1. FileMove()

2.post your code

3.search on forum - there are many examples

Hey,

first of all, most of it can be found in the helpfile, for writing (and debugging) your scripts use SciTE4AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.shtml) and then if you have an error, like you have with FileInstall you can post the error message SciTE4AutoIt generates.

1.) you can use FileCopy or FileMove

FileCopy("D:\desktop.ini", "D:\desktop.ini.bak")

2.) This could be for alot of reasons, most common is that people dont know (or forget) that the 1st param of FileInstall must be a literal string.

Obviously also the file must exist.

$sFileDestination = 'file.txt'
FileInstall("Path\To\File.txt", sFileDestination)

3.) not sure what you mean here, might wanna search for GDI (or some else can answer this one)

check this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...2&hl=resize

i'd searched carefully in this forum but i still have problem! may be i don't understand not much!

1) i used

If FileExists($r1&":\autorun.inf") Then 
            FileCopy($r1&"\desktop.ini",$r1&"\desktop.ini.bak")
            FileDelete($r1&"\desktop.ini[/codebox] but it can rename desktop.ini without delete desktop.ini

2) my scripts here:

FileInstall(@ScriptDir&"\EzSkin\Skin.dat",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall(@ScriptDir&"\EzSkin\0.bmp",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall(@ScriptDir&"\EzSkin\1.bmp", @TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall(@ScriptDir&"\EzSkin\2.bmp", @TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)

but it still have "invalid FileInstall() function"

3) i had read this topic. In this topic i found [code_ImageResize("C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\bliss.bmp", @ScriptDir & "\Bliss.jpg", 400, 300)

i mean, my input image can change and i want the out put image should have the input image name (not default name like "Name.bmp"

because the fileinstall() is invalid. You might take another look at the help file item.

Hint

The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcards.

That includes macros like @ScriptDir.

Hint 2. If it is in @ScriptDir then just pass it the file name

[LeHuynhNam]

i have change to default like this:

FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\Skin.dat",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\0.bmp",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\1.bmp", @TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)

but the msg box "invalid fileinstall() function" still appear

[Jos]

those statements are correct..

Show the rest of the code thats infront of these lines.

here it is:

#include <ComboConstants.au3> 
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include<string.au3>
#include <EzSkin.au3>

#include <ModernMenu.au3>#include <File.au3>

Const $AW_BLEND = 0x00080000
Const $AW_HIDE = 0x00010000

If Not FileExists(@TempDir&"\Ezskin")Then
    Do
    $l=DirCreate(@TempDir&"\Ezskin")
    Until FileExists(@TempDir&"\Ezskin")
EndIf

FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\Skin.dat",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\0.bmp",@TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\ANHNAM\My Documents\Example\EzSkin\1.bmp", @TempDir&"\Ezskin\", 1)

Hey,

1.) If you want the file to still exist after backup use FileCopy if not then use FileMove

If FileExists($r1&":\autorun.inf") Then FileCopy($r1&"\desktop.ini",$r1&"\desktop.ini.bak")
; or 
If FileExists($r1&":\autorun.inf") Then FileMove($r1&"\desktop.ini",$r1&"\desktop.ini.bak")oÝ÷ Ûa9*¶Æ¢v+ZV®¶­sdfÆTç7FÆÂgV÷C´W¥6¶âb3#µ6¶âæFBgV÷C²ÂFV×F"fײgV÷C²b3#´W§6¶âb3#µ6¶âæFBgV÷C²Â¤fÆTç7FÆÂgV÷C´W¥6¶âb3#²b3C²æ&×gV÷C²ÂFV×F"fײgV÷C²b3#´W§6¶âb3#²b3C²æ&×gV÷C²Â¤fÆTç7FÆÂgV÷C´W¥6¶âb3#³æ&×gV÷C²ÂFV×F"fײgV÷C²b3#´W§6¶âb3#³æ&×gV÷C²Â¤fÆTç7FÆÂgV÷C´W¥6¶âb3#³"æ&×gV÷C²ÂFV×F"fײgV÷C²b3#´W§6¶âb3#³"æ&×gV÷C²ÂoÝ÷ Û|¨¹Æ§ºÇjØR¦X­~í+ºÚ"µÍÚ[ÛYH    Ù[K]LÉÝÂÌÍÜÒ[YÑ[HH ][ÝÐÎÌLÕÒSÕÔÉÌLÕÙXÌLÕØ[ÌLØÜË ][ÝÂÒ[XYÙTÚ^J  ÌÍÜÒ[YÑ[KØÜ  [È ][ÝÉÌLÉ][ÝÈ   [ÈÑ[PÙS[YJ   ÌÍÜÒ[YÑ[JK

[Jos]

Does this snippet also give the error?

[LeHuynhNam]

oh i found my mistake! i had 2 lines

#include <file.au3>

Sr for my mistake! thx all for helping

[Jos]

Install the Full SciTE4AutoIt3 installer, that will always run au3check by default which would have pointed you to this issue.

Jos

[LeHuynhNam]

#include <file.au3>

$sImgFile = "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\bliss.bmp"
_ImageResize($sImgFile, @ScriptDir & "\" & _FileBaseName($sImgFile), 400, 300)
    
Func _FileBaseName($sImgFile); 
    Local $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
    _PathSplit($sImgFile, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)
    Return $szFName & $szExt
EndFunc

i want the $imgfile can be *.jpg or *.gif but when it was resize this image is *.bmp and the name of the image isn't changed

How can i do

[Valuater]

That answer is here

Return $szFName & $szExt

you can change the "NAME ONLY" like this

Return $szFName & ".jpg"

****************

VERY IMPORTANT

****************

Just because you change the "name" of the file...

IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FILE TYPE!

it will not "load" as a jpg or any other name you give it

and Jos, thank you a lot
