JRL; I agree, Gale's solution is robust and very easy to implement. no slight was intended... but unless I'm mistaken, the window can't be guaranteed to be that of the Run Program... It's an assumption, albeit a good one, it's still an assumption and on a slow or heavily loaded machine the issue can...

I was thinking that this might be complicated and reasonably un-bulletproof or perhaps just more cumbersome than practical.

thank you for your insight and direction.

Is there a way to correlate Run Program to WaitWindowOpen when you don't know what the caption will be?

I'm writing a script to install "KB" (Knowledge Base) updates for MS Office All of the other details aside, is there a way to detect that an application created a child window? Generally, these install travel fluidly in a series of "YES", "NEXT" or "CONTINUE" buttons The exception is when the KB upd...

StringReplace, Separate, et al. don't work except under very simple cases. The problem with the RegEx solution is, once again, expecting well-formed data. Numerics, for instance, are "generally" not wrapped in quotes Just like trying to do CSV by hand (not using MS text driver, Excel, etc.), the sim...

This is similar to the issues of a one-line CSV file, but now SPACE is a delimiter (I tested... commas separate fields for batch files too). Any body have any good ideas for this? I suppose the easiest if to create a batch file on the fly and pass the command line, then collect the answers. The goal...

While this is probably a VBscript only, has anybody got a solution to determine what types of optical drives are in a computer? I haven't been able to identify an optical drive other than as a "CDROM" (That code is already on this forum). Which is to say, I really don't care about the media... I'm r...

Specifically used for VBEVAL text parameters/

VBeval>MyVBfunction(quoted(%text%), %anumber%), result

Convert Quotes to Double quotes then wrap the whole thing in quotes.

Why? Because it should be done for almost every text parameter passed to vbscript... and it would make life a little easier.

A revised version This version doesn't load the entire file into an array, rather, it returns the next record with the fields separated by linefeeds. The first record returned is either field names or the first line of data (depending on how your file is constructed). The Microsoft text driver assum...

I've seen topics suggesting "Separate"... this only works on the simplest of data. I've seen this http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1467 (which is oddly incomplete) I started building the code in MS but without reasonable psuedocode. I keep think I'm worrying about embedded quotes and comm...

in v7.4.009

I get "Error in SubString Command"

wow. you are correct about Null. Most things in MS hate them: VBEval IF>{} LET>{} (complex) Some just ignore them: StringReplace But oddly, this works: Separate>%info_2%,%NullChar%,var (as suggested by JRL) and probably for most situations fulfills the task. This would likely only be used for someth...
