Get a list of all open windows using AutoIt - autoit

I'm trying to get rid of my minimize, maximize and close buttons on all windows. Googling around I found this:
$h = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Notepad]")
$iOldStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($h, $GWL_STYLE)
$iNewStyle = BitXOr($iOldStyle, $WS_SYSMENU)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($h, $GWL_STYLE, $iNewStyle)
_WinAPI_ShowWindow($h, #SW_SHOW)
This works fine, so now I only need to iterate over all windows with this code, and I'm done. How do I get a list of all HWNDs in the system?

You can get a list of all open windows using WinList:
$aWindows = WinList()
For $i=1 To $aWindows[0][0]
; skip windows without a title
If $aWindows[$i][0] = '' Then ContinueLoop
;use the HWND to get the state of the window
$iWndState = WinGetState($aWindows[$i][1])
; here you could filter out the windows you don't want to modify
ConsoleWrite($aWindows[$i][0] & ': ')
If BitAND($iWndState,1) = 1 Then ConsoleWrite(' exists')
If BitAND($iWndState,2) = 2 Then ConsoleWrite(' visible')
If BitAND($iWndState,4) = 4 Then ConsoleWrite(' enabled')
If BitAND($iWndState,8) = 8 Then ConsoleWrite(' active')
If BitAND($iWndState,16) = 16 Then ConsoleWrite(' minimised')
If BitAND($iWndState,32) = 32 Then ConsoleWrite(' maximised')
ConsoleWrite(#CRLF)

SAP - Error 800A026B - The control could not be found by id

I´m dealing with the problem regarding SAP GUI automation.
I have a script shown below which is working without any problem BUT it is working only in the first window of the SAP.
When I have something open in the first window of the SAP and for example the home page of the SAP in 2nd window - I will get this error :
800A026B - The control could not be found by id.
Is there any option how to tell: If window 1 is not available try window No. 2 (Or If window No.1 is not available open a new window and perform there the script?)
Script as below:
If Not IsObject(application) Then
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
End If
If Not IsObject(connection) Then
Set connection = application.Children(0)
End If
If Not IsObject(session) Then
Set session = connection.Children(0)
End If
If IsObject(WScript) Then
WScript.ConnectObject session, "on"
WScript.ConnectObject application, "on"
End If

Thank you for any advise.
Ok, I just solve the issue so the guidance for everyone who would deal with the same problem..
If you have something open in the Window No.1 you have 2 options:
Terminate the script in Window No.1 no matter what has been open there
For the termination add /n before the name of transaction..
Open a new session and perform the script there.
For new session add /o before name of the transaction
Use Followigs:
session.findById("wnd[0]").resizeWorkingPane 159,28,false
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nName_of_Transaction"
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0
So in my code it would be:
session.findById("wnd[0]").resizeWorkingPane 159,28,false
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nZQQN_WLQN"
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/chkDY_RST").selected = true
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/chkDY_MAB").selected = true
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/chkDY_DEL").selected = true
etc...
Thank also Sandra for her help.

Android program crashes before running.when compiled for Debug

I'm developing a program using Android Studio that runs as expected when the normal APK is run, but if I compile it for Debugging, it crashes before the 1st line of code executes, so setting a brake-point on the 1st line of my code to execute, never trips.
I have already
Completely deleted the program from the test target (nexus 7)
Power offed the tablet and then restarted tablet
Power off/rebooted the development machine
Cleaned the project
Rebuilt the project.
The program still runs as expected when compiled/run without debugging.
Crashes after loading, but before running when compiled/run in debug.
Any ideas on how to try and overcome this problem would be welcome.

Well, I solved the problem myself. NOT in a way that I'd like to have solved it, or that in any way explained what caused the problem, but the problem was corrected. - I've been in IT long enough to know you need to do backups, and once I remembered I had them, I pulled the backup of a day before the problem surfaced, restored the entire directory tree when the project resided and PUFF, everything worked. Re-applied any code changes I made in the day after the backup (I keep pretty good paper notes on changes) and away I went.
- BUT -
This doesn't explain why the system was working one day and after a night of sleep, the system wouldn't work the next day. And I still have no idea how a person who received the error message I received would go about debugging/fixing the problem if he/she didn't have a good set of backups.
ALSO – it seems that someone downgraded my question. Maybe it did deserve to be downgraded, but I have no idea why it was downgraded. The question seemed reasonable to me. One day late in the evening the system worked, and the next day it didn't and the information the system offered was posted in the question.
I'd be very happy if anyone could explain to me how a person could extract information from the posted log, to find out what was wrong – or – at least explain why the question was improper enough to warrant a downgrade ?
any reasonable comments would be welcome.

