@swagfag: ABSOLUTELY GREAT, thank you very much!!! PS: Just an incompetent question from an ahk newbie: If the hotstrings function was implemented with the explicite option that the replacement can be a function, why this wasn't done in such a way that Hotstring(HStr, "Insert(String)") would be poss...

Hi! I am unable to figure out how this should be done... This is just a demo script. Both HStr and String are read from a file. The replacement in the Hotstrings function should be a function. HStr := ":X*:btw" String := "By the way" Hotstring(HStr, "Insert(String)") ; How to do this correctly??? RE...

@jeeswg: I think, I will give up! It's simply too stupid... (SW developer are forced to do things like this: "Files modified on FAT volumes will not be uploaded to the server when the size didn't change and when the modification time was changed by just 1 hour +/- 2 secs" / https://github.com/ownclo...

Hi! My file backup script compares the modification time of files on the source drive and on the backup drive to backup files with different modification time. Some time ago I discovered a problem associated with FAT-formated drives. FAT has a 2 sec timestamp granularity! So I adapted my script to i...

@jeeswg, Odlanir: Thank you! Yes, the solution with Process would be nicer, but: My loop copies a number of files, and the actual copying of the last file may be finished several seconds after the loop is processed. But Process, Exist, vPID reports the end of the last process much sooner! (There see...

@Odlanir:

Thank you.

Yes, a timer was my idea to. Another solution seems not to exist...

Hi! In a loop I use xcopy (with Run) to copy files from one drive to another: Run % comspec " /c xcopy """ FileS """ """ FileT """ /h/i/c/k/e/r/y", , Hide (To use xcopy and to use Run instead of RunWait is necessary for my specific script.) How could I register when the last Run command is executed,...

Hi! My next newbie problem: Gui Start: Add, DropDownList, vvDrives ggDrives, %DrivesList% The DropDownList contains the list of the available drives (DriveList is e.g. 'C|D|G') and is created on the start of the script. How I could force an update of the DriveList on every click on the DropDownList ...

Hi! RegExReplace is not easy to understand for a newbie...

@jeesweg:
I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

FAT has a 2 sec timestamp granularity!

Now I am able to solve my problem: When comparing two timestamps, instead of If (TS1 = TS2) I use now If (Abs(TS1 - TS2) < 3) to identify that the files have the same modification date.

@BoBo:
Can you reproduce this behavior?

newbieforever

Is this a known issue? When a file is copyed to another drive, the modification time is changed slightly (1 or 2 seconds). I can reproduce this with the following demo script. Drive D in my case is a USB stick. FileAppend, , C:\Test\TestFile FileCopy, C:\Test\TestFile, D:\Test\TestFileX, 1 FileGetTi...

Theoretically, is there another method to force scroll in application's windows? (My Writer windows have no controls at all...)

OK, what about a 'simplest' question to 'SendMessage, 0x20A': ;MouseGetPos, x, y ;SendMessage, 0x20A, 120 << 16, (y << 16) | x,, A SendMessage, 0x20A, 120 << 16, (0 << 16) | 0,, A Mouse coordinates seams to be unnecessary, the command works exactly in the same way in my Writer window. Why? (Or: Why ...

OK, how about a 'modester' question: MouseGetPos, x, y SendMessage, 0x20A, 120 << 16, (y << 16) | x,, A I found out that, if the mouse wheel is set in Windows to 1 line per notch (Mouse Properties > Wheel), the above command scrolls one line (in my Writer window). With a delta of e.g. 40 instead of ...

@just me:

Yes, you are right!!! With 120 << 16 the command scrolls by 1 line, as would be expected.

However, a delta below 120 doesn't change the scroll effect...

In my script I am using hotkeys to do vertical scrolling in a text editor. The scroll commands operate with SendMessage. This method is the best I could find. A demo: CoordMode, Mouse, Client RETURN F9:: MouseGetPos, x, y SendMessage, 0x20A, 120 << 17, (y << 16) | x,, A Return F10:: MouseGetPos, x, ...
