I want to write a wow macro that has the character say one of 2 statements and I want to be able to choose which statement. I'm fine with either having a sequence (alternates between each message), having the game detect if the player has a buff or not, or having the game detect if a modifier key (such as alt, shift, ctrl) is being held. If I wanted to create a macro for a spell, I would just use
/cast [mod] spell1
/cast [nomod] spell2
but this does not work with a /s command (I've tried). I've tried diving into basic Lua code, but have not been able to make it work. Here's what I have tried using a Lua if then else command that tests to see if the player has a buff or not (I used "Travel Form" as a placeholder buff on my druid)
/run if (UnitAura("player", "Travel Form"))
then SendChatMessage("Statement1","say")
else SendChatMessage("Statement2","say")
end
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Here are two examples with using modifier keys. They are a bit condensed because I like my macros short.
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_IsModifierKeyDown
/run SendChatMessage(IsModifierKeyDown() and "Statement1" or "Statement2")
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_SecureCmdOptionParse
/run SendChatMessage(SecureCmdOptionParse("[mod] Statement1; Statement2"))
As for checking if you have e.g. a buff (by name), you need to iterate the indices for UnitAura() or use GetPlayerAuraBySpellID (less compact example)
/run if GetPlayerAuraBySpellID(783) then SendChatMessage("Statement1") else SendChatMessage("Statement2") end

I need to get the number of processor cores available on a computer programmatically from within MS Access. As an example, the computer I work from most frequently has one processor with 6 cores. I want to grab the number '6' through VBA.
Thus far, I have found two ways to find this information through CMD. (1) I can execute the line echo %NUMBER OF PROCESSORS% and the result is 6 (simple and clean, I like it). (2) I have also tried wmic cpu get numberorcores, but the result of that prompt is as follows:
NumberOfCores
6
I intend to pipe the output to and read from the clipboard. The reason I use the clipboard is to avoid creating, reading, and deleting little text files of data. Prompt (2) works, I can successfully pipe the output to the clipboard and read it into a variable in VBA, but it's messy and I would have to parse the result to get the information I need. I would much prefer using prompt (1), but it's not working and the problem seems to be echo. I have tried using shell() and CreateObject(WScript.Shell).Run without success. The strings I have used to try to execute the echo prompt are as follows:
str = "echo %NUMBER OF PROCESSORS% | clip"
str = "cmd ""echo %NUMBER OF PROCESSORS% | clip"""
So, is there a way to successfully send an echo prompt to CMD through VBA and get a result?
Alternatively, is there a different way in VBA to get the number of cores?
TIA!
Why not keep it simple like this:
Dim result As Variant
result = Environ("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")
Debug.Print "Number of processors is " & result
I have a number of hotkeys which go through various processes and sleep for certain periods of time to allow animations to be shown. I want to setup a variable to allow only 1 to activate at a time...so if I hit the first and then the second....the second doesn't do anything until the first completes. Similarly I don't want to double activate any of them by mashing the same key right after I first press it.
F4:ExitApp
#IfWinActive ahk_class notepad
a::
if (work:=true){
work:=false
soundbeep
;do something
sleep 1000
work:=true
}
return
b::
if (work:=true){
work:=false
soundbeep
;do something else
sleep 2000
work:=true
}
return
i.e. if I hit 'a'....'b' cannot activate until the sleep of 'a' ends. Nor should 'a' be able to activate a second time...at least not until its sleep ends and work=true again.
This leaves 2 problems. I need to first somehow specify the initial value of 'work=true'. I do not know how to do this in the traditional sense. Simply putting it at the top of the code doesn't work. Second problem, putting this in another key...like enter:: work:=true return....and pressing that key initially...this doesn't work as it allows b to beep while a is still in its sleep phase. So maybe the code above is flawed to begin with as well. Individual keys seem to respect themselves and not re-initialize until after the first instance has completed...so the beeps work if I just mash 1 key. Also I don't want to have to press enter to get the code to work after loading the script.
