[ SOLVED ] C:\WINDOWS\system32 - what if it isn't ( C:\ )


Recommended Posts

Hello community.

I am on winxp and my drive letter is C:\ so i call something like this ie.

Global $Init_Dir = "C:\"

OR

If WinActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.exe") Then

But if a user has some other drive letter ie. (E:\) how to make the script run correctly if i make it on my pc that has (C:\).

stupid or not quest. i appreciate your advice.

Thank you

Change WinTitleMatchMode() to accept a StringInStr type searching, and just omit the drive letter?

Scratch that... stupid hackaround.

@SystemDir returns "C:\Windows\System32\"

@WindowsDir returns "C:WINDOWS"

It should report the drive correctly if windows is installed on another drive letter.

If WinActive(@SystemDir & "regedit.exe") Then [...]

“Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”

I'm only new to AutoIt, but I do know that running %systemroot% in windows opens the Windows folder regardless of drive letter...

Perhaps there's an equivalent, then you'd just need to do & "system32"

Edit: Ah, sorry, didn't see the edit.

It's all been said already, but for completeness sake.

; Changes how literal strings and % symbols are interpreted. By default strings are treated literally,
; this option allows you to use %environment% variables inside strings, e.g., "The temp directory is: %temp%".
Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1) ; 1 = expand environment variables

; If the system is located on drive D: the results are as stated in the comment.
ConsoleWrite(@SystemDir & @LF) ; D:WINDOWSsystem32
ConsoleWrite(@HomeDrive & @LF) ; D:
ConsoleWrite(EnvGet("systemdrive") & @LF) ; D:
ConsoleWrite("%systemdrive%" & @LF) ; D:
ConsoleWrite("%homedrive%" & @LF) ; D:

Edit: added use of ExpandEnvStrings.
