deco Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 HelloI'm trying to automate turbo XML to convert DTD's to XSD's. I have to enter a directory name, the source directory. The problem is, that I must "browse" to the target directory instead of entering the path. I provide a screenshot, just in case you don't understand what I mean.So basically, what I'm trying to do, is converting the path (X:\path\to\DTDs) to "expand X:\" -> "expand path\" -> "expand to".....Is there a ready solution for this? Or maybe some available code / function? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please provide some information about what this code does? I like to know what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 27, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2006 Actually in the state he/she has it, it doesn't do anything, but in essence they are suggesting that you write a GUI, and allow accepting files... essentially writing your own FileSelectFolder() option. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

deco Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 You can check the autoit help file. Hmm but I haven't made the dialog. The dialog has been created by the program I'm trying to automate. So I have no access to the dialog and I can't change its properties or add items etc... (or can I?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deco Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) More Ideas? I have written it myself. It wasn't too hard after all. ; Select directory Dim $pathbits = StringSplit($path,"\") For $i = 1 to $pathbits[0] Step 1 If StringLower($pathbits[$i]) == "c:" Then Send("Local") Else Send($pathbits[$i]) EndIf Send("{NUMPADADD}") Next Send("{ENTER}") What I'm doing is this: Imagine using C:\temp as $path 1) I split the string into an array of strings, in this case: $pathbits[1] = C: and $pathbits[2] = temp 2) If current pathbit = C: (first loop), then I do send("Local") to the application, because my C-drive has the label "Local disk". 3) for each subdirectory, send the subdirectory (the GUI will select the sent directory name) and expand it with NUMPADADD (+). Note: this will probably not work with other drives, because some of them (e.g. cd-rom) have a label that doesn't match the driveletter.
