I have a very simple script, but I think I'm missing something on the WinWaitClose command. I want the script to open up notepad.exe, then wait for me to exit/close notepad.exe. When I exit notepad, I want to check the keystate of the left ctrl key. if down, run a program. if not down then just exit...

works perfect, thanks for you help.

hi- I have a script that I use to monitor the status outputs on some test equipment. When there is an event, a line is added to a text file. The text file looks like this: Mac address followed by an error/status code and description. 00-C0-XX-XX-XX-XX > E5002: Temperature Hi Limit Exceeded 00-C0-YY-...

I am working on a scrip that reads Outlook emails then modifies Evernote notes with specifics from the Outlook emails. As part of the script I open up Evernote and pause a short time to allow the user to select the note. I was curious if anyone could help with an idea I had. I want my script to paus...

hi-
thanks for your help. to your second point, yes.
on your first point: the ~= "D" is directory. i'm assuming i can just use "N" if it's a file ?

thanks for your help.

hi- I have a fairly long script that does a number of file/directory create/reads/writes. for a number of them, i check if it exists then if it doesn't I create it. if it does exist, i just delete it's contents to start fresh. here is a sample of the code: IfNotExist, %AHK_Temp%\qtdadd\ { FileCreate...

not sure if this has been requeted or not, if it has my apologies. any chance of having some user specified variables, A_Userxx, etc. Something that we could specify and then call from any script? this would give us the opportunity to read variable contents in different scripts without needing to us...

sttrebo

easier than I thought:
olItem.SaveAs(Storage_Dir "\" RegExReplace(olItem.Subject, "^(?:RE|FW): ") ".msg", 3)

removes the offending characters and any other I choose to add into the RE|FW etc string.

think i'm good to go. thanks for your help.

sttrebo

excellent, thanks. just need to add in a filter to remove invalid characters from the subjects and it'll be perfect. I use this in autohotkey: PSubject := RegExReplace(Subject,"^(?:RE|FW): ") PSubject := StrReplace(PSubject, "+", "_") any way of doing a similar thing here? also, what is the "try" an...

I have a small script that I use with my task planning app. this script just writes the subject of the email to a text file. But i've been trying to get the script to also save the selected email outside of outlook. In essence, I want to do a saveas and save the email as a .msg (the link to that fil...

sttrebo

yes, caught that when i moved the iniwrite statement. but thanks.

sttrebo

oops, nevermind. found the problem with the script. dumb mistake, i needed to move the iniwrite line into the loop parse sequence. old age sucks sometimes...

sttrebo

having a problem with a short piece of code. all it needs to do is check for the existence (or not) of a file then execute something. since the script is run over a network there is some delay in getting the response from the remote machine. here is the code: IfNotExist, %A_Temp%\AHK.txt { sleep, 50...

sttrebo

same here on windows10. odd...

sttrebo

very nice, thanks for the help all. i really appreciate all of the comments and assistance.

sttrebo

my bad, this seems to work as I need. one thing though: when the n/a field is changed to the %Link% contents, the length of the field doesn't automatically change with the length of the variable. How can I make the length change as the length of the variable data changes? I can always put in a width...
