Notepad problem?

[cjwessel]

I have created a script that opens a Notepad element and does a replace of a string. This looks like it works fine.

Where in run into problems is if the search string does not exist then Note pad closed but the script does not.

What can I do to check the error conditions with Notepad?

WinWaitActive("display.html - Notepad")

Send("!E")

Send("R")

Send("!ndisplay")

Send("!pwhy")

Send("!A")

Send("{ESC}{ESC}")

; Now quit by pressing Alt-f and then x (File menu -> Exit)

Send("!f")

Send("x")

; Now a screen will pop up and ask to save the changes, the window is called

; "Notepad" and has some text "Yes" and "No"

WinWaitActive("Notepad")

Send("y")

Why not just read the text from the Edit1 control, modify it with AutoIt and then write it back?

WinWaitActive("display.html - Notepad")
$hNotepad = WinGetHandle("display.html - Notepad")
$sText = ControlGetText($hNotepad, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")
StringReplace($sText, "display", "why")
ControlSetText($hNotepad, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")

For that matter, why bother with Notepad at all? You could FileRead()/StringReplace()/FileWrite() event easier.
