Re: Need to grab path and filename of Windows Eplorer selected file.

I just stumbled on Ctrl + Shift + C and "Copy as Path" yesterday. Purely a coincidence that I also saw this post yesterday. The lack of knowledge of the Ctrl + Shift + C "Copy as Path" shortcut among veteran advanced computer nerds led me to do some Googling on the subject. It appears that "Copy as ...

Re: Need to grab path and filename of Windows Eplorer selected file.

In Windows File Explorer Ctrl + Shift + C will capture path and filename of a highlighted file or folder or group of files or folders. Therefore the following code. Not sure why but I have to run Ctrl + Shift + C twice but if it got me the result I'd run it 10 times in a script. I have not tested us...

The Forum Web Page has Changed

A month or so ago I first noticed the upper choices of the forum page had changed. Apparently today is the first time I've actually logged onto the page to post anything. I don't see a place to log out of the forum. Can I assume my login will eventually time out if enough time of inactivity elapses?...

Re: Macro Scheduler 15.0.25 released

Microsoft won't let you write to the root of the C: drive any longer. You used to be able to but its been a long time since it was possible. You can still create a folder there but you can't put a txt file there. My personal favorite new place is to create a folder under C:\ProgramData and save thin...

Re: Detect Date Format & Change If Required?

Do you have any control over the web page (parsed html)? If yes, I would address it there. If no, I think you're left guessing. Looks to me like Dorian's over-thinking has given you a better than 50/50 shot at getting the correct month and day. For identifying the year you might try VBScript to put ...

I would put the list to a variable then Separate> the list using your string parsed result variable. Also if there is a chance for string case to fluctuate, make sure to assign case to avoid errors.

Re: Difference In File Size Calculations

Your Let>strFiles=%Files1%+%Files2%+%Files3% line is adding a plus sign to the text. try rewriting it to:

Code: Select all

Re: Dialog Designer Help

For future reference. Setting ItemIndex to -1 displays a radio group with nothing preselected. Once a selection is made, there is not a way to return to no selection unless you create a way to return to no selection. For example a button could be made to reset ItemIndex to -1.

Sorry. Been off sick for the last couple of weeks and now slowly catching up. This isn't going to work for me. The new TMSAcroPDF viewer control requires Adobe Acrobat Viewer to be installed.
