[HELP]Script Function Error

[GianAutoitprogrammer]

Hellow, Why my script cant write the file...

Here is the code:

;GUI
;1button = $save
;1edit = $editbox2

global $save1, $fileopened2 = 0, $Fileopen2

Case $SAVE1 And $FILEOPENED2 = 1
        Filesetattrib(@Homedrive & "\config.sys", "-RASHOT")
        Filesetattrib(@Homedrive & "\config.sys", "+N")
            $FILEOPEN2 = @Homedrive & "\config.sys"
            FileDelete($FILEOPEN2)
            FileWrite($FILEOPEN2, GUICtrlRead($EDITBOX2))
            _GUICtrlEdit_EmptyUndoBuffer($EDITBOX2)
;It cant write the modified file config.sys!

I need help!

Hellow, Why my script cant write the file...

global $save1, $fileopened2 = 0, $Fileopen2

Case $SAVE1 And $FILEOPENED2 = 1

In your example you have set $fileopened2 = 0 and your Case is expecting 1

@reb No it will turn into 1 because I will click the Save Button in the GUI

The editbox2 = will open the file C:\config.sys and you will edit the config.sys, If you edit it you must click the save button and then the C:\config.sys will be modified...

Try posting script that can be ran in stead of a portion that cannot function on it own.

First of all I would start with error checking for each of the functions you do as currently you have no idea which function is successful and which fails.

GianAutoitprogrammer,

Add some debug code to your script like this so you can see what is going on:

Case $SAVE1 And $FILEOPENED2 = 1

    ; Check we get into the loop
    ConsoleWrite("We are in the loop" & @CRLF)

    $FILEOPEN2 = @Homedrive & "\config.sys"

    ; Check we set the attribs as we wish
    ConsoleWrite("Initial = " & FileGetAttrib($FILEOPEN2) & @CRLF) 
    Filesetattrib($FILEOPEN2, "-RASHOT")
    ConsoleWrite("Next = " & FileGetAttrib($FILEOPEN2) & @CRLF) 
    Filesetattrib($FILEOPEN2, "+N")
    ConsoleWrite("Final = " & FileGetAttrib($FILEOPEN2) & @CRLF) 

    ; Now see if we delete the original
    Local $iRet = FileDelete($FILEOPEN2)
    ConsoleWrite("Deletion = " & $iRet & @CRLF)

    ; And finally see if we write to the new file
    $iRet = FileWrite($FILEOPEN2, GUICtrlRead($EDITBOX2))
    ConsoleWrite("Writing = " & $iRet & @CRLF)

    _GUICtrlEdit_EmptyUndoBuffer($EDITBOX2)

Now you can see if your commands are being successfully executed.

What OS are you running? If it is Vista or Win7 I would hazard a guess that you are not amending the config.sys file at all. If that is the case, then try adding #RequireAdmin at the top of your script.

Jos,

And a good morning to you as well!

The variables $fileopened2, $Fileopen2, $FILEOPENED2 and $FILEOPEN2 will probably conflict with each other.