How to display WebDynpro ABAP in ABAP report?

I've just started coding ABAP for a few days and I have a task to call the report from transaction SE38 and have
the report's result shown on the screen of the WebDynPro application SE80.
The report take the user input ( e.g: Material Number, Material Type, Plant, Sale Org. ) as a condition for querying, so the WebDynPro application must allow user to key in this parameters.
In some related article they were talking about using SUBMIT rep EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY and CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' but so far I really have no idea to implement it.
Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks!
You can export it to PDF. Therefore, when a user clicks on a link, you run the conversion and display the file in the browser window.
To do so, you start by creating a JOB using the following code below:
constants c_name type tbtcjob-jobname value 'YOUR_JOB_NAME'.
data v_number type tbtcjob-jobcount.
data v_print_parameters type pri_params.
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
exporting
jobname = c_name
importing
jobcount = v_number
exceptions
cant_create_job = 1
invalid_job_data = 2
jobname_missing = 3
others = 4.
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work and wait.
else.
EXIT. "// todo: err handling here
endif.
Then, you need to get the printer parameters in order to submit the report:
call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
exporting
destination = 'LP01'
immediately = space
new_list_id = 'X'
no_dialog = 'X'
user = sy-uname
importing
out_parameters = v_print_parameters
exceptions
archive_info_not_found = 1
invalid_print_params = 2
invalid_archive_params = 3
others = 4.
v_print_parameters-linct = 55.
v_print_parameters-linsz = 1.
v_print_parameters-paart = 'LETTER'.
Now you submit your report using the filters that apply. Do not forget to add the job parameters to it, as the code below shows:
submit your_report_name
to sap-spool
spool parameters v_print_parameters
without spool dynpro
with ...(insert all your filters here)
via job c_name number v_number
and return.
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work and wait.
else.
EXIT. "// todo: err handling here
endif.
After that, you close the job:
call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
exporting
jobcount = v_number
jobname = c_name
strtimmed = 'X'
exceptions
cant_start_immediate = 1
invalid_startdate = 2
jobname_missing = 3
job_close_failed = 4
job_nosteps = 5
job_notex = 6
lock_failed = 7
others = 8.
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work and wait.
else.
EXIT. "// todo: err handling here
endif.
Now the job will proceed and you'll need to wait for it to complete. Do it with a loop. Once the job is completed, you can get it's spool output and convert to PDF.
data v_rqident type tsp01-rqident.
data v_job_head type tbtcjob.
data t_job_steplist type tbtcstep occurs 0 with header line.
data t_pdf like tline occurs 0 with header line.
do 200 times.
wait up to 1 seconds.
call function 'BP_JOB_READ'
exporting
job_read_jobcount = v_number
job_read_jobname = c_name
job_read_opcode = '20'
importing
job_read_jobhead = v_job_head
tables
job_read_steplist = t_job_steplist
exceptions
invalid_opcode = 1
job_doesnt_exist = 2
job_doesnt_have_steps = 3
others = 4.
read table t_job_steplist index 1.
if not t_job_steplist-listident is initial.
v_rqident = t_job_steplist-listident.
exit.
else.
clear v_job_head.
clear t_job_steplist.
clear t_job_steplist[].
endif.
enddo.
check not v_rqident is initial.
call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
exporting
src_spoolid = v_rqident
dst_device = 'LP01'
tables
pdf = t_pdf
exceptions
err_no_abap_spooljob = 1
err_no_spooljob = 2
err_no_permission = 3
err_conv_not_possible = 4
err_bad_destdevice = 5
user_cancelled = 6
err_spoolerror = 7
err_temseerror = 8
err_btcjob_open_failed = 9
err_btcjob_submit_failed = 10
err_btcjob_close_failed = 11
others = 12.
If you're going to send it via HTTP, you may need to convert it to BASE64 as well.
field-symbols <xchar> type x.
data v_offset(10) type n.
data v_char type c.
data v_xchar(2) type x.
data v_xstringdata_aux type xstring.
data v_xstringdata type xstring.
data v_base64data type string.
data v_base64data_aux type string.
loop at t_pdf.
do 134 times.
v_offset = sy-index - 1.
v_char = t_pdf+v_offset(1).
assign v_char to <xchar> casting type x.
concatenate v_xstringdata_aux <xchar> into v_xstringdata_aux in byte mode.
enddo.
concatenate v_xstringdata v_xstringdata_aux into v_xstringdata in byte mode.
clear v_xstringdata_aux.
endloop.
call function 'SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR'
exporting
input = v_xstringdata
importing
output = v_base64data.
v_base64data_aux = v_base64data.
while strlen( v_base64data_aux ) gt 255.
clear t_base64data.
t_base64data-data = v_base64data_aux.
v_base64data_aux = v_base64data_aux+255.
append t_base64data.
endwhile.
if not v_base64data_aux is initial.
t_base64data-data = v_base64data_aux.
append t_base64data.
endif.
And you're done!
Hope it helps.
As previous speakers said, you should do extensive training before implementing such stuff in productive environment.
However, calling WebdynPro ABAP within report can be done with the help of WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE function module. You should pass there Webdyn Pro application and necessary parameters.
CALL FUNCTION 'WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE'
EXPORTING

