Getting user account

[atzoref 1]

Hi,

By which function can I get the user account which currently runs on windows?

[Beege 45]

Try @username macro.

Thanks, it works.

How can I get the address of Explorer window?

I tried with this:

$strLocalFilderPath = ControlGetText("Title","","[CLASS:ToolbarWindow32; INSTANCE:2]"

but I get this text:

"Address: C:Users......."

I want directly to get only:

"C:Users......."

When I tried:

$strLocalFilderPath = ControlGetText("Title","","[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]"

it returned "" (blank)

What about this >> ?

In the end I use the simple split string:

Local $array = StringSplit("Address: C:Users..............","Address: ",1)

MsgBox(0,"",$array[2])

How can I do the following steps:

1) Sort an "Explorer" window by Date Modified

2) Take the folder's name of the newest

atzoref,

Rather than working with the Explorer GUI, just use _FileListToArray directly to get a list of the folders on that path and then use FileGetTime to check their DTG. Both of those functions work for folders as well as files despite their names.

You can do it without automating the Explorer.

Just read the file structure directly in Autoit.

Melba23,

FileGetTime - is great for me.

But how can I get the newest file from the array which crate by " _FileListToArray "?

(And I don't like so much this method because the folder contains a big amount of subfolders.

Xenobiolog,

Where can I find info on that? (I didn't find).

Thanks.

atzoref,

Xenobiologist basically said to do what I suggested.

Look at the return from FileGetTime - "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS". That means you can use a simple comparison to find the newest:

#include <File.au3>

; Set path
$sPath = "Your_Path"

; Get the folder list
$aList = _FileListToArray($sPath, "*", 2)

; Set the DTG to an artificially low figure
$sMin_DTG = "00000000000000"

For $i = 1 To $aList[0]
    ; Get folder DTG
    $sFolder_DTG = FileGetTime($sPath & "" & $aList[$i], 0, 1)
    ; Compare with current value
    If $sFolder_DTG > $sMin_DTG Then
        $sMin_DTG = $sFolder_DTG
        $sNewest_Folder = $aList[$i]
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "Newest Folder", $sNewest_Folder)

All clear?

A little question about : @ScriptFullPath

It is gives a full path include the filename of the script

How can I get only the path of the directory of the script (without the full filename)?

[Melba23 2,805]

atzoref,

I use these:

Local $sFile = "C:Program FilesAnother DirAutoIt3AutoIt3.chm"

; Full Path with backslash -                         Example returns     "C:Program FilesAnother DirAutoIt3"
Local $sPath = StringRegExpReplace($sFile, "(^.*)(.*)", "1")
ConsoleWrite($sPath & @CRLF)

; Full Path without backslash -                      Example returns     "C:Program FilesAnother DirAutoIt3"
Local $sPathExBS = StringRegExpReplace($sFile, "(^.*)(.*)", "1")
ConsoleWrite($sPathExBS & @CRLF)
