kisstom Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) My question not really autoit related but i hope someone can help me.I wrote a simple script wich select all files in explorer by send ctrl+a then add to rar archive then delete files. It's ok on xp but now i changed to windows 7, now if i select all files the new files (the .rar) also include the selection (windows 7 automatically add to selection the new created .rar file) so i delete the .rar file as well if i send a delete and an enter keystroke.Is there a way to disable this? I googled a lot without any result, my last hope the lot of smart people here EDIT: i find an otion in winrar 'delete files after archiving', it's solve my problem now but it's still a very annoying thingEDIT 2: also very annoying if i create/copy a new file in list view, it's in alphabetic order immediatelly (not just at the end like xp) Edited January 3, 2016 by kisstom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfish Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 You can select files from your script without sending keystrokes and then filter out whatever files you don't want.(see the filter parameter in _FileListToArray).

BrewManNH Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I believe jfish was giving you an alternative that will work far better than Sending CTRL-A to Windows explorer as that can be an issue if someone is using the computer at the same time.Send and MouseClicks are generally a bad idea for automation if there are much much better ways to do it. Just because they need less code doesn't make them the better way to do something. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

jdelaney Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Get away from the gui with:_FileListToArraysave yourself the headaches. rar can probably be used via command line as well.
