Jonniy Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 So, I have no idea what this could be. In the doc it sais: $hFile Handle to the file. I tried the path and FileOpen, but both didn't cut it. What do I have to input, to get the type of a file?? Sincerely, -Jonniy- Thanks for your help & have a good day. Yours sincerely, -Jonniy-
Kilmatead Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 See _WinAPI_CreateFileEx in the <WinAPIEx.au3> source file for opening the appropriate type of handle. However, unless you are interested in identifying one of these object-types specifically, _WinApi_GetFileType may not be the droid you're looking for...

Okay I just realized, that this doesn't return the *.[type]. That is bad. Anyway, how would I get the extension then, Just FileList'em, and then a regex? What would be the expression for that. I'm not good in regex.. Thanks for your help & have a good day. Yours sincerely, -Jonniy-
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 26, 2013 Moderators Posted November 26, 2013 Jonniy,You can get the extension like this: $sFileName = "C:\path\name.ext" $sExt = StringRegExpReplace($sFileName, "^.*\.", "") ConsoleWrite($sExt & @CRLF)M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area
MadaraUchiha Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Is it also possible to get the Type as name, not as extension? So like I have a Function where I can set as Parameter something like this: Func MyFileType($Ext) Return Type EndFunc So If I Input .exe it should output 'Apllication', If I Input '.txt' it should output 'Textdocument'. Similar to this with Parameter 2?: expandcollapse popup#include <array.au3> ;=============================================================================== ; Function Name: GetExtProperty($sPath,$iProp) ; Description: Returns an extended property of a given file. ; Parameter(s): $sPath - The path to the file you are attempting to retrieve an extended property from. ; $iProp - The numerical value for the property you want returned. If $iProp is is set ; to -1 then all properties will be returned in a 1 dimensional array in their corresponding order. ; The properties are as follows: ; Name = 0 ; Size = 1 ; Type = 2 ; DateModified = 3 ; DateCreated = 4 ; DateAccessed = 5 ; Attributes = 6 ; Status = 7 ; Owner = 8 ; Author = 9 ; Title = 10 ; Subject = 11 ; Category = 12 ; Pages = 13 ; Comments = 14 ; Copyright = 15 ; Artist = 16 ; AlbumTitle = 17 ; Year = 18 ; TrackNumber = 19 ; Genre = 20 ; Duration = 21 ; BitRate = 22 ; Protected = 23 ; CameraModel = 24 ; DatePictureTaken = 25 ; Dimensions = 26 ; Width = 27 ; Height = 28 ; Company = 30 ; Description = 31 ; FileVersion = 32 ; ProductName = 33 ; ProductVersion = 34 ; Requirement(s): File specified in $spath must exist. ; Return Value(s): On Success - The extended file property, or if $iProp = -1 then an array with all properties ; On Failure - 0, @Error - 1 (If file does not exist) ; Author(s): Simucal (Simucal@gmail.com) ; Note(s): ; ;=============================================================================== Func _GetExtProperty($sPath, $iProp) Local $iExist, $sFile, $sDir, $oShellApp, $oDir, $oFile, $aProperty, $sProperty $iExist = FileExists($sPath) If $iExist = 0 Then SetError(1) Return 0 Else $sFile = StringTrimLeft($sPath, StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1)) $sDir = StringTrimRight($sPath, (StringLen($sPath) - StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1))) $oShellApp = ObjCreate ("shell.application") $oDir = $oShellApp.NameSpace ($sDir) $oFile = $oDir.Parsename ($sFile) If $iProp = -1 Then Local $aProperty[35] For $i = 0 To 34 $aProperty[$i] = $oDir.GetDetailsOf ($oFile, $i) Next Return $aProperty Else $sProperty = $oDir.GetDetailsOf ($oFile, $iProp) If $sProperty = "" Then Return 0 Else Return $sProperty EndIf EndIf EndIf EndFunc $path = FileOpenDialog("Select a file to read attributes",@ScriptDir,"All (*.*)") $prop = _GetExtProperty($path,-1) _ArrayDisplay($prop,"Property Array") But with a DLLCall, not a ObjCreate?

MadaraUchiha Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Yes, but this uses an ObjCreate method. I don't know why, but in some cases this ObjCreate methods don't work properly :/ I thought a DLLCall to the specified .dll file is more reliable? So I am searching for a way to get the Filetype (Not extension!) using a dllcall. but how?
BrewManNH Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 The objects being used are using Shell32.dll, so your argument doesn't make a lot of sense in this case. As to the actual type of a file, that isn't something that can be determined without examining the internals of the file itself. Windows doesn't maintain that, it goes by the extension of the file. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

JohnOne Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 There are certain default applications associated with file extensions. You'd probably have to do some sort of registry voodoo to create the function you want.
