That worked, Thank you very much. I was using ChatGPT but no matter how I worded it or what I gave it it just couldn't figure it out. Thanks again!

So I have a GUI that creates a listbox with some items in it. when the gui starts it reads a list of items to select from a sqlite db and stores it in an array ($sItemsToSelect). At least it should. The issue is that its not selecting any items and im not sure why. The below example I believe demonstrates this. When the example gui below starts I am expecting it to select Items 1 and Items 3. Can someone help me correct the below please? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiListBox.au3> Global $hGUI = GUICreate("Test GUI", 175, 120) Global $idList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 150, 100) GUICtrlSetData($idList, "Item 1|Item 2|Item 3|Item 4") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) Global $aItemsToSelect = StringSplit("Item 1|Item 3", "|", 2) _SelectItems($idList, $aItemsToSelect) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd Func _SelectItems($idList, $aItemsToSelect) Local $hList = GUICtrlGetHandle($idList) ConsoleWrite("Selecting specified items..." & @CRLF) Local $iFound, $sItem, $iErrCount = 0 _GUICtrlListBox_SetSel($hList, False, -1) For $i = 0 To UBound($aItemsToSelect) - 1 $sItem = $aItemsToSelect[$i] $iFound = _GUICtrlListBox_FindString($hList, $sItem) If $iFound = -1 Then ConsoleWriteError("Item '" & $sItem & "' not found in ListBox." & @CRLF) $iErrCount += 1 Else _GUICtrlListBox_SetSel($hList, True, $iFound) ConsoleWrite("Selected item: '" & $sItem & "' at index " & $iFound & @CRLF) EndIf Next If $iErrCount > 0 Then MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Error", "One or more items could not be selected. Check the console for details.") Else ConsoleWrite("All items selected successfully." & @CRLF) EndIf EndFunc Many Thanks in Advance!

I dont really care so much about the IV or even using block chain so much. Im just looking for a somewhat simple/easy way of encrypting a string from outside of au3 with a key/or password and being able to decrypt it with the same key in au3. Im trying to use this meathod for encrypting data send across a au3 tcp server from a android tablet or other platforms that can send raw tcp/udp data to a au3 tcp server. Doesnt have to be top notch encryption just something basic or at least better than none. ~SG

Thanks. At least my train of thought is somewhat valid. How would I set the IV in au3? ~GD

The code I am referring to to encrypt a string in au3 is from the help "_Crypt_EncryptData.au3". I am using that as an example. It works great and serves its purpose as an example. But the encrypted string is 0x0blahblahblah. I can decrypt that same string using the other au3 decrypt script, but what I am after is the ability to generate a string from something like android/webpage/*nix etc.. but with the correct key can be decrypted by au3. None of the websites or android type apps iv played with encrypt a string where the encrypted string is in the same format as au3. Im not an expert at all on encryption but I wouldn't call myself a complete noob at it either. my thinking was that if I used some type or common encryption also such as aes128/256 or something on both ends with the same key I should be heading in the correct direction. Thanks for the reply. I will check out that website you refer to. ~GD

I have 2 very basic scripts. One (from au3 help) that Encrypts a string with a given algo. The encrypted string is something like 0x099363CB45F3F6903ADA0E7100D971ED42632A58DAA78A2C0DB8158B7D20F777. The other script decrypts an encrypted string to a proper string. but only works on au3 encrypted strings/encrypted strings My issue is that, if I go to a website such as https://encode-decode.com/aes256-encrypt-online/ for example and create an encrypted string with a password how can I decode that string in au3? The format of the encrypted string is totally different than one encrypted by au3. Even when I use the same aes256 algo and key! Thanks, GD

Just wanted to say Thanks for this UDF/Library/API/Goodness! ~GD

Thank you for that thread. That's even better than my current approach. Thanks again! ~SG

Thanks, Forgot to mention sorry. Yes there are other switches about 4 to be exact. They all work as long as the values individually doesnt contains spaces.

I found the below code on the forum a while back when searching around. I have a script that uses the below code that when the compiled script runs with the /Name= switch is reads the part after the = in order to get the value and set the value as $var or in the below case $GetCMDLineValue. It works great if there is no spaces in the value specified. Normally I would put quotes around the value and off it goes but no matter how I format it I only gets the leftside of the first space. There may be a metter way of doing this but this is what I came up with so far based on what I read and found! How can I make it so I can pass /Name="This is a Value" and have $GetCMDLineValue get set as "This is a Value"? $GetCmdLine = $CmdLineRaw $GetCmdLine1 = '/Name=' Global $GetCmdLineValue = StringMid($GetCmdLine, (StringInStr($GetCmdLine, $GetCmdLine1) + StringLen($GetCmdLine1) + 0), StringInStr($GetCmdLine, " ", 0, 1, StringInStr($GetCmdLine, $GetCmdLine1) + StringLen($GetCmdLine1)) - (StringInStr($GetCmdLine, $GetCmdLine1) + StringLen($GetCmdLine1))) MsgBox(0,"",$GetCmdLineValue) Thanks in advance, ~GD

Whenever I register "_OnAutoItErrorRegister('', '', 'My App Error', False, False)" at the top my a test script and run the uncompiled script in SciTe, debugging to scite console seems to stop. Is this expected behavior? How can I use this error handler and still debug to scite console when running uncompiled scripts in SciTe? ConsoleWrite() seems to not show in SciTe console! Thanks ~SG

Yes I agree with your 'you need to recast your entire "main/include" philosophy!' part. I have become accustomed to what I think are some bad scripting habits and introduce some if not a lot of the misc issue I end up having. Thanks for the immediate problem part. I always thought that includes needed to be at the top of my script before the global $vars. ~GD

So I have created a so-called 'master/main' include that basically has a ton of udfs that I have collected over time that I commonly use in my many projects. An issue I have running into is I am looking to set some global $vars in my main script that are used in my master include. I tried setting them as globals in my main script but they dont seem to carry over to my include. Its as though the include is read and $vars are processed before my main script is read at compile time. When I try to compile my main script it complains that $vars in my master/include have not been defined yet when they have been in my main project script. If that makes sense. Hope that makes sense and thanks for any feedback. ~GD

Thanks for that link. I check it out. It helped a little. With it I am able to get an array listing all my desktop icons and there positions and even convert the array into a string but I am struggling to extract just the position/column/row of the one icon I am interested in. I tried to use the various string functions but cant help but think that, that is not the right approach. ~GD
