Not bad looking, but a cursory inspection (IE I ran it real quick) reveals there's insufficent validation (if any) on the time field. For example "23:00 AM" is apparently a valid time, though who knows when it will be met! Putting simply "23:00" caused a failure. Why not use an "UpDown" control instead of a simple text field, radios to select AM/PM and perhaps a Checkbox to enable 24hr clock? And how about a cancel button? ~bxm

The idea is it changes your IE proxy server setting and reopens all IE windows, that weren't on "about:blank", back at the address they were at before. Without command line options, it just recycles without touching the proxy address. One caveat is that if the true URL has been masked it will reopen the mask, not the true URL. Any ideas? Mostly written for my own edification, but it can serve a semi-useful purpose! The idea came to me because I use Firefox's profiles feature in order to switch proxy servers at work, and Tab Mix Plus to restore the previous session state, but it's a pain in the arse to do the same in IE. The plan for a future version (should I get round to it) is that it would save the current state to a file, and restore that state on request. Comments, suggestions, improvements, critique? ~bxm IERecycle.rar

I'll start by saying this: I've not been working with AutoIt for very long, and my previous brush with programming (rather than cmd/UNIX scripting, which I do a fair bit of) was in PASCAL and ADA in the mid 90's. And I've effectively forgotten everything I learned of them. So please try not to bombard me with too much code wizardry that I may or may not be able to make head nor tail of. Right, so let's get to my query: I won't bore you with the details (unless you want me to) but suffice it to say I need to telnet to a given host, send a few commands, parsing the screen output to determine the current state of play, send a few more commands when conditions are met, disconnect. The second bit isn't essential -- as I can probably get the information I need from a webpage and crunch that -- but it would be nice to know the commands haven't caused errors at runtime, and not have to mess around with the webpage if I can avoid it. Is this going to be anywhere near straightforward? TIA ~bxm

Yeah, like this: @pause > nul ~bxm
