Hello,

[Mozzy]

i'm new here, Hi to all

i'm not a programmer,

i need help making a small program, thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

i need a small app that will ask you to input any url you want to block, and it will block it in the hosts (e.i. 127.0.0.1 www.google.com).

an easy to use and friendly tool:)

here is the code i came up with so far:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("blocking app", 330, 66)
Global $Block = GUICtrlCreateButton("Block", 256, 8, 65, 49)
Global $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 8, 32, 241, 21)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
Global $Enter = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter url to block and click on 'Block'", 8, 8, 179, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
  Case $Input1 = @SystemDir & "\drivers\etc\hosts"
EndSwitch
WEnd

Welcome, in the future please make the title of your topics a little more descriptive e.g. Problem adding URL to the HOSTS file.

Searching the forum with the keyword(s) host file UDF gave me this >>

Hi guinness,

Sorry, i will make sure for next time.

i did search and found the same link that you posted, i'm really a beginner, it looks to me like a easy 5 line code, but i cant seem to figure it out, can any one please write the code for me? ( i'm not a programmer).

Thank you very much

Mossy you can change the name click on edit button at your first post. Noone can write code for you, this is a good start:

$strHost = @SystemDir & "driversetchosts"
$tcpIP = @IPAddress1
$sWhat = "localhost"

$hFile = FileOpen($strHost, 1) ; The 1 parameter just appends to the end of the file
FileWrite($hFile, $tcpIP & " " & $sWhat)
FileClose($hFile)
