I am not a big coder. I've dabbled with it for years and written many little scripts to help me with my day to day. @mikeyww has helped me with issues for a long time, and I have greatly appreciated his assistance and learned a lot from him. I haven't grasped the concept/usage of arrays yet, but I t...

Well, boiler, you are indeed correct. However, if you look, I've been a member of this forum for years (prior to chatgpt). I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to leverage Chatgpt for help with something as I did. I'm not a savvy coder, but have been doing my best. If you're bothered by...

I'm having some issues with the "check if file exists" and "check if file is a folder" validation steps of my code. I learn a lot better with code examples or edits to my own code, so please provide example code so I can see an recommendations in action. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and comp...

For some reason, it was not recognizing the robocopy app (even though it was in the Windows\System32 directory). By doing the following, it worked. If IncludeFolder = 0 { command = cd C`:`\Windows`\system32 && `"robocopy.exe`" `"%source%`" `"%destination%`" `/e `/tee `/ts `/v `/fp `/np `/copy`:dat `...

I have a GUI robocopy script (yes I know there are others, but I want to do my own). I know the final command is operational - as I outputted it to a file and ran it manually. However, there seems to be some issues with comspec not running the command directly. I get a "The filename, directory name,...

I'm not sure what is going on here. When I get to the last msgbox, the outputbackupfolder variable is empty. The LastSavedFolder.txt will have a 1 or 2 in it. The code is meant to check that file for the number within the file, delete the file, and make new one with the opposite number. This is mean...

Thank you. That worked. 1. Could you break down your regex for me? I was trying to understand it better so I don't have to bug people like you in the future (I'm a n00b), but don't understand how you got that to work. Man, I really wish I knew regex better. 2. I have a lot of text files I need to pa...

Without those brackets, I found it returning every row in my input file with my code. Are you able to modify my code to make it all work?

Thanks. While your code seems to be working, when I built on it and added some fields....the last variable doesn't seem to work for me now. It seems to pull the same A_LoopReadLine line instead of the row before in the file. Also, I noticed that the first character in my output file was a "|" and I'...

I would like to do the following: Select a text file to parse Parse the text file for a unique string for example: --- </errorcode> Any rows that have that string get appended to output log file Also, the row ABOVE the unique string in the source file need to be outputted as well. For example, outpu...

Can someone help me figure out how to properly wrap a really long text field? This field will include full file paths of files being scanned, but it currently is being cut off in the GUI.

I fixed the loop syntax as it was only searching within the selected folder and not recursing. Not sure which final subroutine you're referring to. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. ; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors...

Thank you. That seems to work.

Yup, that'll do it. Thank you.

I have a file that has one line containing a bunch of HTML code. I want to parse all the passwords and append them to a text log (one pw per line). Basically, I need everything in between data-tid="foundPassword"> and the next instance of </span> for each instance on the same line. LINE1:  ...

Sorry about that. Must have had a typo. Thanks regex master. How did you get so good at it? Any good regex testers you use?

So something seems off.

The real data for the line looks like this.

Filename.doc,/blah/blah/blahname.H91/blah/blah/blah/blah/something.zip/fileinzip.pdf

If it helps, it will always be after the .H91 that I am looking for the regex to apply.

It is not. How can I do it then?

Just realized that every row has the pattern .H91/ that would cause the row to hit on the regex. Can I have the regex ignore that .H91/ example but consider the row a hit if any other instances matching the pattern are present in the line? TextLine := "WANT THIS: This is an example string that conta...
