need help writeing to a text docmument using fileopen (not run)

[freedomcaller]

im using a screen capute program to read text from a game (OCRSDK) and put it in string .txt

the problem is string .txt gets overwrited evrytime the text changes(im trying to get a log file of the text)

so i got it to read the text (and copy it to clipboard for good measure)

but when i try to to "filewrite" it gives me a bunch of squares croses and other usless junk (imo)

so how do i get it to put the text i the logs.txt

while 1
    sleep(2000)
    winwaitactive("SRO_Client")
     PixelSearch(550,130,725,145,0xffffff,8)
     If Not @error Then
         run ("OCRSDKcl.exe /capture 450 133 830 145 /ascii string.txt","",@SW_HIDE)
         FileOpen("string.txt",0)
         $log = FileRead("string.txt")
         FileOpen("logs.txt",1)
         ClipPut($log)
         
         [b][u]WTF DO I PUT HERE!???[/u][/b]
         
     EndIf 
  wend

Dose this help for the overwriteing of string.txt?

FileOpen("string.txt",1)

It opens it in write mode and appends to end of the file

Hope that helps (a bit)

Want to share the OCRSDK so we can test to see what the issue is that you are having. All your doing now is chasing your tail, and having us follow suit.

ocrskd is totaly irrelevnt imo but http://www.screenocr.com/ im using the command line version(skd)

its putting the text in string.txt just fine and autoit is reading it fine also (if i paste the stuff it coppied to clipboard on my own its the same as the text in string.txt) the problem comes up when i try to put it into logs.txt using writefile command

i just need auto it to read one text file and place the text elsewhare..

So your trying paste $log into logs.txt?

[freedomcaller]

Try this:

The basic write part worked for me.

while 1
    sleep(2000)
    winwaitactive("SRO_Client")
     PixelSearch(550,130,725,145,0xffffff,8)
     If Not @error Then
         run ("OCRSDKcl.exe /capture 450 133 830 145 /ascii string.txt","",@SW_HIDE)
         FileOpen("string.txt",0)
         $log = FileRead("string.txt") 
         ClipPut($log)
         FileOpen("logs.txt",1)
         FileWrite ("logs.txt",  ClipGet ())
         
     EndIf 
wend

Just make sure the files' paths a specified.

could you give me examples of the files (String.txt, ascii string.tx...) It would help with the fixing problem

string.txt = "- ` I wil- ake 1 seconds o close he game - - Ä" (the ocrsdk dosent capute perfect but its good enough for me)

logs.txt = " ⸭⁉⸠⁉ൠ弊慃湮攠畱灩戠捥畡敳漠⸠楤ⴠⴭ湥敳⹸⃄쐠张਍⃄䌭湡潮煥極⁰"

^^i never noticed the chinese bfore in notepad (by me) its just squares and crosses i probably dident have the language pack installed or s/t

If you use FileOpen, then you need to store the handle that is returned and use that with FileRead or FileWrite. When finished with the handle then use FileClose on the handle.

[freedomcaller]

0o whare is the handel returned to??/ how do i get/know my handle??

in other words wtf is a handle!

(i see fileclose requires a handle and fileopen read and write gives you a choice)

[MHz]

The handle is returned from the FileOpen function and is a reference to the opened file. The handle can be stored inside a variable and the file will remain open until FileClose is used on the handle to close it.

Simple example of using a handle

$handle = FileOpen('path/to/file.ext', 0)
If $handle <> -1 Then
    FileRead($handle)
    FileClose($handle)
EndIf
