Thanks to both, Xtra's answer is what I was looking for.

The help describes how to find if a file has the "hidden attribute": if InStr(FileExist("C:\My File.txt"), "H") MsgBox The file is hidden. For me that's clear, I see the idea behind it Now I found an old posting - "How to find if the current data has the "folder attribute". Sounds to be the same way...

Thanks for the explanation, @boiler
I'm very creative in creating crazy code.

I see the problem. I tried to create a "Loop parse" snippets which can be called with different delimiters. So I made it like this: FileContents := "Like this example" delimiter = `n, `r Loop, parse, FileContents, %delimiter% ; Specifying `n prior to `r allows both Windows and Unix files to be parse...

The help for "Lop, parse" here https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopParse.htm tells us: Loop, parse, FileContents, `n, `r ; Specifying `n prior to `r allows both Windows and Unix files to be parsed. { MsgBox, 4, , Line number %A_Index% is %A_LoopField%.`n`nContinue? IfMsgBox, No, break } I t...

Thanks to all.

I made a simple script - select source folder, select target folder, copy from source to target and take the time from start till end.
Not high sofisticated and not scientific, but gives an idea on "real life".

Yes, I think that's the core question.

Thanks to all.

Do you see the same traffic if you use a non-AHK approach? .... That's under "current research". The used time to copy something is approx. the same, so I think the load will be the same. I just heard that there are some "copy options" (for advanced user) - with and without verifying, something abo...

This is maybe only a side effect of AHK, but .. I used FileCopyDir to copy two folders from server A to server B (the copy command was started from my PC which is on LAN with server A) - one folder with 1.2 GB and 1200 files - one folder with 0.9 GB and 1 file Now I watched the traffic on our fibre-...

Peter2

Thanks. I should read more and post less ...

Peter2

I use

Code: Select all

"FileSelectFolder, my_selection, c:\data\test"

The problem is: When want to select another folder I just can go "down", like to folder "c:\data\test\project_a". But I can not go "up" to "c:\data" or to "d:\backup"

Is this intended?

Peter2

I want to measure the speed of our LAN connection between two departments and would see a simple solution: - Prepare a folder with a lot of files - copy it from Server A to Server B - take the time that it needs - write it to log-file Before I reinvent the wheel - does a tool / snippet for things li...

really great

Peter2

Thanks @lexikos
I will check it.

Peter2

Thanks, Bobo

I just learned that I don't need

Code: Select all

Runwait, regedit /s,%a_temp%\my_file.reg

-> this calls always the dialogue.
I just need only

Code: Select all

Runwait, %a_temp%\my_file.reg

For RegWrite I suppose it's fine for single values, but here I have to extract / to loop the content of the reg-file?

Peter2

Thanks for quick reply. An AHK-noob with, so far, 254 postings at the forum? ... Yes.

I have a REG file which I have to read (to fill into) the registry. I would use "RunWait, regedit /s my_settings.reg", or ...

Is there a better solution in AHK?

Peter

Peter2

I'm sure it's an old and simple topic, but nevertheless .. The Main dialogue of AHK shows the current values of the variables, and because I often use rather long strings (Network paths; read lines from textfiles) they are often trunc..... (truncated) Can they displayed in their entire length? Thanks!

Peter2

@boiler
thanks.

The reason for "WinWaitClose": Copy & paste from another code without detailed understanding

@Rohwedder
thanks, but no success.

The problem seem to be that the GUI is waiting for input, and this waiting stops the entire software. And I don't see how to make the GUI waiting and the background running ..
