Okay now I don't know what is going on. Just tried adding subfolders into C:\temp and it wouldn't find any files in any subfolders but now it won't find any files in C:\temp when a moment ago it was :?: :?: :?: Same files, nothing moved, nothing changed in the script. It worked once and now not at a...

I think I've found the problem but I don't know why it's a problem. If I put my large files in C:\temp the script works. For some reason it doesn't like the folder structure we are using which is in this format: L:\CLIENT NAME BACK CATALOGUE\name\number - Title of production This it usually is inclu...

I'm running Windows 7 64bit. If I type forfiles into a command prompt I get list of things starting with ".gtk-bookmarks" and ending with "XMLjobtickets" I've found now where it's creating the .txt file but the file itself is empty which would explain why the message box is blank. I've run this on s...

Cheers JRL, sorry for the long delay in replying. I wasn't ignoring you, just been off work for a few days. I don't seem to be able to get this to work. I've deliberately put files in a folder that are over size and when I run the script I just get an empty message box come up. At the risk of soundi...

I'm trying to write a script that ideally would find all MP3 files in a folder that had a running time of longer than 78 Minutes but because I can't find an easy way of finding the running time I'm resorting to a slightly less accurate method of using file size. This is what I have at the moment (ba...

I would like to add a final function to my macro. This macro joins together several WAV files into one new file. What I would like to do is to get the file size of the newly created file (1 wav file) and compare it against the combined file size of all the WAV files that were joined together. All of...

Aha! Yep that fixed it.

Cheers Marcus, much appreciated.

Ahh yes <Sound of penny dropping>

That makes sense and a much more elegant way of doing it compared to the convoluted code I was trying to write.

Cheers Marcus.

:oops: :oops: Ahh, yes, oops. In my defense I copied and pasted into a temporary script to hack it around and added the messagemodal command at the last minute. However in my original script the variables are between %%. I've tried adding them in the test script as well but it still doesn't work in ...

I'm trying to copy the names of files and store them as variables for later comparison. I had intended to do this using a loop command but the variables aren't being captured in that if I messagemodal them, I just get the name of variable and not what should be in the variable. This is a heavily edi...

Cheers Marcus, but that's the problem. Lets say I have 9 files in my folder but for some reason when I open them up, this program lists 15 files as being open. If I set the loop to equal the file count (9) it won't check 6 of the files listed in this program. I will have no way of knowing what files...

Okay a bit of a hard one to explain but there is a bug in a program we use that can't be fixed for reasons that are too long and boring to go into so I'm trying to come up with a workaround. The problem is that if you previously joined files together in a particular program, very occasionally when y...

I've never been great on looping and in this particular macro has loads depending on what happens elsewhere in the script but several of them all reference a predefined value that determines how many times all the various loops should run. This part of my script is navigating a file list within a pr...

Not too sure on the best way to describe this but... I have a window that shows a list of files used in a particular program. This list is in columns a bit like those in Windows Explorer which show file properties etc. One of these columns is called Description and will be either empty or contain th...

Ahh! I take it back. Just realised why it wasn't working. I'd left a WaitKeyDown>c in that subroutine whilst I was testing something else out (I was manually adding a space before the commas to see if that would make separate work before pressing c to continue the script- it didn't) Now, with your L...
