AutoHotkey / Question about AutoHotkey assignment 2
« on: June 13, 2011, 03:18 PM »
A while ago I have started work on AutoHotkey assignment two. Due to work and other interruptions I wasn't able to finish the task.

Now I've taken a look at it again and I can see that I was stuck at the problem that is described in the assignment as "a place to specify a file".

The way I understand it, I have to be able to select from the settings menu a specific file the path of which is shown in the menu. I suppose there should be some kind of "Browse" button.

I can't seem to figure out how to store the path in the text box.

Could someone please point me to the correct AutoHotkey commands? Please?

I thought about posting the problem to the AutoHotkey forum, but I don't know if that would be considered cheating. I'm just so damned honest!

Thanks,
TTP

Post New Requests Here / IDEA - Extract folder and file paths from specified folders
« on: August 31, 2009, 02:04 PM »
Dear Coders,

I'm a non-programmer with only basic scripting skills.

I want to mass-extract file names from a folder and write them to a text file. The "\" in the path should be converted to "<". An AutoHotkey script would be great because there is a chance that I might be able to modify it.

Steps:
1. Select folder from a menu
2. Extract folder paths and convert them to my desired format:
P:\Z_Systems\Favoriten yields the following:
P:<Z_Systems<Favoriten<folder 1\folder 1
P:<Z_Systems<Favoriten<some other folder\some other folder
Mind that there should be a backslash after the actual folder name followed by the last folder name.
It should issue a warning should one of the paths have more than 127 characters. I will put in that warning by myself later.
...
3. Write these files to a text file that is saved on the desktop.
... That's it.

It would be kind of nifty if I would be able to select between files and folders at the beginning (either one or the other should be extracted, but not both).
P:<Z_Systems<Favoriten<file 1.doc\file 1.doc

Thank you so much!
