Now even the post # 3!!! This interface is a absolute madness...

You see, I can edit the message, not the first and third!

Strange! Nice UDF on the (what appears to be) new Brazilian forum!

I also saw your version of _GetOSLangString.au3 which is a very different approach to how I did it >>

@guinness

Thank you, and I didn't know you had also done (_GetOSLang*) quite a while that did not sign in here!

This interface is now a horrible, discouraged me, and now has the http://www.autoitbrasil.com - I posted a lot there, but when I saw this update...

Does your registration there too to provide a force to the people!

It appears that the spoiler tags break the interface. For now, do not use them.

Great work João, I could not for the life of me track down a stable registry entry to poll for this information! A potential way to speed the function up while maintaining core functionality is to loose the "__PathSplitNew()" function and instead use regex, like this:

Func _GetDefBrowser()
$browser = StringRegExp(RegRead("HKCR\http\shell\open\command", ""), '(?i).(\:)(.*)exe', 2)
return $browser[0]
EndFunc
[list=1][*]Generic way to detect full path to default browser, List/ListView Events Using GuiRegisterMsg (detect doubleclick and much more)[*]Using dllcall for full control over fileopendialog, Make DirMove act somewhat normally (by circumventing it...)[*]Avoid problems with "&" (chr(38)) in code, Change desktop maximized area/workspace (fx to make deskbar type app)[*]Change focus behavior when buttons are clicked to work closer to 'standard windows' app[*](Context) Menus With Timed Tooltips, Fast Loops & Operators in AU3[*]Clipboard UDF, A clipboard change notification udf[/list]

Func _GetDefBrowser()
    Local Static $s_reg = RegRead("HKCR\http\shell\open\command", "")
    Return StringRegExpReplace($s_reg, "(.*?\x22)(.*?[\\/])*(.*?)(\x22.*?\z)", "$3")
EndFunc

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

@SmOke_N,

Perfect, thanks!

But please, tells me how this code "(.*?\x22)(.*?[\\/])*(.*?)(\x22.*?\z)", "$3" only returns the name.extension?

I think I'll never understand how this function works!

João Carlos.

(.*?\x22) - capture everything to and including the double quote

(.*?[\\/])* - capture everything to forward ( or backward ) slash ( * means to repeat until there is no more pattern like this to capture )

(.*?)(\x22.*?\z) - capture everything to the double quote, then capture the double quote and everything after to the end of the string.

The 3rd pattern group (.*?) is what we want, so we use "$3" in the 3rd param of StringRegExpReplace() function.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
