File Search

[AJJ]

can you see what the problem is?

[Scriptonize]

Is "_INetSmtpMailCom" a function you wrote?

I'm only aware of "_INetSmtpMail" and that UDF doesn't mention attachments.

[[EDIT]] Never mind, I just found that UDF in another thread.

[[EDIT2]]

I 've used it like this and that seems to work:

Code snippet....

#include <array.au3>
;my vars
Global $arrAttachments
Global $Attachment
Global $MyFolder = "C:\Tmp"

;fill the array with files...
$arrAttachments = _FileListToArray($MyFolder,"file.*",1)

;When we have found files, add the full path to the found files in the array...
If IsArray($arrAttachments) Then
    For $i = 1 to UBound($arrAttachments) - 1
        $arrAttachments[$i] = $MyFolder & "\" & $arrAttachments[$i]
    Next
     ;this line is used to check the content of the array (it's not needed for the function)
    _ArrayDisplay($arrAttachments)
Else   ;no files no mail, beep as warning (not needed, just added for convenience)
    Beep(75,100)
    Exit
EndIf

;create the attachment string, separated by semicolons...
For $i = 1 To UBound($arrAttachments) - 1
    $Attachment = $Attachment & $arrAttachments[$i] & ";"
Next

;start spamming my mailbox.....
$result = _INetSmtpMailCom("My Mailserver","My friendly name here", "my.name@mymailserver.com","your.name@yourmailserver.com", "MySubject" ,"MyMessageBody",$Attachment,"")

;If there is an error show it....
If $result = 0 Then $result = @error
ConsoleWrite("$result= " & $result & @CRLF)
Exit

hey, ok cool that looks better, but it still says unknown function name on the _filelisttoarray, do i have to include that other code as an array.au3 in the same directory?

also, where do i put in my password for gmail? also, what is the my server name?

also, dont i have to attache the smtp.au3?

[nfaustin]

#Include <File.au3> is for function _FileListToArray()

As I wrote above my example:

Code snippet

It's just a part of the whole story.

You need to combine your code with those parts that are useful to you.

dude, you legend!! it works!! w000t

thank you so much, i added all my bits in and its all running smoothly now. im just now trying it with a really big folder, what would you have to do to limit the size of files sent? like customise the size so that it would take certain files of certain sizes or maybe from certain times, that might be asking a bit much, i dont want to be greedy, im very happy with the script now! it just made me think because i guess gmail must have a limit it can upload and download...

intersting!

[AJJ]

thats awesome, ive got it to upload some really quite large files! i wonder what happens when it gets too much. also another just generic Autoit question, why dont we make all of the variables global just in case they might be used else where as some point?

[AJJ]

also just another little question, is there any tools with AUTOit that allow you to look at the explaintion and different sub bits within the code (not just going to the appropriate text file) infact that would be an awesome little program to write, something that explains the function, macro etc. when you hold your curser over it!

Limit on file size send/receive or mailbox size are server side settings.

It's up to the owner of the server what settings he uses.

[AJJ]

but am i right in thinking that if the script has more than 10 meg worth of files to send it just wont work?

As far as I know about Gmail, mailbox size will not be a problem.

File size limitation settings I don't know.

Just try it, you will receive an error if the size is to big.

[AJJ]

this is weird, it lets you send "file.*" and *.txt but not *.*, why is that?

[AJJ]

is there any way to limit how many files it sends at once? or put a limit on how much worth of data it can send at once?

[AJJ]

also, and sorry for all these questions, but is it possible to easily make it search sub directories?

[AJJ]

is there somewhere on these forums to ask the random questions like these? dont want to mess us the system or anything,

AJJ,

I gave you a function to search in subfolders in your other topic - you can find it here. As I said at the time, it actually uses functionality only found in the current Beta to work - if you are using 3.3.0.0 or earlier, let me know and I will post an amended version. It just takes a bit longer to complete with the "older" code.

As to random questions: the rule is generally that if it has something to do with the content of the previous posts, add a post - if it is on a different matter altogether, start a new topic. So I would say you are doing fine at present. The only problem is that once topics last too long, the chances of a newcomer entering the topic diminish - I only looked in here because i saw your name and helped in your other topic.

so with that function you gave me can i now just put that in a use it like this:

_functionyougaveme(@scriptdir & "subfolder" & "*.txt")?

what sort of commands might i be able to use?

[AJJ]

ps, ive installed the beta!

[Melba23]

AJJ,

All the instructions are in the file header - play about with the function until you understand how it works.

; Syntax.........: _RecFileListToArray($sPath[, $sInclude_List = "*"[, $iReturn = 0[, $fRecur = 0[, $sExclude_List = ""[, $iFullPath = 0]]]]])

To give a quick idea, to list all the .txt files in the script folder and all subfolders, you would use:

_RecFileListToArray((@scriptdir & "\" & "subfolder", "*.txt", 1, 1)

Remember that @ScriptDir does NOT have a trailing backslash!

But as a matter of principle you should never just blindly use functions in your code when you are unsure of the results they give. I would strongly urge that you use _ArrayDisplay to check the results of some tests first.

;-----

If you use the full SciTE4AutoIt3 package (and if not, why not? You gain a lot!) you will need to set it up to run the Beta release. Go to "Options -> Open au3 Properties". About line 33 you will see:

## Switch used to Enable/Disable all Tools used for AutoIt3 Beta

BETA_AUTOIT=

Make sure that it =1 and not =0. Then save the file (you may have to restart SciTE as well - I cannot remember) and you will have a whole new set of "Beta" options in the "Tools" menu. For my function to work, you need to run or compile your script using these "Beta" options as it uses a functionality which at the moment is only available in the Beta release.

Have fun!

hey again, i got it searching sub folders by changing the default settings in the _recfilelistoarray, and then the array display said that i had found them ok, and when i closed it was clearly working for a while and then just did nothing! why would that be (it worked before i changed it to _recfilelist... just using the old find array function.

am i right in thinking that the light blue functions that you use are the default ones built into the program and compiler and the ones that show up as black such as "_recfileslisttoarray" are outside ones that have to be attached seperately?
