TuMiM Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Is there a way to have autoit watch a folder for a file and when that file is no longer there send a messagebox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunaj Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Sure, just periodically loop a variant of: $search = FileFindFirstFile($dir_Files & "yourfile.yes") While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop EndIf _ArrayAdd($a_Files, $file) WEnd If Ubound($a_Files) => 2 Then MsgBox(4096, "bingo", "yes found "yourfile.yes"") EndIf Hope this helps you Sunaj EDIT: note how you could easily extend this to check for multiple file by checking the content of the $a_Files array!

MrCreatoR Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Try this: $Dir = "C:\" $File = "Test.txt" While FileExists($Dir & $File) Sleep(100) WEnd MsgBox(0, "", "The file <" & $File & "> no longer exists in the folder <" & $Dir & ">") Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...
