File List Auto Updater

dcer · June 12, 2008

Hi, i've created a little program that will run in the background and check a specified folder for file changes (if there's more or less files since last check), and it'll write the updated list of files to a text file.

It worked fine until i wanted to make it able to be customizeable, so that users can choose the folder themselves, without having to edit the script, so i tried that.

But somehow it doesn't work so well.

Here's my source... hope some1 can help me

                EndIf
        EndSelect
WEnd

Exit

One of my other problems is that when the script is loaded/started, the folder and file dialog is opened... and cant really understand that, cause in my code i made it ONLY do that if the file "config.txt" already existed.

Well... hope you can help me out here - i will post the program in here afterwards ofc.

Sad to say it... but it doesn't work

delete the config.txt you were using, and just run the program, it works 100% fine on Vista SP 1 32 bit

delete the config.txt you were using, and just run the program, it works 100% fine on Vista SP 1 32 bit

I did... and btw i'm running on XP SP3, but it just doesn't work. When i run it, it pops up with the file and folder dialog, which i would like it not to do. But anyway, when i choose the folder and file, and then go in to the config file it only wrote the line with the folder name like e.g. C:/testfolder/folder, but not the file line. Second of all, the file that i choose to save (C:/testfolder/folder/filelist.txt) are not saved and the file doesn't exist in the folder, and the line "C:/testfolder/folder/filelist.txt" doesn't exist in the config.txt either.

And when i click on the icon in the taskbar and choose Select File or Select Folder, nothing happens, exept THEN it writes the previous choosed folder and line to the config.txt, but still no list on files or the file filelist.txt in "C:/testfolder/folder/filelist.txt"

it pops up Once then write to config.txt...if line 1 or 2 is deleted it will pop up again (depending on what was deleted)

also, can I get someone else to test it please? works fine as I said on Vista SP 1 32 bit
