Well... Ok, I give up. I understood the situation. I will play around with the M23 version and post any new results only here. (Although the dll calls are kind of beyond my programmer limits.) I appreciate (very very much) your help offer, so, I will return if I get stuck in any point. Good vibes. Retrocomp.

M23, I´m trying to capture a printer spool from DOSBOX. To capture the file prints tossed from DOSBOX and print in Windows. Thanks for the clarification. I'll go with your FileGetAttrib tip for now. It is to avoid my program trying to print a created Folder instead a file, for example And it needs to print only freshly created files, never files altered or renamed by the user. Is there a way to get in touch with the seangriffin? I´m thinking about getting a ticket from Bugtracker, and send a formal bug report to Autoit programmers. I do believe this monitor function is very and broadly useful, and should become an "Standard UDF" and maintained properly as this. (Who knows, maybe I get the people in good mood and this works.)

Hi Melba23, Thanks for responding and thanks for the code. I´m testing your version and example and it is all simpler to understand the results. Although, I still have some questions about your version. 1. Is there a way to know if the triggered event was for a file or a folder? 2. The same event (ex: deleting a folder) is triggered more than once. Is it normal? 3. How know I if a file was renamed? What are the other Event ID codes? 4. Your mod example uses only the "directory monitoring". When (and why, and how) should I use the shell monitoring? Again, thanks for helping. []s RetroComp

This thread seems to be dead by now. I have trouble with this UDF, and started a new topic here bye.

Hello, I´m trying to use the FileSystemMonitor UDF from SeanGriffin released here: The original thread seems like old and dead, but the functionality of this UDF is very useful. (Actually, after some research, I found this the best and up-to-date solution available in Google. Is there any other way to perform such task, like monitoring folder and files changes?) That´s the original files from seangriffin´s topic: FileSystemMonitor example.au3 4.14K 1762 downloads Latest Version - v0.4 (02/05/10) FileSystemMonitor.au3 15.25K 2181 downloads There´s something weird with this UDF and examples. I´m trying to run these here in my computer, but the "FileSystemMonitor example.au3" doesn't gives me much information. Practically, it only gives something like this: |Folder or non-folder has changed |SHCNEUPDATEITEM(0x00002000)| name and path of the file or folder, occasionally) | Little vague isn't it? I can create, erase, update files (or folders) in the monitored folder, and the answer is always that above. How would I know if the changed object is a file or a folder? Or if it was created, erased or updated? (Although the info received about renaming files or folders is OK.) The result described was compiled in x86 executable script. (I tried to compile in x64 script, but it does not work at all.) I tried to run with admin rights and without it, same result. I´m using: Windows Vista’s’ Home Premium Service Pack 2 - x64 Notebook HP dv6750br - Processor: AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1,90 GHz Memory (RAM): 4,00 GB - Brazilian keyboard. and AutoIt v3.3.8.1 In the image below, I created the ww.txt, edited with Word, and after, edited with Notepad. (You can´t tell what I did just seeing the log.) I will be thankful with any help. []s Retrocomp
