Print Screen - and save the image

[kater]

Hi Guy's

your advice is very important for me about the below code

I have this code for Print Screen and save the image of the screen in C Drive

My question is : we need to modify in the existing code to save the image of the screen with the name of the existing user so how to get the name and save the image with name of the existing user

• How to can I get the name of the existing user by AutoIt v3 ?

;Gets Screen HackMan
SEND("{PRINTSCREEN}")
Run("mspaint.exe")
WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint")
WinSetState ( "untitled - Paint", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE )
Send("!EP")
Send("P")
WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint")
Send("!FA")
Send("!T")
Send("{DOWN}")
Send("{DOWN}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send("!N")
$sFileName = @MON & @MDAY & @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC & ".jpg"
Send("c:\user")

Send("{ENTER}")
Send("{TAB 1}")
Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!{F4}")
EXIT

@Username

there are easier ways to save the image from print screen than using paint, but i guess paint would be good practice coding.

Yeah, there's this new library. But it will only work on WinXP.

@username is the macro you needed. Also, I think that saving the sreenshot on the desktop would be more useful. So instead of Send("c:\user") use:

Send(@DesktopDir&"+7"&@username)

-edit-

If you use Send("c:\user") it will send: c.7user (the / key is 7 in my keyboard.)

So use the + to send a shift stroke.

so please advice me in the below code

Send("c:\user"&"+7"&@username)

Send("C:\user\" & @Username & "\" & $Filename)

Where $filename is the name of the file to be saved, eg

$Filename = "image17.bmp"

I'm not sure what the email bits are for, and the "+7" is from advice you were given-

If you use Send("c:\user") it will send: c.7user (the / key is 7 in my keyboard.)

So use the + to send a shift stroke.

Maybe he meant

If you use Send("c:\user") it will send: c:7user (the '\' key is shift '7' in my keyboard.)

So use the + to send a shift stroke.

If you send("C:\user") and it sends "C:\user", then don't worry about the "+7" which must be a quirk of Nahuel's PC, I certainly don't have that problem.

[kater]

still there is error , How to can I fix it ?

Oh sorry, I didn't notice my mistake. I don't know what an English keyboard looks like. In my case, if you want to send the ":" character, you have to press shift+ "." (Which I guess applies for every keyboard), otherwise it will send the dot, obviously. As for the "\" character, I was wrong. It was AltGr+"º" (below esc).

Anyway, sorry if I'm causing confusion. But this is how it works for me. If I use "send("C:\user")" it sends "c.ºuser".

kater, why don't you tell us what the error is. It's probably somewhere else.

I checked your script and I'm not sure what some thigs do.

Here's what I did. (It hasn't been tested properly since my Paint is in spanish, but it worked.)

Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
Run("mspaint.exe")
WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint")
WinSetState ( "untitled - Paint", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Send("^v")  
Send("^s")
WinWaitActive("Save as")
$sFileName = @MON & @MDAY & @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC & "-"&@Username&".bmp"
ClipPut(@DesktopDir&"\"&$sFileName)
send("^v")
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(500);Just in case...
ProcessClose("mspaint.exe")

I have idea !!

No need to all the codes we need to create a new code as the below description

" we need to this point only "

when the script running we need from it to get the user name and copy it in the clipboard

when me want to save the image I'll apply the code of Ctrl +V

with this step can we save the image with same user name

but tell me which code will get the name and it will copy it in the clipboard ?

How to can I get the user name of the existing user ?

[herewasplato]

How to can I get the user name of the existing user ?

@UserName

[herewasplato]

.....but tell me which code will get the name and it will copy it in the clipboard ?

ClipPut(@UserName)

[herewasplato]

Nahuel,

You were so close...

I only had to change

WinWaitActive("Save as") to be

WinWaitActive("Save As")

I'll bet it is hard to do the translation pefect...

I cannot even get English scripts right sometimes and I have an English OS :-)

Thanks for your help in this tread.

...I'm not sure what the email bits are for,...

Let's hope that the screen shots are not to be e-mailed :-(

1º. Open SciTe (The script editor).

2º. Type this: ClipPut(@UserName)

3º. Save it.

4º. Run the script.

Now the name of the existing user name is in the clipboard.

Just remember to always check the help file. (Look for ClipPut and ClipGet)
