Help with bat to gui

[Iain]

Afternoon All,

I was recommended Autoit to help GUI my batch file and make it more user friendly. When Openeing my batch file with SciTE it finds several syntax issues eg - CD\

Does it have the capability of correcting these or can you suggest what the best way to convert to au3 would be so I can create my .exe?

I have done a search on the site, but might be missing the obvious?

Any help would be appreciated.

All the best,

Iain.

Iain,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

I am afraid that there is rather more to converting bat files to AutoIt code than just opening them in SciTE. You need to understand the syntax of AutoIt so you can replace the DOS commands with new ones.

Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

You will find that there is no great difficulty in converting bat files to AutoIt code - once you have got the hang of it you will wonder what the problem was. But you do need to take a while to get to grips with the various functions first. Good luck - you know where we are if you get stuck!

P.S. I have just seen your code - in future when you post code please use Code tags. Put [autoit] before and [/autoit] after your posted code - it then appears in nice scrollable boxes. You cannot edit your posts until you have made a few more - I will ask a Mod to do it for you in this case.

M23,

Thanks for the informative reply mate! Appreciate it!! I will hit the help files and hopefully one day I will look back and think what the fuss was about haha.

Again, much appreciated.

Iain.

To get you on your way have a look at Run(), StringInStr(), ConsoleWrite(), FileCopy(), DirCopy(), DirCreate() & DriveGetDrive() to name but a few. Good Luck!
