Wow it's d**n cool tool now
Thank You very much!
Tested - works like charm

And i hope you can help me in next, or someone else, please :
I can't figure out how to make right regular expression matching...

In AutoIt, script returns value for $OSsName variable
Microsoft Windows 7 Максимальная |C:\Windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1
i need to remove |C:\Windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 + if this text be changed...

How to get rid of all text after "|" character + character "|"? i mean to have only a Microsoft Windows 7 Максимальная...

am i using right way to do this?

Code: Select all

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\dump.ini", "Info", "OS_Name", StringRegExpReplace($OSsName, "???", ""))

Code: Select all

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\dump.ini", "Info", "OS_Name", StringRegExpReplace($OSsName, " |.*", ""))

That SHOULD work. Of course, this assumes that there is no pipe (|) in the Computer name itself.

Thanks for answer and help, but it's not works. It removes all text instead. But i have good news . Digging around the AutoIt manual i've found a solution

First, i used
$OS_array = StringSplit($OSsName, "|", 1)
Then
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\dump.ini", "Info", "OS_Name", $OS_array[1])
And it works like it was needed to Yey!

[santa_ryan]

It shouldnt remove... oh shit


lol forgot that a | is a command in a regexp. if u use this it would work..

Code: Select all

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\dump.ini", "Info", "OS_Name", StringRegExpReplace($OSsName, " /|.*", ""))

and yes split string works.

Just implanted RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe into my dock! awesome tool i must say, great work, thank you santa_ryan

i've noticed that tool works only if process was loaded by this tool, may be i'm wrong? or it is because of when process (program) was loaded before tool. Well this is not so important
Is there a way to make minimize ability?

Thanks again.

EDIT:
i diged a manual and found next (may be it would help )
WinSetState and WinExists , i'm not so good in AutoIt scripting and i'm sure you know better about how to use them

Some processes just DONT play nicely with winsetstate and other methods i have tried. For instance, itunes doesn't like it at ALL. :<
Also, if running multiple instances of the same program, the one with the highest PID will be maximized. This does NOT necessarily mean the one that was started first. You need to look up PIDs to understand what I'm talking about.

How do you want it implemented? I don't know what you mean.

Yea, i'm afraid i wasn't clear much in what i need, sry
I would be happy to have ability to "show" "hide" windows from taskbar
Well, algorithm i would to use is:
First, as it already implanted in tool, to check if the program is running or not. If not, execute to load, if yes, check its state (if this possible), if this "hidden" in taskbar - maximize it and vise versa

sorry for my english, i hope you understand me

[santa_ryan]

Ah... so it goes like this?

If NOT running Then
-Run Program
Else
-If NOT Maximized Then
--Maximize
-Else
--Minimize
-EndIf
EndIf

So that..
If you click the app icon while its maximized it will minimize and vice versa?

RunMinimizeOrMaximizeProgram.zip

If what i said is true then here you go:

Yes! yes! yes! this is what i wanted, and it works perfectly. Thank you very much for your big help
Now my dock almost like rocketdock or mac dock
