This is rather useless to the general public here. Please consider not using the example forum as your personal snippet archive. There are plenty of useful scripts in here that can assist you with that task however.

Does what is says on the tin I suppose.

I have a question which has arisen from trying this.

Anyone explain why the notepad window doses not ask if I want to save the file?

[Laymanball]

modify code.

Save as file.log. When exit notepad.

;=================================Library========================================
#Include <File.au3>
Func _FilesListToNotepadDisPlay($sPath)
    $hSearch = FileFindFirstFile($sPath&'\*.*')
    If $hSearch = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error!", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Return
    EndIf
    $output = ""
    Do
    $sFile = FileFindNextFile($hSearch)
    $output = $output&$sFile&@CRLF
    Until $sFile = ''
    FileClose($hSearch)
    Run("Notepad.exe")
    WinWait("[Class:Notepad]")
    ControlSetText("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", $output)
    WinSetTitle("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Files list Info")
    WinMove("[Class:Notepad]", "", 216, 200, 572, 305)
    $Text = ControlGetText("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Edit1")
    If WinWaitNotActive("[Class:Notepad]")Then
    $btn = MsgBox(36, "", "Do you wanted save file.log")
    If $btn <> 7 Then _FileWriteLog(@DesktopDir&"\Files List.log", ""&@CRLF&$Text)
    EndIf
    Return
EndFunc ;==>FilesListToNotepadDisPlay

Why in the world are you sending it to Notepad with the variable $output, and then reading the contents of Notepad and putting it into $Text to save it to a file? Just save the $output information directly to the file and avoid the whole BS of using Notepad in the first place.

I get the impression the author is a beginner, so I don't know why the fury accompanys the tips.

@ Laymanball: I was not asking you to alter the code, my question was a general one that notepad usually asks to be saved when its contents have changed.

I'm going to assume for now its something to do with the owner, but I'm just guessing.
