Write info To A Text File

[Old Fellow]

Hi...

I am after a bit of help in writing some info to a .txt file.

I have made a quick example of what I have so far but what I want to do is take some information from a paragraph

C:\Users\Malcs\Desktop\Test\[en-gb]_en-gb_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_20h2_updat ed_feb_2021_x64_dvd_1b81c45e.svf

Take its file name

[en-gb]_en-gb_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_20h2_updat ed_feb_2021_x64_dvd_1b81c45e.svf

and save as a .text file named as the file name, above.

I have a button

PG_Image = Paragraph.GetText("Paragraph1");


bFileParts = String.SplitPath(PG_Image);
bDrive = bFileParts.Drive;
bFolder = bFileParts.Folder;
bFileName = bFileParts.Filename;
bFileExtension = bFileParts.Extension;
bFullFileName = bFileName..bFileExtension;
bCurrentFolder = bDrive..bFolder


--TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder .. "\\Image_Name.txt", bFileName, false);

TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder .. bFileName, bFileName, false);


--File.Open(bCurrentFolder .. "\\Image_Name.txt", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

As it stands the a file is created but not as a .txt and if I put

bFileName.txt

I get errors.

I dont know how to write the script so I end up with

[en-gb]_en-gb_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_20h2_updat ed_feb_2021_x64_dvd_1b81c45e.txt

Hoping somebody can help me out here...

Cheers

Check the attached apz

Changed below code so it will create txt file and name it with bFileName
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "Test Script", false);

Or you can use "shell getfolder" to get the user desktop path
Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP);

Beautiful...

Thanks for that, really appreciate it.

I have this working a treat in my project.

Let me explain why I wanted to do this.
Once I have downloaded the images, checked and verified their checksum values I always made a text document adding all the relative information of the file, image name, the checksum values and time and date. Never took that long to do to be honest but now it does it automatically.

I have been testing this, it works really well and I am well happy with the outcome.

Thanks very much miliachref for your input.

This is my script

-- Save info to a text document
ImageInput = Input.GetText("ImageInput");
ImageName = Paragraph.GetText("ImageName");

Month = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_MONTH);
Year = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_YEAR);
Date = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_EUROPE);
Hour = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);

KnownSHA1ChecksumValue = Paragraph.GetText("KnownSHA1ChecksumValue");
CalculatedSHA1ChecksumValue = Paragraph.GetText("CalculatedSHA1ChecksumValue");

bFileParts = String.SplitPath(ImageInput);
bDrive = bFileParts.Drive;
bFolder = bFileParts.Folder;
bFileName = bFileParts.Filename;
bFileExtension = bFileParts.Extension;
bFullFileName = bFileName..bFileExtension;
bCurrentFolder = bDrive..bFolder

TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", bFileName, false);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\n" ..ImageName, true);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\nDownloaded  - " ..Month.."/"..Year, true);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\nKnown SHA1 Checksum Value = " ..KnownSHA1ChecksumValue, true);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\nCalculated SHA1 Checksum Value = " ..CalculatedSHA1ChecksumValue, true);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\nSHA1 checksum checked and verified - "..Date.." at "..Hour , true);
TextFile.WriteFromString(bCurrentFolder..bFileName ..".txt", "\r\n\r\nVeriHash" , true);
-- End Of - Save info to a text document

Not sure if all that info can be written in one line but I wont worry about that.

Cheers...

P.S.

Getting very near in asking how to incorporate a progress bar, so if you know how to do these and you're reading this please keep an eye out on a future post asking for help from me.

Since what your doing would be way two fast for any progressbar you would have to fake it

Thanks for the interest but that is not what I want my progress bar for.

I am making a checksum calculator, verifier.

It takes between 20 seconds to 1 minute depending on image size. I know this is very little detail to go on but what do those time frames sound like ? Slow enough for a progress bar ?

I will be starting a new thread on the matter...

Cheers though..

Then use the search no need to create a new post for it as not really many active people anymore, there are loads of progress bar examples

Yep... I have got a couple of those. Just cant get my head round it.

Think I will make a new post all the same and cross my fingers...
