Files open (in use) by certain process

[Undutchable]

Hi guys,

Will I be getting into a nightmare if I pursue a way to find which files a process is using (or open by it)?

From a quick googling I see it has to do with open handles and enumerating them?

Any help from AutoIt in terms of functions, even if API related?

Thanks and Cheers!

I seem to recall there being a UDF somewhere that can be used to find open handles, but as I recall it had certain issues. You could always write a wrapper around Sysinternal's handle:

Great Info TurionAltec

by wrapper you mean a FileInstall() with a later ShellExecute() ?

maybe a stupid question but still kinda novice here

Thanks!

Yeah, but maybe more Run() with StdoutRead().

[TurionAltec]

Fileinstall yes.

I would user Run instead as you can use it to capture the Stdout of Handle.exe (the text output) and process it using stdoutread.

Also note, the registry entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\Handle\EulaAccepted

will keep handle.exe from popping up the EULA.

Also note that you're "not supposed" to redistribute sysinternals tools, so it should be for your "own uses"

Awesome!

Thanks to both!
