FileFindFirstFile not giving results

[Zhelkus]

I just started using AutoIt with the idea that I could manage and perform better tasks than with RoboTask. I'm trying to create a loop for PNG images using FileFindFirstFile. However, that function isn't returning any values despite inputting everything correctly according to the help file. Every time it says that the folder is empty (@error=1)

Here's the code:

CODE

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AutoIt Version: 3.2.10.0

Author: Zhelkus

Script Function:

Run PNGcrush on one or many images

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here

$pngcrushchosenfolder = FileSelectFolder("Choose the folder where the images are stored. Subfolders will not be scanned.", "")

If $pngcrushchosenfolder = "" Then

MsgBox(0, "Task interrupted.", "Task will exit.")

Exit

EndIf

$tempdir = EnvGet("temp")

DirRemove($tempdir & "\pngcrush on autoit", 1)

DirCreate($tempdir & "\pngcrush on autoit")

FileChangeDir($pngcrushchosenfolder)

$currentpng = FileFindFirstFile("*.png")

;MsgBox(0, "Current variable:", $pngcrushchosenfolder & "\")

If $currentpng = 1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Task finished.", "No files found, change search pattern.")

Exit

ElseIf $currentpng = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Found an error")

EndIf

MsgBox(0, "Result", $currentpng)

I'm also attaching the same task I made in RoboTask in case anybody has this program. Please help.

FileFindFirstFile.

However, that function isn't returning any values despite inputting everything correctly according to the help file. Every time it says that the folder is empty (@error=1)

use

FileFindFirstFile()

to include code.

I don't see any code using FileFindFirstFile() ; so I can't help you learn how to use it.

Review the Help example carefully. FFFF() gives you a HANDLE to a filelist you can browse with FFNF() , IT DOES NOT RETURN a filename
