_StringToTable() – Convert Text\array to a text formatted table The _StringToTable() function allows you to convert structured text (like tab-separated data), or array into a formatted, aligned table using Unicode box-drawing characters. Ideal for displaying readable output in console-based tools or logs. Example1: string to table Local $sData = _ "Company" & @TAB & "Contact" & @TAB & "Revenue" & @CRLF & _ "Alfreds Futterkiste" & @TAB & "Maria Anders" & @TAB & "1200" & @CRLF & _ "Centro Moctezuma" & @TAB & "Francisco Chang" & @TAB & "950" & @CRLF & _ "Island Trading" & @TAB & "Helen Bennett" & @TAB & "15800" ConsoleWrite(_StringToTable($sData, 3, @TAB, "L,C,R") & @CRLF) ┌──────────────────────┬───────────────────┬──────────┐ │ Company │ Contact │ Revenue │ ├──────────────────────┼───────────────────┼──────────┤ │ Alfreds Futterkiste │ Maria Anders │ 1200 │ │ Centro Moctezuma │ Francisco Chang │ 950 │ │ Island Trading │ Helen Bennett │ 15800 │ └──────────────────────┴───────────────────┴──────────┘ Example2: array to table ; Make example array Local $aArray[10][5] For $i = 0 To 9 For $j = 0 To 4 $aArray[$i][$j] = $i & "-" & $j Next Next ;_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "example array") ; Make header and insert to array (when needed) Local $sHeader = "Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|Column 4" _ArrayInsert($aArray, 0, $sHeader) If @error Then Exit MsgBox(16, "@error: " & @error, "Something went wrong with _ArrayInsert()") Local $sOut = _StringToTable($aArray, 3, @TAB, "C,C,C,C,C") ConsoleWrite($sOut & @CRLF & @CRLF) ┌──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐ │ Column 0 │ Column 1 │ Column 2 │ Column 3 │ Column 4 │ ├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤ │ 0-0 │ 0-1 │ 0-2 │ 0-3 │ 0-4 │ │ 1-0 │ 1-1 │ 1-2 │ 1-3 │ 1-4 │ │ 2-0 │ 2-1 │ 2-2 │ 2-3 │ 2-4 │ │ 3-0 │ 3-1 │ 3-2 │ 3-3 │ 3-4 │ │ 4-0 │ 4-1 │ 4-2 │ 4-3 │ 4-4 │ │ 5-0 │ 5-1 │ 5-2 │ 5-3 │ 5-4 │ │ 6-0 │ 6-1 │ 6-2 │ 6-3 │ 6-4 │ │ 7-0 │ 7-1 │ 7-2 │ 7-3 │ 7-4 │ │ 8-0 │ 8-1 │ 8-2 │ 8-3 │ 8-4 │ │ 9-0 │ 9-1 │ 9-2 │ 9-3 │ 9-4 │ └──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘ Example4: Example floating point format $sData = "" ; from https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/212833-json-udf-using-json-c/#findComment-1542670 $sData &= " name | time[ms] | factor | Std.

Nice, thanks. I will share the code, but I won't add the features to your function(s). I would use my own code style and my own use cases. Therefore not all of your frame types will be applied in my version - just to mention it 😆 . In other words, it would not be that dynamic and UDF-like, because I focus on specific use cases not on plenty of variants. Best regards Sven

..had a PC that lost 1% NVMe of heath each day. Why, how ?, no clue. Rebooted the PC and it stopped chewing up the drive. And found out by chance and not because something ( an alarm or anything ) alerted me. Where can I get something that I can use ? Ended up installing smartctl from smartmontools.org. Then is a matter of putting that I need in an array and, have fun with it ? ( code something that will so something ? ..., haven't got there yet ) It looks more like a snippet than an example but this way will be easier to find the post.

