The window doesn't exist before you show it.
So, you have to set the transparency after you show the window.

use a function to define the array. In doing so, new values only need to be added to the list of parameter values the function is called with.

Edit: I'm not sure whats unclear given the usage example provided and the description of the argument structure of the function, so heres a desciption of the functionality of the function:

In your opening question, you manually define an array with the prefix n followed by numeric indexes one at a time:

ANSWER

All these actions are essentially the same steps with different data. Use a function.

A function is a label that is called with parameters to act upon.

After your input prompt, validate your input, then assess which path to pass to the function as the second parameter.

Call :InstallPrompt "Installee Descriptor" "Installees Filename.ext"

An example of all your labels reduced to a single function.

QUESTION

PowerShell - accessing script parameters, sent from Windows cmd shell

Asked 2021-May-23 at 02:58

Questions

How can you access the parameters sent to PowerShell script (.ps1 file)?
Can you access parameters A: by name, B: by position, C: a mix of either?

Context

I recently tried to write a PowerShell script (.ps1) that would be called from a Windows batch file (.bat) (or potentially cmd shell, or AutoHotKey script) - which would pass parameters into the .ps1 script for it to use (to display a toast notification). Thanks to the instructions on ss64.com, I have used $args to do this kind of thing in the past, however for some reason I could access the parameters this way (despite passing parameters, $args[0] = '' (empty string) and $args.Count = 0) so eventually had to remove all the $args code, and replace it with Param() script instead.

I'm still not quite sure why, but thought this is something I should get to the bottom of before I try to write my next script...

Code Example 1: Args (un-named parameters)

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-May-23 at 02:58

The automatic $args variable is only available in simple (non-advanced) functions / scripts. A script automatically becomes an advanced one by using the [CmdletBinding()] attribute and/or at least one per-parameter [Parameter()] attribute.
- Using $args allows a function/script to accept an open-ended number of positional arguments, usually instead of, but also in addition to using explicitly declared parameters.
- But it doesn't allow passing named arguments (arguments prefixed by a predeclared target parameter name, e.g., -Title)
For robustness, using an advanced (cmdlet-like) function or script is preferable; such functions / scripts:
- They require declaring parameters explicitly.
- They accept no arguments other than ones that bind to declared parameters.
  - However, you can define a single catch-all parameter that collects all positional arguments that don't bind to any of the other predeclared parameters, using [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments)].
Explicitly defined parameters are positional by default, in the order in which they are declared inside the param(...) block.
- You can turn off this default with [CmdletBinding(PositionalBinding=$false)],
- which then allows you to selectively enable positional binding, using the Position property of the individual [Parameter()] attributes.
When you call a PowerShell script via the PowerShell's CLI's -File parameter, the invocation syntax is fundamentally the same as when calling script from inside PowerShell; that is, you can pass named arguments and/or - if supported - positional arguments.
- Constraints:
  - The arguments are treated as literals.
  - Passing array arguments (,-separated elements) is not supported.
- If you do need your arguments to be interpreted as they would be from inside PowerShell, use the -Command / -c CLI parameter instead
- See this answer for guidance on when to use -File vs. `-Command.

QUESTION

Autohotkey check file checksum

Asked 2021-May-11 at 12:11

I need an AHK script which will check/compare an MD5 checksum value for a specified file.

Something like this:

'Does file "%userprofile%\appsettings\app.ini" have an MD5 checksum value A465564D654E56464025456F?

if YES Msgbox "not changed"
if NO filedelete, "%userprofile%\appsettings\app.ini"
- Then: filecopy, "%userprofile%\appsettings\app.kackup", "%userprofile%\appsettings\app.ini"

Exit script

I need this to be run manually - on demand, not a persistent script.

I prefer it to be an Autohotkey script, but if it is too complicated, powershell or batch script is fine too.

Thank you
