Eli Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi! I'm working with FileOpen The path is correct because a FileExists returns 1 and a msgbox with it returns the correct path FileOpen does not open the file. I have a feeling its some dumb newb error expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> ;Initialize variables Global $GUIWidth Global $GUIHeight $GUIWidth = 300 $GUIHeight = 250 ;Create window GUICreate("New GUI", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight) $Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose", 10, 10, 280, 190) $OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 75, 210, 70, 25) $Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 165, 210, 70, 25) $wap = GUICtrlCreateRadio("choose A",10,50,200) GUICtrlCreateRadio("or B",10,75,200) $data = GUICtrlSetData($Combo,"wert|yuiop") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ;Destroy the GUI including the controls GUIDelete() Exit ;Check if user clicked on the "OK" button Case $msg = $OK $f2 = GUICtrlRead($Combo) $w1 = GUICtrlRead($wap) If $w1 = $GUI_CHECKED Then $f1 = "\w_" Else $f1 = "\m_" endif $file = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & $f1 & $f2 & ".txt",0) Case $msg = $Cancel ExitLoop $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndSelect WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoePSX Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Uh... how do I say that? FileOpen is not for that kind of opening the file... FileOpen opens the file internally for writting to it. What you want to do is to open the file in Notepad. Try using: $FileName = @ScriptDir & $f1 & $f2 & ".txt" Run(@COMSPEC & " /c START " & $FileName, "", @SW_HIDE) [quote name='Valik' post='301213' date='Jan 31 2007, 10:36 PM']You seem to have a habit of putting things in the wrong place.

MHz Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This may help with your understanding of FileOpen() use some more. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> ;Initialize variables Global $GUIWidth Global $GUIHeight $GUIWidth = 300 $GUIHeight = 250 ;Create window GUICreate("New GUI", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight) $Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose", 10, 10, 280, 190) $OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 75, 210, 70, 25) $Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 165, 210, 70, 25) $wap = GUICtrlCreateRadio("choose A", 10, 50, 200) GUICtrlCreateRadio("or B", 10, 75, 200) $data = GUICtrlSetData($Combo, "wert|yuiop") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ;Destroy the GUI including the controls GUIDelete() Exit ;Check if user clicked on the "OK" button Case $msg = $OK $f2 = GUICtrlRead($Combo) $w1 = GUICtrlRead($wap) If $w1 = $GUI_CHECKED Then $f1 = "\w_" Else $f1 = "\m_" EndIf $file = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & $f1 & $f2 & ".txt", 0) If $file <> -1 Then ; read something with $file handle ; ... FileClose($file); Close the handle Else MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, 'FileOpen Error') EndIf Case $msg = $Cancel ExitLoop $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndSelect WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 ooooh so fileopen just opens the file in memory for manipulation by the script? makes sense on the run command thankee much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using: $FileName = @ScriptDir & $f1 & $f2 & ".txt" Run(@COMSPEC & " /c START " & $FileName, "", @SW_HIDE) I got it to open with '"' around the fiilename but all it does is pop up sa command prompt with the correct path. these are simple txt files...is there no easy way to open them?

CoePSX Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Are you sure that a command promtp appears? Becaus @SW_HIDE is there just to make sure it doesn't. Anyway, there is an alternative way: Run('"notepad.exe" "' & $FineName & '"') [quote name='Valik' post='301213' date='Jan 31 2007, 10:36 PM']You seem to have a habit of putting things in the wrong place.

Eli Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 yep, the command window stayed open tried the run(notepad) thing....it opened notepad but it said it couldnt find the file would you like to create it instead instead of opening a file is there a relatively easy way to dump the contents of a txt file into say, a message box. it it seems fileread() and filereadline() only do 1 character or line. can you dump the WHOLE file into a variable?

Helge Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 tried the run(notepad) thing....it opened notepad but it said it couldnt find the file would you like to create it insteadinstead of opening a fileThen the file simply didn't exist and you didn't set $FineName to an already existing file.Not important at this point though, as the following quote shows that this isn't what you want.it it seems fileread() and filereadline() only do 1 character or line.can you dump the WHOLE file into a variable?Look at the last parameter for FileRead. Do a FileOpen, FileRead and then FileClose.Read properly about these functions in the helpfile and you will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
