This script works if WordPad is opened, but crashes if WordPad is not opened.

code:

---

Break On
SetConsole("AlwaysOnTop")
$WinTittle = "Document - WordPad"
If SetFocus("$WinTittle") = 0
	$Err = SendKeys("~{F4}")
EndIf
Return

---

I have tested this for Win95 and WinNT

Try this one:

CopyPasteNotepad.kix

code:

---

break on cls del "c:\filename.txt"

; write your name to a blank screen
@userid ?

; copy this to the clipboard
$=sendkeys("~ es{enter}")

; run notepad
run "notepad"

; loop until notepad has focus
while setfocus("Untitled - Notepad")<>0 loop

; uncomment ONE of the following only:

; paste clipboard to notepad
$=sendkeys("^v")

; paste clipboard, save as 'c:\filename.txt' and exit notepad
;$=sendkeys("^v^sc:\filename.txt{enter}~{f4}")

---

The While...Loop causes the script to pause until notepad is running.

Have you tested your script with Kix2001 ?

I have tested your script with both Ki32.exe and Kix32c.exe, Both versions crash when they meet SetFocus()

I use SetFocus() to test for the existance af a window in my main script (about 1200 lines), the SetFocus() function was the only one giving trouble.

By the way the only difference for Kix32 and Kix32c i have observed is that Kix32 is the consoleless version starting a new instance of "DOS", where Kix32c stays in the current window.

I tested with both Kix32 and Kix32c and both work.

I do not have notepad running when the script runs as the script launches notepad already. If notepad IS running, the script opens a new one and uses it instead.

Are you getting an error.

Kix32.exe and Kix32c.exe are the same except that Kix32c.exe uses the current command prompt window.

I dressed my original script for the previous post, here is the original.

copypastenotepad.kix

code:

---

break on
cls

@wksta ", 123.45.67" ?
$=sendkeys("~ es{enter}")

run "notepad"
while setfocus("Untitled - Notepad")<>0 loop

$=sendkeys("^v^sc:\scripts\filename.txt{enter}~{f4}")

Thanks again,

Judging by the dates of the posts you were using beta 1.

A setfocus() causes a program error(dr watson) on my win2k workstation.