Hi @SkysLastChance 👋 , unfortunately Google did some important changes by v136. I guess this should be helpful for you: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/remote-debugging-port The following code is untested, but should 🤞 work: Local $sProfilePath = @UserProfileDir & '\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\AutomationProfile' $sProfilePath = StringReplace($sProfilePath, '\', '\\') Local Const $sDesiredCapabilities = StringFormat( _ '{' & _ ' "capabilities": {' & _ ' "firstMatch": [' & _ ' {}' & _ ' ],' & _ ' "alwaysMatch": {' & _ ' "browserName": "chrome",' & _ ' "goog:chromeOptions": {' & _ ' "args": [' & _ ' "--remote-debugging-port=9222",' & _ ' "--user-data-dir=%s",' & _ ' "--profile-directory=Default"' & _ ' ]' & _ ' }' & _ ' }' & _ ' }' & _ '}', $sProfilePath) I added --remote-debugging-port and changed the profile path ($sProfilePath). Let me/us know if this helps 🤝 . Best regards Sven

@SOLVE-SMART update to Version: 0.2 without leading whitespace in $iFrame = 0 Of course, feel free to use it Adding these features sounds really cool. I can't wait to see the result.

Thanks @ioa747, I like the implementation too 👍 . One little thing: In frame type/mode 0 ($iFrame = 0), the table will be generated without any frame (border). But there is a leading whitespace for each table row which is unnecessary in my opionion. Do you mind to change the code to get rid of that? Of course I could do it on my own, but maybe it's also good for all others here. What do you think? Best regards Sven

This is really nice. I can think of many times where this would have come in handy. It's neat that you have alignment feature too. Thanks for sharing.

Nope, its not an autoit thing - its just the way strings are generally passed under the hood... For Eg: This would actually send a pointer to a wchar array, hence why the doco says use "wstr" for LPWSTR/LPCWSTR datatypes. (Long Pointer to a Wide String, Long Pointer to a Constant Wide String). DllCall("blah.dll", "int", "MyFunc", "wstr", "MyParameter") Your scenario is the same, but in this case $o_TestObj.GetMessage() is outputting a string. So "GetMessage str()" means we expect to see a LPSTR (or equivalent) return type, hence __MyInterface_GetMessage() should return a pointer to a char array... PS. just be careful here - this is not quite right for a bstr... sysallocstring makes a bstr though - so if you need one, I'd suggest just use that.

👉 Introduction There are many questions about using the au3WebDriver project (in other words the WebDriver UDF). Some of them are very similar and recurring, while others are extremely vague, as they often lack information (such as code, website links, website structure and so on). 💡 Idea I came up with the idea of helping those asking questions to be more specific and valuable, so that we as a community would have an easier time answering them. A little help for self-help. The goal is also to be able to quickly refer to common questions and their answers. I'm aware that we already have an FAQ section in the wiki, but unfortunately, it often happens that this isn't sufficient for users. So, despite good preparation and explanations in the wiki, folks still have difficulty formulating their questions. 🎬 Other media / format I am a fan of how-to articles and well written documentations, but nowadays people tend to consume a lot of video tutorials, instead of using the classic media. That's why I decided to create a how-to video tutorial series (only two videos right now, let's see what the time will show). Similar video series exists, created by me for the members of the german AutoIt forum (WebDriver crash course) and they liked it. ⚖ Hints I'm not interested in promoting my YouTube channel or making it grow. I do this for the community, because it's fun and as part of education for people 😇 . 🔮 Plan To spread more knowledge about WebDriver, about browser automation tasks and similar edge topics, I plan to produce several videos which can be classified in the context mentioned. I will reference them here in the thread (because nobody have to, but you're welcome to, subscribe or activate the bell for the yt channel). #chrome-devtools #browser-debugging #xpath #webdriver But don't expect me to upload new videos regularly, because I do this as needed and when I think a topic can add value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔗 Links and videos Playlist: Chrome DevTools (ENG) Related forum threads In the end, it helps me at least, because I save time by avoiding writing the same statements when I reply to the thread. But I'm confident it will help others as well. Best regards Sven

Hey Gianni, quick update, it looks like the native "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Webview" class is not supported within Xaml islands - but we *might* be able to drop in the external "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView2" control. This is part of WinUI2 I believe. Its a bit of a rabbit hole - there's WinUI2 and WinUI3, which seems to be quite different. As I understand it, WinUI3 is still being developed, but its supposed to provide controls for both Win32 and UAP apps. So that might negate the need for islands, and could be the better option in the long run I guess. (albeit we'll likely need dependencies or a runtime etc.)... Either way I'll throw a bit of time at this, it'll be interesting to see what we can tap into.
