hello

i don't know if this can be done what i'am trying to do is:

i have a list that hold path of programs...now as you know the dir name will chnage i just what the exe name to be checked and if it match do whatever

Code:

%j = @item(1,@index(Combo1))


now if i do a info %j it does show the full path of the program so how can i get match or equall to check to see if whatever.exe is in the path if not then do something else? i have played with match and equal but problem is it compares the WHOLE path not just the exe...

thanks

Hey Tim,

@match seems to work for me... Check this code out:

Code:


Title Matchtest
  DIALOG CREATE,Matchtest,-1,0,240,306
  DIALOG ADD,LIST,LIST1,41,30,180,193,,MULTI,CLICK
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,test,261,35,,,test
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,quit,262,144,64,24,quit
  DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
  wait event
  goto @event()
:testBUTTON
  %a = @dirdlg(Select dir,c:\)
  list clear,list1
  list filelist,list1,%a
  goto evloop
:LIST1CLICK
  %b = @item(list1)
  Info %b selected
  rem this removes the path from %b
  %c = @strdel(%b,1,@len(@path(%b)))
  info %c is what we will search for...
  list seek,list1,0
  wait 2
  info set index to 0 - @item(list1)
  wait 2
  %d = @match(list1,%c)
  %e = @item(list1)
  info %e selected... again
  goto evloop
:quitBUTTON
 
:Close
  exit

Still don't quite understand your issue... Perhap if you showed me more of your code... It seems to work with a combo list also...

Hi Tim,

The list commands also work for the ComboBox.

To compare only file names with just @equal():
Code:


  %lbItem = @name(@item(ListBox1)).@ext(@item(ListBox1))
  %%cbItem = @name(@item(ComboBox1)).@ext(@item(ComboBox1))
  if @equal(%%lbItem, %%cbItem)
    rem Then delete the matching item from which ever list you want.
    rem As noted above, 'List Delete,...' will only remove the currently
    rem selected item.
  end



You can also use @match() with the above variables to see if one item
from one list is in the other.

ok what i;am trying to do is

have it look for test.exe make sure that is in the path before it runs it if not then don't run it...

here is the code ( its to big to post it all but this is the part i'am talking about

Code:

DIALOG ADD,COMBO,Combo1,18,9,279,21,,,LIST,CLICK,BigText


Code:

LIST CREATE, 1
LIST ADD, Combo1, "Please Select.................>"
LIST ADD, 1, ""
LIST ADD, Combo1, "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
LIST ADD, 1, %%var0\bad.exe
LIST ADD, Combo1, %%button1
lIST ADD, 1, %%path1



Code:

:Combo1CLICK
if @equal(@index(Combo1),0)
goto EVLOOP
end
shell open, @item(1,@index(Combo1))
goto EVLOOP



now under combo1click i want it to check to see if test.exe is in the path if so then run the shell open if not do whatever...the %%button1 and %path1 are in a ini file which the program reads from... i hope i explain this better..

so the var info would be something like this:

%%button1 = My program
%%path1 = c:\whatever\whatever\test.exe
