_EmailSend() Func. Ready to use.

Will - 1 (<dash><space><one>) be interpreted as -1 (<dash><one> or <negative one>)?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes...try :

$h = -1
if $h = - 1 Then MsgBox(4096,'equal' , 'equal')

Thanks JdeB, Dumb question I know. I don't have the interpreter on this system so I didnt have a chance to test it myself... thanks!

Thanks! I've just come up with the need to send short emails from an autoit script and the SMTP server requires authentication. Your function should do exactly what I need!

I had to manually create a copy of blat.exe and rename it to ~blattmp.exe in order for this to work (and move the copy to c:\tmp)

is that because the OnAutoItStart is not called unless it is compiled or some other reason?

Are you using 3.0.103 ?

[AutoIt]

apparently the version (according to the help file) is 102

I don't see a 103 on the download page?

please give a link and tell me also should I first run an uninstall or will 103 install over existing

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

in the Developer forum... look for:v3.0.103 Unstable - Reloaded

[AutoIt]

ok, uninstalled 102 and installed 103 from the link in dev forum

reran and still got a -6 and it will not work until I manually copy blat.exe to my c:/tmp/~blattmp.exe

When you run the au3 file, blat.exe will have to exist in the scriptdirectory, because a fileinstall is really a filecopy when running the script with autoit3.exe.

[AutoIt]

: blat.exe will have to exist in the scriptdirectory

oh, I understood it the wrong way then as I had the sendmail script in the blat folder,,,

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

can you explain the difference ??? :">

[AutoIt]

well, no, I can't

in other words, blat.exe is in c:\blat\

and I saved the _sendmail.au3 there and ran it from that folder

it errors with -6 and works only if I copy blat.exe to c:\tmp\~blattmp.exe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Are you using this function as an #include ?

I would change the script to look like this to ensure the fileinstall works...

If Not FileExists(@TempDir & '\~blattmp.exe') Then FileInstall('blat.exe', @TempDir & '\~blattmp.exe', 1)
If Not FileExists(@TempDir & '\~blattmp.exe') Then Return -6

[AutoIt]

this is what made it work for me..

once I changed ..FileInstall('blat.exe',... to the complete path, 'c:\blat\blat.exe'

[ezzetabi]

Is there something strange here. Why should not work FileInstall('blat.exe',[...] ?

The Func OnAutoItStart() only works with3.0.103.

Also its probable better to have the fileinstall in the Func _EmailSend() itselve because when your function is used with an#include, its always possible that the original script that contains the #include already has an OnAutoItStart().

The point of using OnAutoItStart was avoiding that blat.exe were installed everytime you calls the _Emailsend but instead only once.

But I agree about your #include point. Next time I'll put a note in the comments. Something like: if you want to use this func inside a #include removes the OnAutoItStart and OnAutoItExit funcs and remove the #cs #ce tags.

Understand ... thats why i put the If FileExistS() before the fileinstall().

Why not do it the way i descibed in my previous post to avoid the issue all together?
