Obtain list of Processes/Applications from "Task Manager"

I'll throw a test scrip together today. It must be in the call to _ArraySort() I'm probably trying to sort on the wrong dimension.

For AutoIt version see the @AutoItVersion macro as well as a function to do what you want that was just posted in example scripts this morning.

MsgBox(0, "Version", "You are currently using version " & @AutoItVersion)

If you have the path to AutoIt.exe then you could also use FileGetVersion(path & "\AutoIt.exe")

[GEOSoft]

Okay, it was a problem with parameters in the call to _ArraySort.

_ArraySort($a, 0, 1, 0, 2)

This is tested and working.

It looks to me like you are probably using version 3.2.8.1 of AutoIt BTW.

I am assuming here that you still have the sort functions that I gave you in your script and that you do NOT have #include<array.au3> or at least have it commented out.

If this works fine then you will probably be able to add the #include<array.au3> back in and comment out the sort functions using #CS/#CE. If you do that you may also find that updating AutoIt will break this code since there were several changes to array.au3. Besides these are the only functions you need so why bother #including the whole file?

<g> At this point, I'm not sure ... My head is whirling at this point. However, the script below seems to be working just fine with just that small modification:

#Include<array.au3>

$a = ProcessList()
$List = ""
_ArraySort($a, 0, 1, 0, 2)
For $i = 1 To $a[0][0]
    $list &= $a[$i][0] & @CRLF
Next

ClipPut($list)

It gave me this -- sorted and without all the extra, unnecessary info -- so looks absolutely great to me!:

Re findint out the AI version #, I'm going to try the couple of scripts kindly given here that will display the version. This is just such a good thing to have, eh? That'll make life easier in future for when I forget which copy of AI I have.

If this works fine then you will probably be able to add the #include<array.au3> back in and comment out the sort functions using #CS/#CE. If you do that you may also find that updating AutoIt will break this code since there were several changes to array.au3. Besides these are the only functions you need so why bother #including the whole file?

Since the above is working just fine, I'd just as soon not fix what's not broken <g>. I'm not sure if the simple, yet elegant script above will be "broken" when I install the latest AI but I'll be sure to try it once I have the latest version "installed". I'll try to get to that this weekend.

Thanks!

[GEOSoft]

I don't think it will break when you update but if it does then it won't take much to fix it.

Good luck

Nice script !! Now all I have to do is remember where it's posted so I can find it in the future.

I know that's becoming a problem

You can also save it to your disk.

But that's not a good alternative too.

Easier to find it on my disk though so thats the way I went. Just put it in a new folder in my D:\Downloads\AutoIt\Scripts folder. Tough to find some of these again in the forum unless Valuater adds it to his wrappers.

I'll throw a test scrip together today. It must be in the call to _ArraySort() I'm probably trying to sort on the wrong dimension.

For AutoIt version see the @AutoItVersion macro as well as a function to do what you want that was just posted in example scripts this morning.

MsgBox(0, "Version", "You are currently using version " & @AutoItVersion)

If you have the path to AutoIt.exe then you could also use FileGetVersion(path & "\AutoIt.exe")

That is so cool! It's at the top of all my AI scripts ...

CHECK FOR AUTOIT VERSION ...

---------------------------------------

Here's my take on it ('cause I just always have to stick my oar in ... <g>):

ClipPut("AutoIt version you are using is:  " & @AutoItVersion)
MsgBox(0, "", "You are currently using AutoIt v" & @AutoItVersion & "." & @CRLF & @CRLF & "(This info. has been sent to the clipboard.")

Using this script, therefore:

"AutoIt version you are using is: 3.2.10.0"

Hmmm, from this page: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...s&showcat=2 ...

The current stable release version of AutoIt. v3.2.8.1 - 10th Sept 2007

The latest AutoIt v3 beta version. v3.2.9.1 - 18th Sept, 2007

How can I have what looks like a later release???!!! <g>

Thanks.

Being fresher and after getting close to what's needed, I think that it would be nicer to have cleaner results after all. I was ready to give up before because the list finally was happening. But I also know that clean, elegant and simple results are always best. Is there a way to cut out the extra information, i.e., the "[system Process]" text and all the duplicates?

In fact something like this output would be much better and more useful:

List of running processes:

What does anyone think, can it be done?

Those are not duplicate reports of the same process. There are multiple instances of those processes running. You should see different PID numbers for each one. Once you get the 2D array, you can filter it any way you like, but the function won't filter it for you.

By looping through the array, you could just pull the names, and not pull multiple processes with the same name if that's what you want:

#include <array.au3>

$avRET = _ProcessListProperties()
If @error Then Exit
_ArrayDisplay($avRET, "Before filtering")

$sProcesses = Chr(1)
For $n = 1 To $avRET[0][0]
    If Not StringInStr($sProcesses, Chr(1) & $avRET[$n][0] & Chr(1)) Then $sProcesses &= $avRET[$n][0] & Chr(1)
Next
$avFiltered = StringSplit(StringTrimRight(StringTrimLeft($sProcesses, 1), 1), Chr(1))
_ArrayDisplay($avFiltered, "After filtering")

_ArraySort($avFiltered, 0, 1)
_ArrayDisplay($avFiltered, "After sorting")

You'll need to paste in the _ProcessListProperties() UDF, but it works exactly the same if you just replace that function with the native ProcessList(), assuming you don't need the rest of the process info you get from the UDF.

