Re: passing parameters and compiling

:shock: Hey Bob, you're a dinosaur! :shock: :idea: You can do the same thing with registry settings, and reduce the security problems. You could still use a file to modify the registry when needed. Temp load the file in a predefined location, update the settings, then delete the file. Again, just us...

Re: passing parameters and compiling

I put a number of variables at the top of my scripts that are maintained by INI files. When I need the variable, I read it from the INI file. And then I Let>variable=INI value. If INI value is blank or not matching a particular format, I skip the Let>variable command and the script uses the initial ...

Re: Embed animated gif in dialog/window

Have you tried using IrfanView? I just took an animated GIF file and used IrfanView to make a slideshow. Was able to set many parameters, including no advance on time, hide text, position frame, size frame, etc. Only one file in the slideshow. Can be started and stopped with the command line switche...

Re: Launching a script

Hello again.... I just tried your script on my Wind 10. 64 bit. As expected, I have a number of conditions I need to duplicate this. Again,can you provide some sample ini and scp files so I don't need to created them my self? I can easily change paths, but the files and the Include links will be too...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

Hey Dorian, where were you on March 3? I bet you were just sitting back and laughing as we went thru hoops and proved that we both were right. He had a real problem. And I could not duplicate it. At least I came up with a utility to change the times on files so they would sort properly if all saved ...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

So, I ran GFL14, on Samples folder, and saw no sorting. I ran GFL15, on Samples folder, and saw sorting. So, I ran the script that you provided for the compiler, and ran it on my 14, GOOD Sorting. So, I compiled the script, and ran the EXE, again GOOD sorting. Here is a link to my compiled version i...

Re: Math Functions

Ooh, sorry. I got caught up in something new, and forgot to do that. I had only downloaded the GFL14 because I thought they were code for different versions. But in one of your last messages, you told me they were files showing how 14/15 gave different results. I will try to look at that again, in n...

Re: Cannot compile - folder missing

Did you remember to put the full path in the box for the "Output File"?
If you look to the right, you will see a Browse button. Use that when you define the Output File. If you only enter the filename, I don't think it will go to the default folder.

Re: Math Functions

I think mod is actually an operator, not a function. The operators perform operations among two or more numbers. A function may just display a single number in a different view. And I agree, a MOD, MIN, MAX set of functions, with Command Help would be nice. I am surprised that they do not exist in t...

Re: RegEx

How about this, vs. RegEx?

Code: Select all

Separate>Number,;,vNumbersArray
MessageModal>Numbers are:%CRLF%%vNumbersArray_1%%CRLF%%vNumbersArray_2%

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

Did not leave yet, but I spoke too soon in last message. The files I saw with GFL14 were my own files, from earlier tests. And these were files that all had the samed time (hr/min/sec), so that is why they did not sort in your exe file. There were no new files copied onto my system, so I do not have...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

Thanks, that was a great learning class. Here are my comments: 1. I did try the links on the day you posted, but it looked like a place to upload files. But thanks to your last email, I was able to look closer and download. Thanks for the new site to add to my toolbox. 2. AVG on my system thought GF...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

Great job on the video. It was easy to see the difference without having to read. All I can say now is WOW! You have a problem! Have you thought about contacting the Macro Scheduler Forum for help? (Sorry, I could not help myself, :oops: ) No, I did not run GFL15. I have been retired almost 10 years...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

OK, back again, that was quick. I did not compile the code. But I ran the code against my MSG#.txt test files. All of the MessageModules showed me the correct results, as best as I could see. Looks like GFL is working fine. I then used FS TOUCH to change the dates on all four files to the same date/...

Re: GFL_SORTTYPE

I have been busy working to fix the same date/time of the files to allow Sorting to work by Sent Date. I will take a look at what you did, later today. You might want to consider this code, regardless of any system, because the SaveAs command will make all the files have the same Date/Time. This rou...