* CONTAINER_NAME =

SUPPRESS_OUTPUT =

IMPORTING
OUT_URL = ex_url
.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

Classic ASP, IIS 8.5, CINT CLNG not working

Reinstalled my dev machine with win 8.1
Enabled ASP, installed my legacy websites that I have to maintain, installed sites as an application in IIS, enabled parent paths, send errors to browser on, full detail set on in error pages. All is working well, except when I work with numbers
I'm working in a system that captures financial data inputted by users, so often a number will be: 100.0 or
100.000 or
100 or
100,00
so I have a function that (I've used on loads of websites in the past) that will standardise the irregularities into a constant format, such as 100.00 (ie: proper decimal, always using a dot, etc)
This line now fails on win 8.1 IIS 8.5: If Cdbl(myString) = Cdbl(0) Then
Function ProperDecimal(s_String)
Dim CharPlace, DotChar, iLoop, strCurrentChar, myString
myString = TRIM(s_String)
If ISNULL(myString) OR myString = "" Then myString = 0
myString = REPLACE(myString,",",".")
'Find where the comma or dot is, ie: 100.00 is in position 3 (from the right)
CharPlace = 1
DotChar = 0
For iLoop = Len(Replace(myString, " ", "")) to 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = mid(Replace(myString, " ", ""), iLoop, 1)
If strCurrentChar = "." OR strCurrentChar = "," Then
DotChar = CharPlace
Exit For
End If
CharPlace = CharPlace + 1
Next
'If string is zero, leave it at zero, we dont need 0.00
If Cdbl(myString) = Cdbl(0) Then
'ignore it, no decimal places needed
ProperDecimal = myString
Else
'Where is the DOT
Select Case DotChar
Case 0 'eg: 100 will be converted to 100.00
ProperDecimal = (myString & ".00")
Case 1 'eg: 100. will be converted to 100.00
ProperDecimal = (myString & "00")
Case 2 'eg: 100.0 will be converted to 100.00
ProperDecimal = (myString & "0")
Case 3 'eg: 100.00 will remain
ProperDecimal = (myString)
Case Else '(4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc) 'eg: 100.001
ProperDecimal = ProperDecimal(Round(myString,2))
End Select
End If
End Function
Call ProperDecimal("112.05")
This lead me to try other methods other than CDbl
Response.write(isNumeric(s_String)) 'works, returns false because this is a string
Response.write(CINT(myString))
Response.write(CLNG(myString))
Response.write(CDBL(myString))
Returns this:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'CINT'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'CLNG'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'CDBL'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'CINT'
If I then change the If statement to convert the 0 to a string, it works:
If myString = CSTR(0) Then
But I really dont want to be comparing strings to strings especially with numbers
This is now the second project this is happening on. The previous project I had to change the decimal comma to a fullstop (112,05 had to be 112.05) so I thought it had something to do with regional settings and the comma being listed as decimal character. But am getting different results now, its driving me up the wall.. plz assist if you can. Ta
CInt on the server works fine (2008 R2), on the clients pc (windows Xp and windows 7) but on my windows 8 machine, this is an issue.
I made my own two functions which I use now instead of CInt and CDbl. You can make more if needed. Pretty simple and tested,
EDIT:
Changed the function names toe shorter versions. Easier to replace and to use. Also does not clash with Javascripts parseInt if you do a search
Function pInt(Str)
Dim val : val = 0
'==Test Comma=='
On Error Resume Next
val = CInt(Replace(Str, ".", ","))
'==Test Period=='
On Error Resume Next
val = CInt(Replace(Str, ",", "."))
On Error Goto 0
pInt = val
End Function
Function pDbl(Str)
Dim val : val = 0
'==Test Comma=='
On Error Resume Next
val = CDbl(Replace(Str, ".", ","))
'==Test Period=='
On Error Resume Next
val = CDbl(Replace(Str, ",", "."))
On Error Goto 0
pDbl = val
End Function
I am not a pro in ClassicASP/VBScript but this works. I like my C# ASP.net