Is there an easy cheat here? Like in lua undeclared variables are automatically false... so I could just swap to if (work=false){...., I can't find any such behaviour with autohotkey though.
As requested, here is a different solution that uses variable logic to allow or prevent hotkey commands from executing:
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad
work:=true
a::
if(work){
work:=false
soundbeep
;do something
sleep 1000
work:=true
}
return
b::
if(work){
work:=false
soundbeep
;do something else
sleep 2000
work:=true
}
return
Update: Breakdown of how it works
First, the script begins in the auto-execute section. As summarized elegently by maul-esel
When an AutoHotkey script launches, it just starts execution from the
first line of your script. It continues from there line by line until
it hits an end point. This is called the auto-execute section.
As such, by including work:=true in this section of the script, not only are we initializing the value of the variable before any hotkeys are triggered, we set the scope of work to be a global variable, accessible across different hotkeys.
The rest of the script is a bit more straightforward, where each hotkey is essentially (in pseudocode):
When the hotkey is triggered
if work is true
set work to false
Beep and etc.
Wait for some amount of time
Then set work back to true so that another command can be run
End the hotkey
One simple way to do it would be to declare #MaxThreads 1 at the top of your script.
As a side note, there appear to be a few other syntax errors in the script. For example, when comparing values (like in an if statement), you still use the regular, single = and not the assignment :=. Also, the ahk_class is case sensitive, and as such #IfWinActive ahk_class notepad should be replaced with #IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad.
Updated Code (Work Variable logic was removed as it is no longer needed):
#MaxThreads 1
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad
a::
soundbeep
;do something
sleep 1000
return
b::
soundbeep
;do something else
sleep 2000
return
Hashcat doesn't support the target application I'm trying to crack, but I'm wondering whether the mask function can be 'fed' the list of passwords and parsed through the rockyou rule to generate an effective wordlist for me?
If so, how can this be done as the documentation leaves lots to be desired.. !
Many thanks
I used HashCatRulesEngine:
https://github.com/llamasoft/HashcatRulesEngine
You can chain all the HashCat rules together, it then union selects them, weeds out any duplicates and takes as input your sample password file.
It then generates all possible permutations.
For instance:
echo "password">foo

1 password the word "password" was permutated a total of:
bash-3.2# wc -l passwordsx
227235 passwordsx
bash-3.2#
Times meaning that each word you feed into this generates 227235 possible combinations roughly giving you full coverage..
You can use hashcat itself as a candidate generator by adding the --stdout switch (then pipe to your file or program of choice). I haven't tried all the possibilities, but it should work with any of the supported hashcat modes.
Here's an example using a ruleset: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rule_based_attack#debugging_rules
I have a brief snippet of code from a Fortran 95 program that should, in theory, spit out my results into some text files. It would be convenient, for readability if nothing else, for the data to be written in columns (so, one column for variable X, one for Y, etc.). In the first set of WRITE commands below (i.e., those associated with the first OPEN command), the idea is to have a text identifier for the user to read, followed by a numeric value. In the second write command, I just dump out four columns of data, each specific to a given variable.
open(unit=10,file='outs_sum.txt',status='replace')
do i=1,1
write(10,'(a12,f5.4)') 'Min. sigma: ',sigma_low
end do
do i=1,1
write(10,'(a12,f5.4)') 'Max. sigma: ',sigma_high
end do
write(10,'(a11,f5.4)') 'Sigma inc: ',0.005
write(10,*) '# of sigmas: ',ii
write(10,'(a9,f5.1)') 'Min. DL: ',dl_low
write(10,'(a9,f5.1)') 'Max. DL: ',dl_high
write(10,*) 'DL inc: ',1
write(10,*) '# of DLs: ',i
write(10,*) 'Total rows: ',(i*ii)
close(unit=10)
open(unit=10,file='outs.txt',status='replace')
do i=1,dls
do ii=1,sigmas
write(10,*) gtow_out(i,ii),ctsig_out(i,ii),sigout(i,ii),dlout(i,ii)
end do
end do
close(unit=10)
However, what happens on the output side is this: the latter WRITE does exactly what I'd expect and spits out the data in column form...but the former insists on writing everything to the same row. At least when I open things in Notepad. If I use GVIM, it looks as it should.
