_ScreenCapture_SaveImage not saving images

[Ashen]

Hey Guys,

I am running a very simple code intended to create a screenshot of a part of my screen.

My problem is that only the first screenshot I take is saved (and even that doesn't always happen), but then after I call my function for the second time the older screenshot is not over-written (and if I delete the old screenshot then no new screenshot is created).

Here's my code:

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

dim $sFilePath = "E:\tmp.BMP"
dim $OCR_Rectangle[4] = ["760", "480", "1068", "522"]

_ScreenCapture_SaveImage($sFilePath, _ScreenCapture_Capture("",$OCR_Rectangle[0], $OCR_Rectangle[1], $OCR_Rectangle[2], $OCR_Rectangle[3],False),True)

I am losing hope here, guys. Any chance any of you have any idea what's going on?

Why are you nesting the _ScreenCapture functions?
 
_ScreenCapture_Capture($sFilePath,$OCR_Rectangle[0], $OCR_Rectangle[1], $OCR_Rectangle[2], $OCR_Rectangle[3],False)

should also do it.

Thanks for the input, UEZ, but I already tried that (and I re-tried it just now) and it still has the same results - no file is saved.

Check out the coordinates you want to capture -> it shouldn't be strings in this case because "760" is greater than "1068" and error -1 will be set.

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

dim $sFilePath = "E:\tmp.BMP"
dim $OCR_Rectangle[4] = [760, 480, 1068, 522]
ConsoleWrite(_ScreenCapture_Capture($sFilePath,$OCR_Rectangle[0], $OCR_Rectangle[1], $OCR_Rectangle[2], $OCR_Rectangle[3],False) & @LF)

Unfortunately _ScreenCapture_Capture() doesn't convert the input to an integer value automatically.