Yes, that is understood. I didn't mean they were duplicate processes, sorry for confusion. I was speaking of duplicates names appearing. My purpose in this script is not for the processes themselves but for the names. When doing AI scripting, there are quite a few times when I need to know the process name and got tired of opening up Task Manager, hunting down the name of the target app running and carefully typing out the name identical to what is being displayed. This script gives me the processes in a more useful way that I can just copy-paste into my AI script.

By looping through the array, you could just pull the names, and not pull multiple processes with the same name if that's what you want:

#include <array.au3>

$avRET = _ProcessListProperties()
If @error Then Exit
_ArrayDisplay($avRET, "Before filtering")

$sProcesses = Chr(1)
For $n = 1 To $avRET[0][0]
    If Not StringInStr($sProcesses, Chr(1) & $avRET[$n][0] & Chr(1)) Then $sProcesses &= $avRET[$n][0] & Chr(1)
Next
$avFiltered = StringSplit(StringTrimRight(StringTrimLeft($sProcesses, 1), 1), Chr(1))
_ArrayDisplay($avFiltered, "After filtering")

_ArraySort($avFiltered, 0, 1)
_ArrayDisplay($avFiltered, "After sorting")

You'll need to paste in the _ProcessListProperties() UDF, but it works exactly the same if you just replace that function with the native ProcessList(), assuming you don't need the rest of the process info you get from the UDF.

Wow, you lost me. I didn't understand all of this, unfortunately. Still a noob after all this time in many ways <lol>. Can I still use my original script above? It does exactly what I need except the output list gives me every entry and doesn't take out the "duplicate" names of processes, which would be the ideal.

[Diana (Cda)]

Current AutoIt Release version

Okay, that's where I must have gotten the version I have. The downloads page shows 2 older versions.

Since I use AI as a standalone, I'm guessing I must then have an old compiler. I don't remember if that's a new one or left over from a previous installation long ago. Will have to reinstall and grab the latest tools.

Thanks for the heads up re the better link.

[PsaltyDS]

Can I still use my original script above? It does exactly what I need except the output list gives me every entry and doesn't take out the "duplicate" names of processes, which would be the ideal.

Here's the basic script stripped down to do just the sorted list, without the extraneous demo stuff:

#include <array.au3>

$a = ProcessList()
_ArraySort($a, 0, 1)
$list = @CRLF
For $i = 1 To $a[0][0]
    If Not StringInStr($list, @CRLF & $a[$i][0] & @CRLF) Then $list &= $a[$i][0] & @CRLF
Next
$list = StringTrimRight(StringTrimLeft($list, 1), 1)

ClipPut($list)

There isn't much fat left in this. The @CRLF delimiters may look extraneous, but they prevent false matches on substrings. So "Proc.exe" doesn't get left out because "MyProc.exe" is already listed. This will trigger a bug in the _ArraySort() on a 2D array if you run it with 3.2.10.0. The bug was fixed in the 3.2.11.x Betas, so run/compile with beta.

Here's the basic script stripped down to do just the sorted list, without the extraneous demo stuff:

#include <array.au3>

$a = ProcessList()
_ArraySort($a, 0, 1)
$list = @CRLF
For $i = 1 To $a[0][0]
    If Not StringInStr($list, @CRLF & $a[$i][0] & @CRLF) Then $list &= $a[$i][0] & @CRLF
Next
$list = StringTrimRight(StringTrimLeft($list, 1), 1)

ClipPut($list)

Hi, it seems I've come full circle. Does that mean I give up, or what??!! <g>

The above gives me the same error as in post 16, the "Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded" (like that could be Chinese for me as I still don't understand it <g>). Anyway, GEOsoft in post 22 came back to say ...

Okay, it was a problem with parameters in the call to _ArraySort.

_ArraySort($a, 0, 1, 0, 2)

This is tested and working.

It looks to me like you are probably using version 3.2.8.1 of AutoIt BTW.

I am assuming here that you still have the sort functions that I gave you in your script and that you do NOT have #include<array.au3> or at least have it commented out.

If this works fine then you will probably be able to add the #include<array.au3> back in and comment out the sort functions using #CS/#CE. If you do that you may also find that updating AutoIt will break this code since there were several changes to array.au3. Besides these are the only functions you need so why bother #including the whole file?

The above script that I have works without errors, as I mentioned in post 32 above. It just gives me a list of all the process names running when I don't need "duplicate" names. I was just hoping to cut out the "duplicates".

I've ascertained that I have AutoIt 3.2.5.0, thanks to a modified script based on the very handy dandy one GEOsoft provided in post 21, so I'm at a loss to know where the problem still lies.

Thanks for your patience, guys.

Thanks!

Hard to believe you've been using AutoIt as long as you have.

They are not dupilcates, because the 2nd dimension does have a Unique process identification number, if it's not necessary to have that number, then create your own Array unique function to handle 2 dimensional arrays or make the process name(s) into a 1 dimensional array and find my _ArrayUnique function in the search function (in the example forum).
