Unstable V3.0.91 Available

[Jon]

Updated with FileSetTime()

[jlandes]

Thanks Jon.

Updated. Added REG_BINARY support.

Binary keys are handled as string of 2 digit hex values. So the binary data 01, 99, ff, 0a is represented for reading and writing as "0199FF0A".

Thanks Jon!!The FileSetAttrib is exactly what I need right now. The script in progress sets attributes at 14 different places so I ended up with functions calling functions calling a function to call @comspec and that's not real pretty code. Any chance of getting FileAppend ('source','destination')? Then I couldget rid af all calls to @comspec completely.

[jlandes]

Look at _FileAppend in the standard library file File.au3. That should help you out. Thx.

[GEOSoft]

Thanks a lot. I will take a look at it. BTW; why (all of a sudden?) am I seeing the underscore used at the beginning of function names. Does that serve any useful purpose?

_ function names mean that they are not part of the autoit.exe file but are from the standard include library instead (Program Files\AutoIt3\Include).

I thought it was important that users knew what was built in and what was not.

[Jon]

Updated again. I've fixed URLDownloadToFile (i think).

When I say fixed, I mean completely rewrote using different functions.

I think the bug/whatever that was crashing the function was actually messing up security too - people reported that their personal firewall was ignoring AutoIt file requests! I'm pretty sure that the new version is well behaved but please report your experiences with the new version.

[CyberSlug]

The recent additions are excellent!

Just wondering: What else is on the to-do list? (I think in one thread you said decimal to hex conversion should be a built-in function.)

Not much. I'm on the verge of freezing any new stuff.

I will upload on the morning after a little rest a StringFormat implementation as sprintf. that will solve a lot of formating numbers. I need to write the docs

Jon, before freezing the code, could you look at FileGetTime?

The array values for hour, minute, and second are only one digit if they are < 10. This makes it difficult to convert the results to "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format....

(This may be better suited as a user-library function, but, I'd be happy if you changed the FileGetTime output to a single string in the format "YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM,SS" which allows a user to easily obtain an array from (using StringSplit) or easily obtain YYMMDDHHMMSS from (using StringReplace).)

[Jon]

Updated:

1. FileGetTime returns strings padded with 0s

2. Added JP's StringFormat() function - "Funky" does not even come close

[redndahead]

I think if I were to say the two features I would like to see implemented before freezing is Hex2Dec and Reading/Writing Reg_Binary.

Thanks for everything though.

I'll attempt to port my base conversion functions to use AutoIt's types and see if it still works okay. It can convert between base 2 and 36 freely, so what functions would people like? Are these enough, too many, too little?

Dec2Hex($DecIn)

Hex2Dec($HexIn)

ConvertBase($NumberIn, $BaseFrom, $BaseTo)

I'll try and get something working in the next day or two.

REG_BINARY was done days ago. Do keep up.

This is really easy. I've created a template which takes a string-type class as a parameter, all that class needs is a += overload to concatenate a character onto the string. I've ported 1 function (of 2 originally) to this new format and it works with both std::string and Jon's AString type.

Jon, this doesn't use any external libraries (I'm using my own version of pow() and I've avoided atoi or anything else like that). However, it does use exceptions to signal an error condition (Which are easily caught and converted to an @error). This doesn't present any issues, does it? AutoIt is compiled with C++ Exceptions on, correct? Just wondering, I haven't noticed exceptions being used in any other place...

[Jon]

Exceptions are turned off.

Just a really basic implementation of hextodec is all that is needed.
