Thanks for all your replies to my plea for help.
Bruce, I have tried your approach, but in my first attempt at
scripting I am getting it round my ears.
My PproShutdown script (Saveprogs.powerpro) is as follows:
local handle,i,vector1,windows
windows=win.handlelist("*",0)
vector1=vec.create(20,10)
for(i=1;1;i=i+1)
handle=word(windows,i)
if (handle=="")
break
vec.bininsert(vector1,win.exepath(handle))
endfor
file.writeall("C:\Utilities\PowerPro\Scripts\Path.txt",vec.makelines
(vector1))
For reasons which I do not understand this creates a file called
UtilitiesPowerProScriptsPath.txt on my desktop! However, the contents
look reasonable.
My Startup Scheduler script (Loadprogs.powerpro) goes like this:
local fp,i,exe
fp=file.open("C:\Utilities\PowerPro\Scripts\Path.txt","r")
for(i=1;1;i=i+1)
exe=file.readline(fp)
if (exe=="")
break
do (exe)
endfor
file.close(fp)
This stops with a message
Error running command (2). File not found
C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE
(followed by a blank line)
Wordpad is the first line in Path.txt, but in the debug window there
is an unprintable character following the path (which is probably
what creates the blank line and the error message if it's added onto
the filename) and there is a number 100 on the next line.
In exchange for the entertainment value provided by my poor logic, I
would be grateful if you could straighten me out. Many thanks.
