file found (hdd-windows path)

[paul186]

hi im doing this action

found = File.Find(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_FONTS), "winlogon.exe", true, false);
		if (found) then
    		Zip.Add("AutoPlay\\Docs\\backup.zip", found[1], false, "", 9, nil, false);

but i want that the file.find search winlogon.exe in the hdd/windows directory and not in the fonts path, how can i do it? i tough about C:/windows but theres some computers that is another letter different than c,for example D:/Windows...
is there any SHF_HDD? or SHF_Windows??

[RizlaUK]

AMS has many built in variables for that kind of stuff

you can use

_WindowsFolder

inplace of

Shell.GetFolder(SHF_FONTS)

eg

found = File.Find(_WindowsFolder, "winlogon.exe", true, false);

Sorry to interrupt & interfere, but winlogon.exe is NOT found in the fonts folder, it is in C:\windows\system32\
HTH

yeah i know that winlogon is in system32 but now i have another problem,
with that code the program didt make a backup zip of this file...
it returns me the next error:

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false);
	found = File.Find(_WindowsFolder, "winlogon.exe", true, false);
		if (found) then
		    Dialog.Message("Found one!", "The first PDF file found was:" .. found[1]);
    		Zip.Add("AutoPlay\\Docs\\backup.zip", found[1], "", 9, nil, false);
    		StatusDlg.Hide();

		end

ERROR:
On show - line 29 argument 2 must be a type of string...

ithink its in the "found[1]" that returns me C:/Windows/system32/winlogon.exe instead of C\\windows... but i dont know how to change this syntax or if this the problem

Should it not be:

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false);
	found = File.Find(_SystemFolder, "winlogon.exe", true, false);
		if (found) then
		    Dialog.Message("Found one!", "The first PDF file found was:" .. found[1]);
    		Zip.Add("AutoPlay\\Docs\\backup.zip", found[1], "", 9, nil, false);
    		StatusDlg.Hide();

		end

As this is the path?
sorry I cannot test this as I am not at my normal machine, and I dont have AMS on this 1

--if the option of making backup is set to 1 (true) search file and make the backup, else do nothing

if tabText[7] == "1" then
	StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false);
	found = File.Find(_WindowsFolder, "winlogon.exe", true, false);
		if (found) then
		    Dialog.Message("Found one!", "The first PDF file found was:" .. found[1]);
    		Zip.Add("AutoPlay\\Docs\\backup.zip", found[1], false, "", 9, nil, false);
    		StatusDlg.Hide();

		end
else 
end

i attach the 3 images of the dialogs, messages, and error

As I said, I dont have AMS on this machine I am using at the moment, I am out in the cold, dark shed managing my server lol

I'm sure that somebody will help soon though

[paul186]

dont work a lot and get hot! thanks anyway

[screwed over]

maybe it would help if you pointed out exactly which line is line 29. i know i cant find errors unless the exact line is oointed out by the debugger.

here is the screenshoot of the code

[RizlaUK]

its already telling you what the error is


remove the "[1]" from found in the zip add function, it requires a table and you passed 1 table item

[paul186]

lol i was crazy for this error and that was only this thing... im silly!!!!!!!

lot of thanx RizlaUK now its fixed

[RizlaUK]

lol, silly mistakes are vital to the learning process, now you know for next time