Can openoffice count words from console?

i have a small problem i need to count words inside the console to read doc, docx, pptx, ppt, xls, xlsx, odt, pdf ... so don't suggest me | wc -w or grep because they work only with text or console output and they count only spaces and in japanese, chinese, arabic , hindu , hebrew they use diferent delimiter so the word count is wrong and i tried to count with this
pdftotext file.pdf -| wc -w
/usr/local/bin/docx2txt.pl < file.docx | wc -w
/usr/local/bin/pptx2txt.pl < file.pptx | wc -w
antiword file.doc -| wc -w
antiword file.word -| wc -w
in some cases microsoft word , openoffice sad 1000 words and the counters return 10 or 300 words if the language is ( japanese , chinese, hindu ect... ) , but if i use normal characters then i have no issue the biggest mistake is in some case 3 chars less witch is "OK"
i tried to convert with soffice , openoffice and then try WC -w but i can't even convert ,
soffice --headless --nofirststartwizard --accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100; --convert-to pdf some.pdf /var/www/domains/vocabridge.com/devel/temp_files/23/0/东京_1000_words_Docx.docx
OR
openoffice.org --headless --convert-to ........
OR
openoffice.org3 --invisible
so if someone know any way to count correctly or display document statistic with openoffice or anything else or linux with the console please share it
thanks.
If you have Microsoft Word (and Windows, obviously) you can write a VBA macro or if you want to run straight from the command line you can write a VBScript script with something like the following:
wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
doc = ... ' open up a Word document using wordApp
docWordCount = doc.Words.Count
' Rinse and repeat...
If you have OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice you have similar (but more) options. If you want to stay in the office app and run a macro you can probably do that. I don't know the StarBasic API well enough to tell you how but I can give you the alternative: creating a Python script to get the word count from the command line. Roughly speaking, you do the following:
Start up your copy of OOo/LibO from the command line with the appropriate parameters to accept incoming socket connections. http://www.openoffice.org/udk/python/python-bridge.html has instructions on how to do that. Go there and use the browser's in-page find feature to search for `accept=socket'
Write a Python script to use the OOo/LibO UNO bridge (basically equivalent to the VBScript example above) to open up your Word/ODT documents one at a time and get the word count from each. The above page should give you a good start to doing that.
You get the word count from a document model object's WordCount property: http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/GenericTextDocument.html#WordCount
Just building on to what #Yawar wrote. Here is is more explicit steps for how to word count with MS word from the console.
I also use the more accurate Range.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords) instead of the Words property. See here for more info: https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/291447/word-count-appears-inaccurate-when-you-use-the-vba-words-property
Make a script called wc.vbs and then put this in it:
Set word = CreateObject("Word.Application")
word.Visible = False
Set doc = word.Documents.Open("<replace with absolute path to your .docx/.pdf>")
docWordCount = doc.Range.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords)
word.Quit
Dim StdOut : Set StdOut = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetStandardStream(1)
WScript.Echo docWordCount & " words"
Open powershell in the directory you saved wc.vbs and run cscript .\wc.vbs and you'll get back the word count :)
I think this may do what you are aiming for

Hope this helps regards tom
EDIT : Then i found this
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22555
wc can understand Unicode and uses system's iswspace function to find whether the unicode character is whitespace. "The iswspace() function tests whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class space in the program's current locale." So, wc -w should be able to correctly count words if your locale (LC_CTYPE) is configured correctly.
The source code of the wc program
The manual page for the iswspace function
I found the answer create one service

# chkconfig: 345 99 01

# description: your script is a test service

ls pathwithfiles/in | while read file; do
libreoffice --headless -convert-to pdf "pathwithfiles/in/$file" --outdir pathwithfiles/out

done) &
then the php script that i needed counted everything
