :")
CW($x & " = " & _NumberToBinary($x))
CW("")

$y=2
$x=Bit_Toggle($y,1)
CW($y & " = " & _NumberToBinary($y) & " :")
CW($x & " = " & _NumberToBinary($x))

CW("")
CW("Reading out 183, should display 10110111")
For $x=8 to 1 step -1
CW(Bit_Read(183,$x),0)
Next

CW("")

Func Bit_Set($x, $bit)                ;Set a bit to 1
    ;x = variable
    ;bit = bit number to set (reminder: bit #1 is the rightmost bit: %101001110[1] <- )
    Return BitOR($x, BitShift(1, -($bit - 1)))
EndFunc   ;==>Bit_Set

Func Bit_Clear($x, $bit)               ;Set a bit to 0
    ;x = variable
    ;bit = bit number to unset (reminder: bit #1 is the rightmost bit: %101001110[1] <- )
    Return BitAND($x, (BitXOR($x, BitShift(1, -($bit - 1)))))
EndFunc   ;==>Bit_Clear

Func Bit_Toggle($x, $bit)           ;Flip a bit (1 becomes 0 or 0 becomes 1)
    Return BitXOR($x, (BitShift(1, -($bit - 1))))
EndFunc   ;==>Bit_Toggle

Func Bit_Read($x, $bit)               ;Reads a bit state of a variable
    ;Return the bit state (0 or 1) rightmost bit being 1st
    Return ((BitAND(($x), (BitShift(1, -($bit - 1))))) <> 0) ? 1 : 0
EndFunc   ;==>Bit_Read

    Local $nl = ""
    If $crlf = 1 Then $nl = @CRLF
    ConsoleWrite($txt & $nl)
EndFunc   ;==>CW

; Func _NumberToBinary($iNumber)

;   NOTE: range for 32-bit signed values is -2147483648 to 2147483647!
;       Anything outside the range will return an empty string!
;
; $iNumber = # to convert, obviously
;
; Returns:
;   Success: Binary bit string
;   Failure: "" and @error set
;
; Author: Ascend4nt, with help from picaxe (Changing 'If BitAND/Else' to just one line)
;   See it @ http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90056
; =================================================================================================

Func _NumberToBinary($iNumber)
    Local $sBinString = ""
    ; Maximum 32-bit # range is -2147483648 to 2147483647
    If $iNumber < -2147483648 Or $iNumber > 2147483647 Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")

    ; Convert to a 32-bit unsigned integer. We can't work on signed #'s
    $iUnsignedNumber = BitAND($iNumber, 0x7FFFFFFF)

    ; Cycle through each bit, shifting to the right until 0
    Do
        $sBinString = BitAND($iUnsignedNumber, 1) & $sBinString
        $iUnsignedNumber = BitShift($iUnsignedNumber, 1)
    Until Not $iUnsignedNumber

    ; Was it a negative #? Put the sign bit on top, and pad the bits that aren't set
    $sBinString = StringRight("000000000000000000000000000000" & $sBinString, 31)
    If $iNumber < 0 Then Return '1' & $sBinString
    Return '0' & $sBinString
EndFunc   ;==>_NumberToBinary

All functions use the same syntax: (Variable,bit number).

Where the rightmost bit is the number 1, going to left up to 31/32 (of which Autoit supports, i think).

Bit_Clear sets a bit to 0

Bit_Read reads out a bit, returns either 1 or 0

Bit_Set sets a bit to 1

Bit_Toggle flips a bit. 1 becomes 0, and 0 becomes 1.

And there is a _NumberToBinary function which i'v found here on the forums (see the code for the credits/link).

Have fun.

Here is my Alternative input box function.

It uses an edit box to display the text, and is therefore expandable.

The script has a simple demo,which displays some keywords while typing.

And i modified my helper function of console write (CW) to display a message box if compiled, or to write to console if running from SCITE.

The console version works from the Scite and in the console.

When ran under dos it accepts input through the stdio, and when ran from Scite it uses the Message Box to get the input.

The interpreter code is from Rosettacode.org

The Gui-Visualiser looks like this:

AutoBF.png.834c577db25484ea9efc5b33fef9c653.png

The attached 7z archive contains the source code and compiled versions (32,64 bit) of the visualiser, 32 bit console version, custom icon and

few bf test apps.

The script will wait until WhatsApp is started, then it will cover the X with a small square/rectangular gui.

Clicking on the covered area will minimize whatsapp.

Closing and restarting, moving and resizing whatsapp works fine (so far).

Attached is the custom icon (taken from the whatsapp.exe)

Update: Removed the topmost flag and added the whastapp handle to the gui. Positioned the initial gui window outside (top side) desktop window.

Oh my god thats such a great idea. Cover all "X" (and perhaps minimize) buttons and force each app to go to taskbar/tray/exit..

Finally not having to set it in each app individual settings and hate those apps that dont offer the choice.
