Reading whole string...

[Ghost21]

If $nMsg = $Button7 Then

$ret = _GUICtrlListGetSelItemsText($List1)

If (Not IsArray($ret)) Then

MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unknown error from _GUICtrlListGetSelItemsText")

Else

For $i = 1 To $ret[0]

$printer = StringMid($ret[$i], 12, StringLen($ret[$i]))

Run("RunDll32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /c\\" & GUICtrlRead($Input5) & " /in\\purcell /n\\" & $server & "\" & $printer)

Next

EndIf

Else

EndIf

The string that i'm reading looks like ShareName: HP OFFICEJET

Now I remove the first 12 characters to get the printername but it stops at the ( Space ) so it only shows me HP

How can I get it to read the whole thing... if I grab a different printer that's all attached like HPOFFICEJET3456 it reads it no problem ???

Help please...

$printer=StringTrimRight("MY PRINTER HP OFFICEJET",13)
MsgBox(0,"",$printer)

What does the string look like BEFORE you start stripping things off?

You can probably do better than blindly stripping a set number of characters.

it always has ShareName: Printer

but if the printer label has a space in the name it stops at the space....

ACTUALLY

msgbox(4000,"test",$printer) <--- it shows me the full name...

Run("RunDll32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /c\\" & GUICtrlRead($Input5) & " /in\\purcell /n\\" & $server & "\" & $printer)

Is it losing the other data because of the rundll command ?

$printer=StringTrimRight("MY PRINTER HP OFFICEJET",13)
MsgBox(0,"",$printer)

Isn't this the opposite of what is needed? This will return "MY PRINTER"

Just do:

$printer = StringMid($ret[$i], 12)

- or -

$printer = StringTrimLeft ( $ret[$i], 11 )

Hey weapon I'm not sure what he was talking about but I have found that if I do a RUN command it drops everything after the ( space ) if I do a shellexecute command it shows me the correct information but says it can't find the rundll command even though I changed it to @windowsdir\system32\rundll.exe etc.
