hi! i need help with some script

[eitrnel]

hi !

i need script that will do the following:

first it will read info from a text file (lets say it will be numeric - '1' or '2')

if the number is '1' it will press F8, minimize file named 'media.exe' (this fie is always running on background),

and then it will open file named '1.exe' and run it for 15 minutes, and change the value on the text file to '2'

and if the number is '2'

it will close file named '1.exe, Press F8, and maximize 'media.exe' and change the value in the text file to '1'

i hope i was clear tnx!

eitrnel,

Hello and welcome to the AutoIt forums. You will find lots of help here, but we do expect you do do some work first.

Go and read the Help file and the excellent tutorials that you can find here and here.

Then when you have some code, even if it does not work, come back and ask for help again. You will be amazed at the difference!

Hint: Start by looking at the following functions:

FileOpen, FileRead, FileWrite, FileClose, Send, WinSetState, Run, WinClose, TimerInit, TimerDiff

That should get you started! ;-)

HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_EXIT')
Dim $sTxt, $iInterval = 60*1000
Dim $sTitle, $hWin

$sTxt = FileRead(@ScriptDir & '\Test.txt', 1)
$sTitle = ''
$hWin = WinGetHandle($sTitle)

While 1 
    If $sTxt = '1' Then
        Send('{F8}')
        WinSetState($hWin, '', @SW_MINIMIZE)
        Run(@ScriptDir & '\1.exe')
        Sleep(15*$iInterval)
    Else
        If $sTxt = '2'
            ProcessClose('1.exe')
            Send('{F8}')
            WinSetState($hWin, '', @SW_MAXIMIZE)
        EndIf
    EndIf

    Sleep(20)
WEnd
        
Func _EXIT()
    Exit
EndFunc

I didn't bother to check this as I don't know what is the title of media.exe window.

Im backkkk

ok, so i got this code

ProcessClose("1.exe")

WinSetState($hWin, '', @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Send('{F8}')

Sleep((5) * ($iInterval))

but 1.exe wont close, it's still on the background

any ideas?

Post the full code

Maybe try ProcessWaitClose?

still not working

here's the code

CODE

HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_EXIT')

Dim $sPresToShow, $iInterval = 60*1000

Dim $sTitle, $hWin

$sPresToShow = 1

$sTitle = ''

$hWin = WinGetHandle($sTitle)

while True

if $sPresToShow > 3 then

$sPresToShow = 1

endif

Send('{F8}')

WinSetState($hWin, '', @SW_MINIMIZE)

Run("1.exe")

$sPresToShow = $sPresToShow + 1

Sleep((1) * ($iInterval))

ProcessClose("1.exe")

WinSetState($hWin, '', @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Send('{F8}')

Sleep((5) * ($iInterval))

WEnd

Func _EXIT()

Exit

EndFunc

UP?

[eitrnel]

ok! i understand my problem

i closed another process instead of mine

so, i got another question

how do i make this code to be correct with autoit Syntax

Run("Variable.exe")

("Variable" is a variable number of course, and not specific name of file)

tnx guys!!

Very easy :

$var1 = 111
MsgBox (4096, "Test", "c:\" & $var1 & ".exe")
