    @Chimp - NICELY DONE! If you are ever so inclined, would like, please, options to control which monitors to have the aquarium or all of them at once while fishes swim between them.
  2. coffeeturtle
    Thank you! I will check into it.

    Like the _IECreate command and similar, is there an easy way to create/destroy "Apps" using the new Microsoft (Chromium based) Edge Apps feature? These "Apps" are a lot like _IECreateEmbedded() but with a few other tools in the title bar like back and refresh, Chromium engine, and Win10 treats them a lot like real apps. I would like to use these through AutoIT, creating and destroying these APPS on the fly. Is it possible, please? Thank you.

    GPT conversion is a go! Thank you. The mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullOS command worked without a hitch and more smoothly than I anticipated. The drive is now listed as GPT and my BIOS Mode = UEFI. There are some other things I have to check out, but all is good! Thank you again!

    Thanks. It used to work though. I think it was my fault when I was cloning the drive to use an SSD. I must have reverted the drive to MBR instead of GPT. Even if this isn't the issue, I think I would like to have the drive back as a GPT drive anyway...and hopefully I can use UEFI again as well-icing on the cake. Since we last talked, I went ahead and cloned the SSD to an HDD I still had as a backup and precaution before attempting anything. Won't have much time this weekend, but I can update you to how it goes using your instructions if I get anything done.

    Thank you so much! The option to go into UEFI is there, but when I hit enter on it, it doesn't do anything. I'm guessing since the OS is on an MBR HDD as opposed to GPT. Maybe?

    As I wrote my previous response a light bulb went off in my head. I think I am now on the right path to fixing my issue (and solve the mystery why I may have lost UEFI): 😁
  8. coffeeturtle
    Thanks. I used to be able to access the UEFI settings. The last thing I did was turn off the WiFi card as it wasn't necessary at the time in the UEFI settings. Of course, now I need to turn it back on and going though the Legacy BIOS the setting isn't there. I believe the machine was still Windows 7, but upgraded to Windows 10 when the free offer was first available. I know these forums aren't really the place for this discussion, but I was hoping since the OP and others here were familiar with obtaining the setting, they may have been involved with projects that might have had similar experiences as mine.
  9. coffeeturtle
    Any ideas if the system returns true UEFI is enabled, but you are not able to enter UEFI ... just the legacy BIOS. How to correct this?
  10. coffeeturtle
    you were right, UEZ. Updated and all is good. Thanks.

    Hmmm.... good question. I am on 3.3.14.3. Apparently, I am two minor versions behind as the current one is 3.3.14.5. Looks like there are no script breaking changes between .3 and .5...I will update and retry today, UEZ. Thanks.

    Just out of curiosity, I ran the example with the built-in screen shot on my Windows 10 machine. It doesn't seem to work any longer. Am I right? #include <ScreenCapture.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Capture full screen _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg") ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg") ; Capture region _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image2.jpg", 0, 0, 796, 596) ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image2.jpg") EndFunc ;==>Example Thanks for any feedback.

    Thank you for sharing! By the way, Marc, if something interrupts the copy half-way (a PC crash or something), will the copy when restarted pickup where it left off, or will it start all over (maybe ignoring files that were completely copied)? Thanks!
  14. coffeeturtle
    @Polymath Thank you! This is nice! I guess you're using msgbox for demonstrative purposes. Easier to see output though when maybe just add #include <Array.au3> at the top and instead of the msgBox to display each value one at a time, just use _ArrayDisplay($a_array) (outside of the loop) (you probably already knew that) Thanks again though!

    This might help...You could start here: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Ping.htm
  16. coffeeturtle
    Thank you! Much better! $iMode [optional] Integer representing reading mode. Default is 0 (charset is decoded as it is ANSI). I should have played around with that.

    Sometimes when pulling text from a site to display in a msgbox, I get "garbage" characters that I need to replace/remove: $sPull = _WinHttpReadData($hRequest) $sPull = StringRegExpReplace($sPull, "’", "'") $sPull= StringRegExpReplace($sPull, "€", "'") $sPull= StringRegExpReplace($sPull, "â€", "'") $sPull= StringRegExpReplace($sPull, "—", " ") $sPull= StringRegExpReplace($sPull, "Â", "") Is there a way to avoid getting these characters as they don't appear in the text of the websites? Should I be using a different function altogether instead of _WinHttpReadData()? Thank you for your help.

    Programs like Ditto are a great augmentation to the Windows clipboard where it keeps a list of items you copy and paste and you can go back to days, weeks, months later. It also comes in handy for multiple copied items you need to paste over and over again. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ditto-cp/ Windows 10 also now has a clipboard history capability (though not as robust, I think, as Ditto). https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-new-clipboard-windows-10-october-2018-update I would like to simulate this type of clipboard history into my own apps independent of Windows' clipboard, but I haven't a clue as to where to begin. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, examples, shelved codes. ☺

    Thanks @Nine Yeah, I was considering doing the entire program directory, but I need to take note next time if the temp files are being created in the temp folder. If so, I wouldn't want to exclude the temp folder from being scanned. (Not sure if I could use '*' like autoitemp*.* or something). Then the matter of even my compiled scripts not running smoothly on my other machines unless I exclude their directories as well on each. (Guess I was looking for a quick fix). Probably my included/embedded files within the main script is what triggers Microsoft Windows Security.

    Just noticed recently that Windows Security/Defender/Antivirus started interfering at times with my compiles. It isn't blocking the autoit compiler, but it is flagging the temp files it generates as something that it wants to report to Microsoft. The fact that it is prompting this on the temp file that is in use by the autoit compiler, kinds of puts a hiccup in the compiler's ability to finish. Canceling it or whatever gets you around it, but is there a way to prevent this? Moreover, Windows Security is pretty aggressive in trying to stop my other compiled scripts from running (which I have excluded now from scans). Still, I have multiple machines... Any insights appreciated.

    Much appreciated. They all worked!

    Need to perform a StringReplace of the em dash and en dash to strip them from web content pages. Em dash character is not a part of the ASCII character set. So if I copy and paste an em dash into SciTE it merely appears as a hyphen and therefore no search results. So instead of seeing: StringReplace($TtextClean, "—", " ") it looks like this: For example: StringReplace($TtextClean, "-", " ") appears correctly on the webpage. Any suggestions, please? Thank you.

    This thead is for highlighting examples of working scripts. You need the HELP forum.
