In a batch script the copy command allows the following usage: copy /b first.bin + /b second.bin /b merged.bin Is it possible to do something like this* in AHK?** * I.e. to concatenate binary and/or text files, but potentially with unicode characters in file names. ** Not by using DOS commands in th...

On some websites the URL displayed in the address field remains unchanged when new pages of the website are loaded (automatically or by visitor actions). The browser-window title remains unchanged too on such sites. And such content changes don't generate OnMessage messages. Is there an easy way to ...

So there is no way to retrieve by ACC functions a similar compact text string as with Ctrl+a/Ctrl+c/string:=clipboard?

I edited my initial question. There are no alternative ways to do something like Ctrl+a/Ctrl+c silently?

newbieforever

ctrl a grabs everything including what is not visible on the screen right now, ACC will also get all text in that value, you would have to filter later Didn't you understand what I meant? Ctrl+a/Ctrl+c/string:=clipboard is a fast operation which results in a strings containing "only visible text". ...

Thank you very much, AHKStudent. I understand now how ACC functions can be used to retrieve text from a window. However, there are a few major disadvantages compared to the Ctrl+/Ctrl+c method. The later retrieves only the visible textual content of a window, which can be used easily to extract rele...

AHKStudent: Yes, I have the ACC Viewer, and I can see the relevant text in it. But I have to automatize this: The entire text of a window should be retrieved as a string which I can use to retrieve my relevant text.

Thank you, AHKStudent.

I forgot to say: The script is just an example to show the visual effect. The question is ment in a general sense, not for specific windows. The windows may not have controls.

I see, my hope was too naive.

I post another question with a limited scope:

To make selecting by Ctrl+a (or another select-all method?) completely "silent" is probably impossible? Is there a way to minimize the visual efect of Ctrl+a (or another select-all method?) in a window*? Edit: * Not a specific window! The window may have no controls. EDIT: In the meantime I know tha...

I am surprised: Is the Ctrl+a & Ctrl+c method really the single available method we have? There is no more or less generally usable alternative to it? I ment this in a general sense, not limited to my current problem*. The only generally usable ("low-level"**) method we have to access the content o...

I would like to capture the text displayed in a browser window in short time intervals. Ctrl+A and Ctrl+c etc. can not be used, there should be no visible co-effects. The window has no controls, the content is a normal webpage. Is it possible to do this in such a hidden way and fast enough (in inter...

The "most correct" would be, as far as I understand this question, to enclose the whole DOS command in quotes (because it is a parameter of comspec): RunWait, %comspec% "copy /b "%A_WinDir%\system32\extrac32.exe"+"%CabPath%" "%MoviePath%"", %A_ScriptDir% So the above reflection was completely corre...

Thank you, wolf_II.

IT WORKS!!!
You are a schatz!!!

(Why is this /c necessary? I tryed first without, but this was not OK.)

newbieforever

In DOS, the following works perfectly:

copy /b "%windir%\system32\extrac32.exe" + "C:\CABfolder\Cabinet.cab" "C:\CABfolder\Cabinet.exe"

newbieforever

x32: This can't be OK, because the final %A_ScriptDir% is the WorkingDir paramater of the Run command, not a part of the DOS command; and it doesn't work.
