Hi everybody, new here.

I'm messing around with AutoIT since a few days. 

I'm actually doing some experiment on my computer, and want to do a simple textbox on my desk, and when I type some things like "chrome" then click OK or input Enter, it launch chrome.exe

Anyway, I'm storing a historic of my inputs in a txt file. And if I push my BackSpace button, I'd like to make my code delete the last character of the txt file instead of FileWrite ($historic, 'BACKSPACE') .. 


 Is there a special character that can delete my last char in the txt file ? I remember doing domething like that in C but it was years ago and I was beginning... 

Thanks for your help ! :)

This should help you get started: StringTrimRight

My Snips: graphCPUTemp ~ getENVvars
My Scripts: Short-Order Encrypter - message and file encryption V1.6.1 ~ AuPad - Notepad written entirely in AutoIt V1.9.4

Thanks MikahS, 

So, if I understand, I have to read the whole .txt file as a string, remove 1 char from this string, and write the result in the .txt file ?

There are many ways you can go about doing this. I like using the _FileReadToArray, depending on if you have a way to split the lines (otherwise just do FileOpen w/ overwrite, FileRead, StringTrimRight, FileWrite, FileClose), use the count, which would be under index 0, and trim the string as you see fit, then write the array back using _FileWriteFromArray with FileOpen in overwrite mode. 

Let me know if you have any questions, as there is multiple ways of going about achieving what you would like.

      Deleting/overwriting variable contents in memory
      By CarlD
      Is there a reliable way to ensure that data assigned to variables in a script is overwritten or deleted when the script exits? I have scripts that encrypt/decrypt data and would like to ensure, if possible, that the encryption keys and decrypted data do not stay in memory after the script exits. Thanks.

      How to search through a column and delete certain names.
      By nooneclose
      My program has to first search for names in Column D that do not match up with column C. I got that search to work using arrays. It was slow and I could not figure out how to delete them so I just manually put coded the names that do not belong. I found their cell location but I do not know how to store that location and delete it.
      This is what I have so far.
      Local $NameToDelete1[6]  = _Excel_RangeFind($OpenWorkbook, "Smith, Bill") _ArrayDisplay($NameToDelete1, "Excel UDF: _Excel_RangeFind Example 1", "", 0, "|", "Sheet|Name|Cell|Value|Formula|Comment") _Excel_RangeDelete($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, $NameToDelete1[2], $xlShiftUp)  
      Please help, I wanted to have this program done yesterday but I did not see this problem until yesterday.

      FTP, delete non empty Directory - (Moved)
      By Sally1801
      Hello,
      i need help in deleting files from a server. The function "_FTP_DirDelete" only deletes a directory when its empty. I need to delete a non empty directory. I also can not delete the files in this directory first, because the files are PAG and DIR files in a .DAV directory and FTPEx.au3 doesnt like a directory starting with a ".".
      Any ideas?
      Thx, Sally

      Read and write Icloud txt files
      By wimhek
      Is it possible , and how can I read and write txt files from Icloud (apple service) ?
      Let me try to explain my application.
      On my Ipad and Iphone I create txt files. On my windows computer it is possible to read and modify these files manually, by logging in on www.icloud.com.
      What I want to make is an auto-it script who reads the txt file and create an new txt file on www.icloud.com,  so I can acces these on my ipad and/or phone.
       
      Thank you.
