@Jos If you can encrypt your fingerprint scan, and decrypt it in your script that wouldn't be manipulative. Actually, not sure how using a file of your fingerprint or your actual fingerprint is any different. If you can encrypt your scan, then anyone who happened to get the file would still need the decryption key or it would be useless. But yes, I can see why this would be hard to accomplish.

Bloomberg...They have there own fingerprint scanner, a USB connected scanner. Not sure, but I'd assume most fingerprint scanners work the same.

I have a number of applications that need to be opened early in the am. I have the script running well, the issue is one of the applications requires a fingerprint scan. Is there any way to scan the fingerprint to a file and submit it, so the whole process can be seamless?

Well I checked all the services that run in my scripts, and some got turned off during the update. That was the issue. The scripts run now.

I just updated my PC to Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, build 1903 (from the prior build of Windows 10) None of compiled scripts run now. I deleted the exe's and re-compiled them but they still won't run. I tried running them as admin, still won't run. Has anyone run into this issue when upgrading their machines?

@FrancescoDiMuro Found it, use InetGet

@FrancescoDiMuro Download it, is different than opening it? How do you download files from the cloud?

Can files be read from the web or the cloud? I am trying to read this file but get the file open error. #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ;Assign the file path to a variable Local $sFilePath = "C:\Automation\test.txt" Local $sFilePathAzure ="https://batlgroupimages.blob.core.windows.net/files/test.txt" Local $nLineNumberToLookFor = 0 ;Open the file test.txt in append mode. ;If the folder C:\Automation does not exist, it will be created. Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePathAzure, $FO_APPEND + $FO_CREATEPATH) ;Display a message box in case of any errors. If $hFileOpen = -1 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred while opening the file.") EndIf ;Set the file position to beginning for reading the data from the beginning of the file. FileSetPos($hFileOpen, 0, $FILE_BEGIN) ;Read the data from the file using the handle returned by FileOpen ;Local $sFileRead = FileRead($hFileOpen) ;Read the 2nd line of data from the file using the handle returned by FileOpen Local $sFileReadLine = FileReadLine ($hFileOpen,2) ;Close the handle returned by FileOpen. FileClose($hFileOpen)

Great point. Ill adjust the last parameter

The answer is yes, I removed the third parameter and it works as expected. I misread the third parameter, I thought it waited 5 seconds after being active. Thanks for the help

So then what is the difference between the two? I thought WinWaitActive waits until that window becomes active? If I remove the optional third parameter will it just wait til it is active?

I am writing a morning routine to open all the trading applications I require each day in the early morning. Since they are closing and re-opening while I'm asleep, speed isn't much of a requirement. My first real heavy duty script with AutoIT I currently use Sleep(30000) to allow one of the longer opening apps to complete, but I would prefer to do it by capturing when the program load completes (The floating toolbar becomes active) I tried using the following and eliminating the Sleep command WinWaitActive("X_TRADER Pro - TDFL_Jupiter2","",5) since the toolbar opens first but is not active until all the other screens open. The script just continues on BEFORE the toolbar becomes active, which fouls the next steps as text isn't going where it should since other windows are opening and becoming active. Any help appreciated.

thanks I just found the WebDriver info from another post

I am new to AutoIT so my apologies if this is trivial, but I am only finding IE references. Is there a library besides the IE one to control browser windows? I will not use IE, only Edge or Chrome (possibly FireFox if there is no other choice) I have the script I am working on doing everything it needs to do but the last item, opening a webpage and signing in runs into a snag as there is an accept dialog screen, that displays after login, that must be okayed It is the active window, so I need to get the Button element, set its focus and click it (it is only enabled/clickable via javascript when you hover over it, greyed out otherwise)

Of course I eliminated the starting C:\ because I could see that wasn't necessary with the parameter and I added the /c switch and it works fine. Thanks for leading me in the right direction. I always answer the replies with any further questions, before I try new code, so hopefully I get an answer right after re-failing ((-;
