Checking For In Use

[NewsArchive]

what are you using to "hold" the .txt file? Are you sure that the file
is actually locked when open in your editor?

Hi Jeff,

It doesn't matter what I try to test. This also fails for me:

Set Variable %INUSE% to FUNCTION:Check In-use File
("%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\inv.exe")

The inv.exe application is running with a browse open.

I went through all the SB examples and found Detect Active Application
and tried this:

Set Variable %ACTIVEAPP% to FUNCTIONetect Active Application
("inv.exe") [File Name]

But that only works if the exe is running on THAT particular pc. A
client pc with the application open does not return true.

SB4 just did this and basically exited if files were in use.

But I cannot see the script in SB4 - there is a file menu option but
its greyed out. UGH

Hi Jeff,

Nevermind I have it all working now. I was trying to use the variables
BEFORE their values were set. Earlier I had it in the right place but
mistakes in code. By the time I got the code right - I was in the
wrong place LOL

Thanks for trying to help

Andy
