Code Help

[Widget]

Hello,

I'm trying to read a text file and find a key word "Cleaned" and if that keyword is found, I want it to run a batch file. If the keyword is not found then exit the application. Having issues with the if then syntax.

Any help would be great. Thanks


[CODE][/
binString = TextFile.ReadToString("C:\\ProgramData\\McAfee\\De sktopProtection\\OnDemandScanlog.txt");

arg = Input.GetText("Input1")
Where = String.Find(""..binString, ""..arg, 1, true)
--Dialog.Message("Data found at file pos:", ""..Where)

if arg == true then

File.Open("AutoPlay\\Docs\\VirusLog.bat", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Application.Sleep(10000);

File.Delete("C:\\ProgramData\\McAfee\\DesktopProte ction\\OnDemandScanlog.txt", false, false, false, nil);

Application.Exit(0);

elseif arg == false then

Application.Exit(0);

endCODE]

Your code is very wrong that is why, you get the text from a input box what would be a string format you check the string and store it in Where so you need to check if find found

so

if Where ~= -1 then
do something
else
do something else
end

Thanks That worked!

I do have another question. I'm trying to open a log file in APMS (File attached) to a paragraph. However, It only shows garbage... How can I convert this to a text file, so I can use the string.find command I tried renaming to txt and that did not working.

Is it possible to have APMS open the file with notepad and save it with a different name?

Thanks!

the .log file is already a text file this is the basic details in the file.

try TextFile.ReadToTable

this will read each line to a table.

Just being "already a text file" may not be enough. The log file is Unicode encoded, and Lua can work only with ANSI encoded files.

The easiest approach for this is using the Unicode plugin and convert the file to ANSI during the import into AutoPlay Media Studio. Once this is done, you can display or work with the data.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]local[/COLOR] sFile [COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] Unicode[COLOR="#FF0000"].[/COLOR]ReadToString([COLOR="#800080"]"AutoPlay[COLOR="#800080"]\\[/COLOR]Docs[COLOR="#800080"]\\[/COLOR]MPDetection.log"[/COLOR][COLOR="#FF0000"],[/COLOR] [COLOR="#800080"]"unicode"[/COLOR])[COLOR="#FF0000"];[/COLOR]
Paragraph[COLOR="#FF0000"].[/COLOR]SetText([COLOR="#800080"]"Paragraph1"[/COLOR][COLOR="#FF0000"],[/COLOR] sFile)[COLOR="#FF0000"];[/COLOR]

I tried as suggested using the below code. Paragraph is blank and no error... What did I miss.

text_contents = TextFile.ReadToTable("C:\\MPDetection.log");
Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph1", "", text_contents)

[Widget]

The plugin worked. Thanks!

[kingzooly]

The plugin worked. Thanks!

Because you can't just print a table like that, but if his plugin does the job no need for the more complex way.

AMS does not handle Unicode, as most of AMS' functions interpret each null character as the end of string character. Lua does support binary data in strings, so Unicode can be properly manipulated in Lua and even be converted to ASCII. Lua in AMS still supports Unicode, can read unicode strings and can convert a simple unicode text to ascii.

Just some extra information for those who care.
