hello yousefsamy, welcome to AutoIt forum!

the same way GUICtrlCreateInput returns a control ID you can manipulate later, so do FileOpenDialog and FileSaveDialog - they return a file name you can use later. however you call these functions without accepting their return... check these functions carefully in the helpfile.

then, you need to use the control ID of the input control to read the data in the control, so you can save the data to a file. when you read the data from a file, you use the control ID to set the data in the control. check out these functions in the help file:

GUICtrlRead()
GUICtrlSetData()
FileWrite()
FileRead()

oh sry this is first time to me (i dont understand i want you to correct my mistakes in my source this is my way to learn ^_^ )

and thnx for your effort

There are only about a thousand different directions you can go with "your source" since it really doesnt do anything at all. So I would start over and take care to learn to the functions Orbs recommended.

yousefsamy,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Take a look at this script and see if you can follow it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Note V1.1", 608, 446, 190, 74)

$MenuItem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
$open = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $MenuItem1)
$save = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $MenuItem1)
$exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $MenuItem1)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Hello Dear...", 0, 0, 606, 423)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $open
            ; Get file name to open
            $sFile = FileOpenDialog("File Open", @DesktopDir , " Text Files (*.txt)" )
            If @error Then
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "File open failed")
            Else
                ; Open file and put content into edit
                GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, FileRead($sFile))
            EndIf
        Case $save
            ; Get file name for save
            $sFile = FileSaveDialog("File Open", @DesktopDir , " Text Files (*.txt)" )
            If @error Then
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "File save failed")
            Else
                ; Open file and overwrite existing content
                $hFile = FileOpen($sFile, $FO_OVERWRITE)
                ; Put contents of edit into file
                FileWrite($hFile, GUICtrlRead($Edit1))
                ; Close file
                FileClose($hFile)
            EndIf

Hello sir can i talk with you on FB or Yahoo ??

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

No. The forum exists so that everyone can learn so just post here - and do not worry if the questions appear simple, we were all beginners once.

yousefsamy · June 22, 2014

okay sir ^_^

yousefsamy,

No. The forum exists so that everyone can learn so just post here - and do not worry if the questions appear simple, we were all beginners once.

M23

but what is the benefit of this line ??

$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, $FO_OVERWRITE)

i can do the save operation without this line right ??

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

You can indeed replace that entire section as follows:

Else
    ; Put contents of edit into file
    FileWrite($sFile, GUICtrlRead($Edit1))
EndIf

but try it and see what happens. :blink:

By opening the file with the $FO_OVERWRITE flag you delete the previous contents - if you do not do this you just add to the existing content, which is probably not what you want.

yousefsamy · June 22, 2014

yea It's Right and Thnx alot ^_^ .. if i want help how to communicate with you ??

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

Just post in the forum - someone will always help if you show the effort (as you did here). As I pointed out earlier, the whole ethos of the forum is that everyone can see and learn so we do not encourage private coaching.

yousefsamy · June 22, 2014

Sir

Moderators,

you are right .. i have one more question now in ur source [Enter] Button do his job and mine not the same ?? why ?

Edited June 22, 2014 by yousefsamy

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

I can only assume that you are referring to the return value from the FileOpen/SaveDialog functions. Note how I save the return value in a variable to use later.

As you appear to be a complete beginner to coding (and no problem there as we all were at one point) might I suggest reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) as this will help you enormously. You should also look at this excellent tutorial - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page).

^_^ okay i work hard ... #include<> <<== this code have many ways type but i dont understand the benefit of it :/

iamtheky · June 22, 2014

set your cursor there, hit alt+i, and go read what you just "included"

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

this code have many ways type

Only 2.

This directive tells AutoIt to add the contents of the referenced file at that point in the script - that way you can add code libraries to your script very easily.

The 2 ways to use it are:

; Reference an include file in the main AutoIt "Include" folder, if it is not found then look in the same folder as the script:
#include <Filename.au3>

; Reference an include file in the same folder as the script, if it is not found then look in the main AutoIt "Include" folder:
#include "Filename.au3"

Use the Help file a lot - it is a really useful aid to learning about AutoIt.

yousefsamy · June 22, 2014

oh yea .. but i mean there is #include<message.au3> ,#include<file.au3> <etc...> ... how can i know the usage of them ?

Melba23 · June 22, 2014

yousefsamy,

If you look at the Help file (have you noticed how that is a constant refrain?) you will see that many of the functions and constants referenced are contained within libraries which need to be #included in your script. Here is a simple example:

Global $aLines
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptFullPath, $aLines)
_ArrayDisplay($aLines)

If you run this you will see something like the following appear in the SciTE console:

>"M:\Program\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3" /UserParams    
+>15:47:20 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.2.0.3 SciTE v.3.4.3.0   Keyboard:00000809  OS:WIN_7/Service Pack 1  CPU:X64 OS:X86    Environment(Language:0409)
+>         SciTEDir => M:\Program\AutoIt3\SciTE   UserDir => C:\Users\Melba23\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper   SCITE_USERHOME => C:\Users\Melba23\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE 
>Running AU3Check (3.3.13.0)  from:M:\Program\AutoIt3  input:M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3
"M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3"(1,43) : error: _FileReadToArray(): undefined function.
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptFullPath, $aLines)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3"(2,22) : error: _ArrayDisplay(): undefined function.
_ArrayDisplay($aLines)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3 - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
!>15:47:21 AU3Check ended. Press F4 to jump to next error.rc:2
+>15:47:21 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished.
>Exit code: 2    Time: 0.9997

As you can see, AutoIt tells you that the 2 functions are "undefined" - you need to #include the relevant libraries - like this:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $aLines
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptFullPath, $aLines)
_ArrayDisplay($aLines

Now the script will run as the 2 functions are available in the libraries which you have #included in your script. Clearer now?
