James Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hey all! I have this code for printing text documents. $FilePrint = $DocEd1 If @error Then MsgBox(0, "Print", "Error:" & @CRLF & "The file was not printed.") $print = _fileprint($FilePrint, @SW_SHOW) If $FilePrint Then MsgBox(0, "Print", "The file was succesfully printed.") Else MsgBox(0, "Print", "Error: " & @error & @CRLF & "The file was not printed.") EndIf But its not working. I have looked at the example and that doesn't work either.

Xenobiologist Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, do you get the error message? Is your filehandle really a filehandle?

James Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well.. I tried it. And all it does is say that the File was not printed. Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted December 29, 2006 Developers Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well.. I tried it. And all it does is say that the File was not printed.Isn't it about time now to start learning about how to debug your scripts in stead of saying "It doesn't work" ?- test for return codes- put in ConsoleWrite()/MsgBox() at strategic places showing you more info.Just saying it doesn't work leaves us guessing ...

Xenobiologist Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, did you try to get the reason? Try this: #include <File.au3> $FilePrint = @ScriptDir & "\1.txt" If Not FileExists($FilePrint) Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "File not found!") Exit (0) ElseIf _FilePrint($FilePrint, @SW_SHOW) Then MsgBox(0, "Print", "The file was succesfully printed.") Else MsgBox(0, "Print", "Error: " & @error & @CRLF & "The file was not printed.")

And it doesn't print, but gives no errors.No need to say sorry ... just trying to explain to you that telling us that things don't work is fine in the beginning but you are supposed to learn to debug scripts yourself. Try to figure it out yourself by testing/trying/putting debug lines in the script ...etc ... or else I will have to change your group title to n00b again SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Xenobiologist Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, easiest way is always to show the whole script with detailed problem description. What to achieve and what happens. So long, Mega P.S.: I'll have a look when you post again.

/dev/null Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Sorry, but I did say that it always says "Error:2 The file was not printed." And it doesn't print, but gives no errors. well let's analyse your problem. Return code 0, @error = 2. Hm... nothing in the help file. What would I do??? Hey, let's look at the source code for _FilePrint.... O.K. there we have: DllCall("shell32.dll", "long", "ShellExecute", _..... O.K. So it's using ShellExecute (also documented in the help file!). Well, the documentation for ShellExecute will for sure explain what return code 2 could possibly mean. So, let's use google.com to find the documentation on MDSN. --> LINK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....llexecute.asp O.K. now, we have the following: [i]Return Value (of ShellExecute): Returns a value greater than 32 if successful, or an error value that is less than or equal to 32 otherwise. The following table lists the error values. The return value is cast as an HINSTANCE for backward compatibility with 16-bit Windows applications. It is not a true HINSTANCE, however. The only thing that can be done with the returned HINSTANCE is to cast it to an int and compare it with the value 32 or one of the error codes below. 0 The operating system is out of memory or resources. ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND The specified file was not found. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND The specified path was not found. ERROR_BAD_FORMAT The .exe file is invalid (non-Microsoft Win32 .exe or error in .exe image). SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED The operating system denied access to the specified file. SE_ERR_ASSOCINCOMPLETE The file name association is incomplete or invalid. SE_ERR_DDEBUSY The Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) transaction could not be completed because other DDE transactions were being processed. SE_ERR_DDEFAIL The DDE transaction failed. SE_ERR_DDETIMEOUT The DDE transaction could not be completed because the request timed out. SE_ERR_DLLNOTFOUND The specified DLL was not found. SE_ERR_FNF The specified file was not found. SE_ERR_NOASSOC There is no application associated with the given file name extension. This error will also be returned if you attempt to print a file that is not printable. SE_ERR_OOM There was not enough memory to complete the operation. SE_ERR_PNF The specified path was not found. SE_ERR_SHARE A sharing violation occurred. [/i] So, what the hell is return code 2 ??? O.K., let's search for the consants ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND and ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND, again via google.com. searching.... searching .... searching .... Wait, here we go: several links to: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND = 2 and ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND = 3. So, now WHAT is your problem now??? First hint: Check the file path.. Second hint: look at the source code of _FilePrint to figure out if the path has to be fully qualified! EDIT: Third hint: check your code! It's allways good to use the right variables at the right place $print = _fileprint($FilePrint, @SW_SHOW) If $FilePrint Then That's the way to debug a problem. No special programming skills needed, just a little bit common sense!!