Why does the first set of WRITE commands write to the same row, and how can I force it to insert a line break after each command instead? Alternatively, is Notepad just showing me something that isn't really there?
I have a problem with ksh in that a while loop is failing to obey the "while" condition. I should add now that this is ksh88 on my client's Solaris box. (That's a separate problem that can't be addressed in this forum. ;) I have seen Lance's question and some similar but none that I have found seem to address this. (Disclaimer: NO I haven't looked at every ksh question in this forum)
Here's a very cut down piece of code that replicates the problem:
1 #!/usr/bin/ksh
2 #
3 go=1
4 set -x
5 tail -0f loop-test.txt | while [[ $go -eq 1 ]]
6 do
7 read lbuff
8 set $lbuff
9 nwords=$#
10 printf "Line has %d words <%s>\n" $nwords "${lbuff}"
11 if [[ "${lbuff}" = "0" ]]
12 then
13 printf "Line consists of %s; time to absquatulate\n" $lbuff
14 go=0 # Violate the WHILE condition to get out of loop
15 fi
16 done
17 printf "\nLooks like I've fallen out of the loop\n"
18 exit 0
The way I test this is:
Run loop-test.sh in background mode
In a different window I run commands like "echo some nonsense >>loop_test.txt" (w/o the quotes, of course)
When I wish to exit, I type "echo 0 >>loop-test.txt"
What happens? It indeed sets go=0 and displays the line:
Line consists of 0; time to absquatulate
but does not exit the loop. To break out I append one more line to the txt file. The loop does NOT process that line and just falls out of the loop, issuing that "fallen out" message before exiting.
What's going on with this? I don't want to use "break" because in the actual script, the loop is monitoring the log of a database engine and the flag is set when it sees messages that the engine is shutting down. The actual script must still process those final lines before exiting.
Open to ideas, anyone?
Thanks much!

OK, that flopped pretty quick. After reading a few other posts, I found an answer given by dogbane that sidesteps my entire pipe-to-while scheme. His is the second answer to a question (from 2013) where I see neeraj is using the same scheme I'm using.
What was wrong? The pipe-to-while has always worked for input that will end, like a file or a command with a distinct end to its output. However, from a tail command, there is no distinct EOF. Hence, the while-in-a-subshell doesn't know when to terminate.
Dogbane's solution: Don't use a pipe. Applying his logic to my situation, the basic loop is:
while read line
do
# put loop body here
done < <(tail -0f ${logfile})
No subshell, no problem.
Caveat about that syntax: There must be a space between the two < operators; otherwise it looks like a HEREIS document with bad syntax.
Er, one more catch: The syntax did not work in ksh, not even in the mksh (under cygwin) which emulates ksh93. But it did work in bash. So my boss is gonna have a good laugh at me, 'cause he knows I dislike bash.
So thanks MUCH, dogbane.

After articulating the problem and sleeping on it, the reason for the described behavior came to me: After setting go=0, the control flow of the loop still depends on another line of data coming in from STDIN via that pipe.
And now that I have realized the cause of the weirdness, I can speculate on an alternative way of reading from the stream. For the moment I am thinking of the following solution:
Open the input file as STDIN (Need to research the exec syntax for that)
When the condition occurs, close STDIN (Again, need to research the syntax for that)
It should then be safe to use the more intuitive:while read lbuffat the top of the loop.
I'll test this out today and post the result. I'd hope someone else benefit from the method (if it works).
