Mouse Position Grabber

[Munky]

Tried creating a script that uses a hotkey to grab the current mouse position then write it to a file, but all attempts failed, for some reason FileWrite and FileWriteLine werent working properly? even tried writing "BLAH" instead of the mouse positions, but that failed too...

just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

First step: posting your script.

CODE

HotKeySet("{Enter}", "Write")

HotKeySet("{Escape}", "Kill")

;sets fileopen

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

;writes

Func Write()

$pos = MouseGetPos()

FileWrite($file, $pos[0] & " , " & $pos[1] & @CRLF)

EndFunc

;kills

Func Kill()

Exit

EndFunc

Looks good to me. Test to see if $file = -1 after the FileOpen call, maybe? Don't really know why it would be but I can't think of anything else.

maybe...

HotKeySet("{F9}", "Write")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Kill")

;sets fileopen
$file = FileOpen( @ScriptDir & "\test.txt", 1)

While 1
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

;writes
Func Write()
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    FileWrite($file, $pos[0] & " , " & $pos[1] & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>Write

;kills
Func Kill()
    FileClose($file)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Kill

missing a While/Wend loop

There we go must have been the while loop....

Thanx

Ha. Word to the wise: answering support questions while too sick to leave bed because you can't find anything else to do isn't always the best idea.
