That could be a problem if the multi_sz may contain comma(s). Choose another separator character that you should never encounter, like ChrW(0xFFFD) (Not a Character). And yes those multi_sz are painful and don't even accomodate empty strings if not the first and only one.

I can imagine that it wouldn't work with that line. Try this $SelectFile = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListV1, $s)

@TheXman Nice! Its pretty much the same idea as above but cleaner since its already made I Included the code from WinAPIMisc.au3 (Autoit 3.3.14) here Yashied uses _WinAPI_StrLen to walk the string to the next NULL which I imagine is a bit faster Here it is functionally equivalent #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> #Include <Array.au3> Global $sMountedPath = "c:\" ; Don't forget to end with final '\' Global $sGuid = _WinAPI_GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint($sMountedPath) ConsoleWrite("Vol Guid: " & $sGuid & @CRLF) _ArrayDisplay(__WinAPI_GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName($sGuid), "Mount Point(s):") Func __WinAPI_GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName($sVolumeGUID) Local $tVolNames, $tSize = DllStructCreate('int iSize') ;First call to get size of buffer req'd Local $aRet = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'bool', 'GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeNameW', _ 'wstr', $sVolumeGUID, 'ptr', 0, _ 'dword', 0, _ 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($tSize) _ ) $tVolNames = DllStructCreate("wchar [" & DllStructGetData($tSize, 1) & "]") ;Second call gets the actual data $aRet = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'bool', 'GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeNameW', _ 'wstr', $sVolumeGUID, _ 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($tVolNames), _ 'dword', DllStructGetSize($tVolNames), _ 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($tSize) _ ) If @error Or Not $aRet[0] Then Return SetError(@error + 10, @extended, '') ;Step through the data turn the nulls into invalid unicode char (0xFFFD) @jchd For $i = 1 To (DllStructGetSize($tVolNames)/2) - 2 ;each character occupies (/2) two bytes and we ignore the last (-2) two nulls..

_WinAPI_StructToArray will do the heavy lifting of parsing arrays of null terminated unicode strings.

On a 64 bit machine 32 bit Registry = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node 64 bit Registry = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE Assuming your script is compiled as 32 bit, when you used RegWrite to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic" you actually wrote to the 32 bit path i.e.: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic If you compile your script as 64 bit then it would go to the correct location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic However if you want to write to the 64 bit path when your script is compiled as 32 bit, then you can use HKLM64 for 64 bit and HKLM for 32 bit. Personally I prefer using 32 bit compiled scripts otherwise you have to create two separate executables one for 64 bit and one for 32 bit, by using a 32 bit compiled script you can check to see which architecture for example: If @OSArch = "x64" Then RegWrite("HKLM64\...) Else RegWrite("HKLM\...) EndIf Hope that makes sense.

ivannikolaisson, Welcome to the AutoIt forums. How often does the "Done" flash? I suggest using a loop adjusting your timing so that you stand a good chance of not always hitting the moment when it is visible and then incrementing a counter to get 3 consecutive hits each at least 500ms apart. M23

That's just a technical detail. You can as well walk the string as Word or Uint32 or Short (pick your favorite name) and check for 0x0000 then replace by 0xFFFD (or some other good, highly unlikely choice. Leave the last USHORT as 0x0000 since it will be a good end of string marker. Having the struct element union-ed as Byte[] is good to retrieve it finally as a whole, but going back to the struct element as returned (WChar) allows to grab it as AutoIt string and avoid binary to string as well.

Sounds good @jchd Also I noticed an error while testing it ;$tChar = DllStructCreate("ushort", DllStructGetPtr($tVolNames) + $i) ;should be $tChar = DllStructCreate("ushort", DllStructGetPtr($tVolNames) + $i - 1) since the current pointer + 1 would be the second byte instead of the first byte as intended

Depending on the use of strings and their semantics, all those characters may occur. The Unicode "invalid character" is essentially guaranteed to be never encountered.

It looks like that fixed it XMan!! (I.e., adding 'False' to the close command for $oReadBook). Going to do some more testing with a larger set of files but looking good in small-scale testing. Thanks again!

One more thing you can try is changing: _Excel_BookClose($oReadBook) To _Excel_BookClose($oReadBook, False) Since $oReadBook is just being read, there no need to save it when closing it. Whatever is causing the extra files and folder, it is probably happening when you save the file. The only files that you are saving over and over is the $oReadBook due to the default for _Excel_BookClose being to save the file. It's worth a shot.

@YawStar I changed the data types in the dll call, and was able to get some test scripts to work without issue. I have attached the updated UDF. Please test to see if it works for you. Permissions-Unicode.au3 Adam
