Automate Sage Line 50 Backup

[atwright]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to automate the backup of Sage Line 50 (accounting software). How would I scrape the company name from the backup window, then echo it into the filename field?

Here is the AU3info Summary (I need the text which reads "**Company Name Text**"):

I need the filename field to change to: "**Company Name** SageBack 24-08-2008.001" (the stars are just to make it easier to spot).

Any help you can offer would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my question...

I don't know your SW, but I assume, that this is a control offering the backup file name "24-08-2008.001"?

Use the autoit window info tool to get the name of that control. Then use $CurrentText=ControlGetText() to read, what's in there.

Use $NewText="Company Name" & $CurrentText to modify as needed.

Use ControlSetText() to "drop" $NewText with the file name you need into yuor dialog.

Regards, Rudi.
