jbc1 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, I need some help updating an XML file using AutoIT. My XML file looks like this: CODE<?xml version="1.0"?> <status script="test1.exe"> </status> I need to update this each time a new script runs with the name of the new script, i.e. if a script called 'test2.exe' was ran, the script attribute would be updated to 'test2.exe'. Here is my (NOT WORKING) code, can anybody help me out here ?? expandcollapse popup; Update status.xml file with current script running $filename = @ScriptDir & "\status.xml" $oXML = _CreateMSXMLObj() If Not IsObj($oXML) Then ; log message here EndIf $oXML.async = False $error = $oXML.Load($filename) If Not $error Then ; log message here EndIf ; XML processing $oXMLRoot = $oXML.documentElement $oStatusNode = $oXML.selectSingleNode("//status") $oStatusNode.setattribute("script", @ScriptName) Func _CreateMSXMLObj() ; Creates a MSXML instance depending on the version installed on the system $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.6.0") ; Latest available, default in Vista If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.5.0") ; Office 2003 If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.4.0") If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.3.0") ; XP and w2k3 server If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.2.6") ; Win98 ME... If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj Return 0 EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenobiologist Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, how should the xml look like after inserting a few scripts? There is also a XMLDOMWrapper in S&S.

jbc1 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi,how should the xml look like after inserting a few scripts? There is also a XMLDOMWrapper in S&S.MegaThe only thing that changes in the XML is the value of the 'scritp' attribute. Only one script is being run at a tim, so this value should just reflect the running script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenobiologist Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, then just read the file and replace the value between <status script=" and > Mega Scripts & functions Organize Includes Let Scite organize the include files Yahtzee The game "Yahtzee" (Kniffel, DiceLion) LoginWrapper Secure scripts by adding a query (authentication) _RunOnlyOnThis UDF Make sure that a script can only be executed on ...

weaponx Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Your code is fine, you just need to finish it. If you add this after "setattribute" you will see the xml is correct: ConsoleWrite($oXML.xml & @CRLF) You aren't saving it though. $oXML.save($filename) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm an idiot for assuming it auto-saved after I wrote to the file. Thanks again, jbc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have achieved the rank of "bonehead". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
