[R33F]

Hi all,

I am a newbie in auto it. I have written a code to display information Computer name, logged on user name and time in GUI.Now I want the information to be displayed in notepad and get it saved in Temp directory in c drive.I tried using the Run(Notepad.exe) wherein it opens the notepad.Also used the Send function to get the system information displayed but it is just opening the notepad.

Here is the code where in the system information would open in a Dialog box with text boxes.Now i Need the same information in notepad and save it in the temp directory in c drive.Need Help please.Its driving me crazy!!!!

I see your atleast somewhat famaliar with AutoIt, and I'm sure you've spent a bit of time in the help file, the functions your wanting to look at for storing information will be 1 of the following, decided by preference.

FileWrite()

FileWriteLine()

IniWrite()

IniWrite() is a little more complicated at first, so I suggest FileWriteLine(), you can find all the information you need by looking in the help file, but here is a quick example...

FileWriteLine(@ScriptDir & "\Info.txt","ComputerName: "@ComputerName)
FileWriteLine(@ScriptDir & "\Info.txt","Username: "@Username)
FileWriteLine(@ScriptDir & "\Info.txt","Time: "_Now())

P.S. In order to get your code snips to look all pretty on the forums, use "autoit" & "/autoit" tags, don't forget the brackets though...

Hi.

If this is always about the current user on the current machine, this might be what you are looking for:

#include <date.au3>

$MyLogfile="C:\PC-User-Timestamp.log" ; change to e.g. "\\MyServer\Someshare\PC-User-Timestamp.log"

filewriteline($MyLogfile,"Computername=" & @ComputerName & @TAB & "Username=" & @UserName & @TAB & _NowCalcDate() & "@" & _NowTime(5) & @CRLF)
run ("notepad " & $mylogfile)

regards, Rudi.

Glad to help.

If you hard code the destination file and kick the run("Notepad " ....), then it's just ONE line (plus another one for the include statement)

#include <date.au3>
filewriteline("\\Server\Share\my.log","Computername=" & @ComputerName & @TAB & "Username=" & @UserName & @TAB & _NowCalcDate() & "@" & _NowTime(5) & @CRLF)

Take care, that everybody has granted sufficent access rights to the log file. (e.g. NTFS and SHARE rights for a Windooze Server)

Regards, Rudi.

ini arent that hard to learn..

(these are example of ONE way to do it)

#1 you need the Func

iniwrite ()oÝ÷ Ûl¨ºww*.­Ø«yËh¯&¦¤X¥zv¦y«­¢+Ù%¹¥ÝÉ¥Ñ ÌäíèÀäÈíQMPÀäÈíQMP¹¥¹¤Ìäì¤oÝ÷ Û|¨ºwvØ^±ç-ÚºÚ"µÍ[]Ü]H

thats all you need to know about iniwrite() & iniread ()

NOW there are alot more ini functions in the helpfile so have fun
