trainwreck07 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi im new to autoit and would like to ask for some help/tips. i am working on a script that will delete files in a certain directorey (for non malicious perpouses) say delete a Temporarey file on the c:/ drive. well i was using autoit fine to create run then delete a .bat file on a users system untill i encountered an error the error was when i was using autoit with filewrite, what it wrote was all together and not spead out what i was expecting and hoping for was command1 command2 command3 but what i got was command1 command2 command3 im wondering if theirs a way i can make it spaced out. from what ive tryed i havnt found a way to send ENTER with filewrite. heres my code if any one is wondering filewrite($file,"") sleep('500') filewrite($file,$line1) filewrite($file,$line2) filewrite($file,$line3) filewrite($file,$line4) filewrite($file,$line5) filewrite($file,$line6) filewrite($file,$line7) also i was wondering if their was a way to totally go and change my script and just have it delete the files from autoit itsself. but i would have to find a way to change this del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.tmp into delete / folder [dynamic systemdrive/leter] \ anything.tmp does autoit have a wild card for doing such things? thanks for all/any help i get.

Have a look in the help for FileWriteLine ,@SystemDir and Run Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "del /f /s /q " & @SYSTEMDIR & "\*.tmp", "", @SW_HIDE) Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.
