Aha...

Well both solutions work for me and both help me learn more about how the commands work which is great.

Thank you once again.

Did the job great except had to add:
etc.

as it was stripping the 1st digit from any number greater than 10.

Thanks, I wish I knew more about he VB stuff it is obviously really handy.

Hi again,

In one of my scripts I have a file counter which adds a number to a file name.

Users have pointed out that adding 1_filename, 2_filename etc. causes sorting problems in explorer.

Is there an obvious way to add leading zero?

01_filename, 02_filename etc.

TY.

That's great thank you.

On a similar subject I have been having real trouble with default values for Drop Down lists but I will post this separately.

Thanks again, I'm sure others will also find this useful.

Hi again. I now need to do this to another two edit boxes. the code you gave me before: //Get Handle of filename Edit Box LibFunc>User32,FindWindowA,dlgHwnd,TForm,Export Settings LibFunc>User32,FindWindowExA,editHwnd,dlgHwnd,0,TEdit,yourfile Label>ActionLoop GetDialogAction>Dialog1,result if>Dialog1...

Well this will have to do for me I guess. Not the most elegant solution but it will do: // ENTER DISALLOWED CHARACTERS Let>notallowed=ENTER CHARS HERE FOR SOME REASON THIS FORUM WON'T ALLOW THEM TO BE ENTERED - COMMAS BRACKETS ETC. Length>%notallowed%,naloop // INPUT SOMETHING Input>blah,DO IT!,Put ...

Thanks Bob, I haven't a clue about VB script.

Still I can use Google like anyone else I guess...

Once again I have searched and found some close but not close enough for my limited understanding. I have a section in my script that enters the result of a variable into a file save dialog. However, as you know, Windows hates certain characters in file names. So I am trying to strip them from the v...

Added my 2P.

Hi Phil, Playing around today I managed to replicate it with one particular window. We've looked into it and can see that there could be instances where this preview window is focused, instead of the one you want. We will work on a mod to ignore these ThumbnailClass windows for the next maintenance...

I'm running Vista and have never seen this happen. Do you get this with all/any windows, or just one in particular? Have you checked the View System Windows tool to see if there are more than one window with the same title? Are you using the asterisk or the explicit window title? Have you used WF_T...

Greetings, I am noticing this quite regularly now. When a set focus command is sent from my script the main window itself is not getting focus... Instead the small preview window (that appears when you hover over the window label in the lower task bar) gets focus instead. Of course this means that t...

Hi JRL. Thanks for your reply, it does look like a similar problem.

I can't quite figure out what I should suggest to the person who is having this trouble.

He says that the script seems to be running OK although he gets this error every time he starts it.

Sorry

Hi, I have just had this message from one of my users. My script (which is always an exe) uses dialogs and key send and really nothing glamorous other than reading from ini files and a little bit of code that you added for me to grey out a dialog. ... it doesn’t seem to hinder the script func...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, much appreciated.
