Appending data to a file

[NEOhidra]

Looks like i am missing something. Why 

Quote

Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes.txt", "")

from this example

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <File.au3>

$data = @YEAR &'.'& @MON &'.'& @MDAY &' '& @HOUR &':'& @MIN &':'& @SEC

FileOpen ( "processes.txt", $FO_OVERWRITE )
FileWriteLine ( 'processes.txt', '-=-=-=-=-=- ' & $data & ' -=-=-=-=-=-' )
FileClose ( "processes.txt" )
Run(@ComSpec & " /c dir >> output.txt", "")
Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes.txt", "")
Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes1.txt", "")
MsgBox(0, "Message", "Done")

doesnt work, while

Quote

Run(@ComSpec & " /c dir >> output.txt", "")

and

Quote

Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes1.txt", "")

function just fine?

The fileclose() is wrong and doesn't do anything!

You need to save the Filehandle from FileOpen in a variable and use that with FileClose(). Check the Helpfile for the details.

@Jos

Thank you for the hint!

I was wondering why this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <File.au3>

$data = @YEAR &'.'& @MON &'.'& @MDAY &' '& @HOUR &':'& @MIN &':'& @SEC

FileOpen ( "processes.txt", $FO_OVERWRITE )
FileWriteLine ( 'processes.txt', '-=-=-=-=-=- ' & $data & ' -=-=-=-=-=-' )
FileClose ( "processes.txt" )
Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes.txt", "")

works?

try this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <File.au3>

$data = @YEAR & '.' & @MON & '.' & @MDAY & ' ' & @HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ':' & @SEC

$hMyFileHandle = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\processes.txt", $FO_OVERWRITE)
FileWriteLine($hMyFileHandle, '-=-=-=-=-=- ' & $data & ' -=-=-=-=-=-')
FileClose($hMyFileHandle)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c dir >> " & @ScriptDir & "\processes.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> " & @ScriptDir & "\processes.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)
; Run(@ComSpec & " /c tasklist >> processes1.txt", "") ; <--- do you want write to a new file ??

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\processes.txt")

MsgBox(0, "Message", "Done")

..... as Jos already sayd ..... Check the Helpfile for the details...
