Unless you have a legal time assiting you in writing our EULA, you are most likely digging yourself a hole. Legalese is a tricky business.

You could have done it in one command using my _ScreenScrape UDF =)

Or you could replace that second part with something like this: $alphabetsoup = StringSplit('z,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,a',',') $location = _ArrayBinarySearch($alphabetsoup,$sz_t) - 1 Return $alphabetsoup[$location]

that thing works really well thanks! <h2[^>]*>(.*?)</h2>

It appears that (<h2>.+</h2>) is the correct way. I could still go for that DllCall. I don't plan on learning a non-standard implementation of something so widely used across languages.

I remember someone posting it but I can't find it. The built in regular expression engine just doesn't work correctly. I've verified that \<h2\>.+\<\/h2\> should match h2 tags with anything at all inbetween them, but the built in engine chokes on the 12th character colon in <h2>Template:Spanish-name and Template:Chinese-name</h2>. According to the help file, a period should Match any single character. Apparantly not! Anyway, if anyone knows where that dll is that would be helpful.

You're trying to crack Captcha's with AutoIt? You must be nuts.

I developed this because I am working with a program that does not have traditional GUI controls, meaning it definitely did not respect @SW_HIDE, and I wanted to completely move it off the screen before it had a chance to think. I was successful except for the brief flash of the splash screen. With this snippet of code and some trial and error timing, I was able to freeze the splash screen and get the title. As you will see with this code, notepad is frozen so quickly that it doesn't have a chance to draw the GUI. You will need to download process explorer from sysinternals and drop procexp.exe in your @WindowsDir. ;$letter equals the first letter of the process name. ;If the process will be the second, third etc... starting ;with that letter, enter the key n times to arrive at the ;correct process, e.g, _suspend('notepad.exe','nnn) $process = 'notepad.exe' $letter = 'n' Run($process,'',@SW_HIDE) _suspend($process,$letter) Func _suspend($process,$letter) Run("procexp.exe",'',@SW_HIDE) WinActivate("Process") ControlSend("Process",'',101,$letter & "!p{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{ENTER}") ProcessClose("procexp.exe") EndFunc Edit: Just call _suspend() again to resume the process! suspend.au3

I just modified larry's example to send a file from the server to the client, but it gets chopped off at around 500 bytes in length. I don't have time to modify it to send the data in smaller chunks, but it would be pretty easy. To use it, type 'fsend' on the server, and pick a text file, then click ok. When you close the client, it will write the first ~500 bytes of the server's text file to a file called "proofofconcept.txt" on your desktop... TCP_server_client.rar

Matching only the first instance of something happens in your script, not in the expression. I leave translating this into AutoIt's homemade implementation an exercise for the reader. [a-zA-z]{1}[:\\][\d+|\w+|\s+\\]+[\d+|\w+|\s+]\.\w{3} Matches: C:\te43 st\fc oo\bar\ex ample.txt. <-- but not the period Doesn't match: Anything it shouldn't as far as I could tell

Sure there is

I can see it now. A peer to peer program that actually works written in AutoIt.

I wonder, what of the possibility of then handling exceptions in the functions themselves by ByRef'ing them the for loops variable and allowing them to increment/decrement them. And it works. This is great, a never-ending loop: Global $a For $a = 1 to 2 _decrement($a) Next Func _decrement(ByRef $a) $a = $a - 1 EndFunc
