File name problems


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello all

Anybody know how to keep details of a file name so it can be used through a script (maybe as a $)

I'm to thick to sort it out :wacko: . I need to work on a file with 2 programs then record details of file in a word doc at the end.

Thanks for any help :D

Thanks I may be able to use some of that. I'm suprised that Autoit has no function to get a filename. I want to load a file into one program, modify it then load it into another program then save the output (word doc) with the filename

There's not much you can't do in AutoIt3, but i for one have no idea what it is you want to accomplish...

Maybe explain in steps what you want to get done ....

:D

Hi,

how would you address a file, if you haven't got the path with name? First file in folder or what?

If you want to load a file into one program you have the filename.

Or if you search for the file you have to use FileFindFirstFile ( "filename" )

and FileFindNextFile ( search ).

What do you mean by "no function to get a filename"? Where do you want to get the filename from? Usually you will know the name of the file you are working with !??! :D

Cheers

I'll try to explain what I,m trying to do..

1Open directory containing .wav files

2.load a file into sound recorder and clip 10 secconst off the front of the file

3. Load the file into a speech recognition program which outputs a word file of the contents. Here is where I want the original file name to identify the contents i.e. Fred .wav....todays date......what fred said

So far I have made Autoit exe modules to open both programs but can't tie it together then make the whole thing do the same to the next file and so on.

Thanks for any help

Can you post what you have so far? I would hate to write something that you have already done or improperly make it so that it won't integrate with your script.

First, may I recommend the use of code, codebox, and autoit tags? :D

You set WinTitleMatchMode = 4, but then use the basic default "Title", "Text" method in your script. You could probably get rid of that statement and leave the default mode 1.

There is a line that baffles me:

$filename=("*.wav")$filename

What is it that should be doing? :wacko:

If you mean to find the first .wav file, and then each one after it, check out the FileFindFirstFile() and FileFindNextFile() functions.

:D
