 Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2013 5:15 pm Post subject: getProcessIDFromProcessName - How to call |
 |
|
Hi,
I decided to try something new and create a process listbox 
I found many examples but I would like an explanation why my approach does not work.
| Code: |
processList = createStringlist()
processList=getProcesslist()
for i = 0, strings_getCount(processList) - 1 do
process = strings_getString(processList, i)
pid = getProcessIDFromProcessName(process) <--wrong call????
strings_add(items,process.."-"..pid)
end |
I get the error attempt to concatenate global 'pid' (a nil value)
So I understand the the getProcessIDFromProccessName didn't work???
Thanks in advance
Edit: One guess would be that the getProcessIDFromProcessName does not return string or number therefore the concatenation fails?

You don't need to call createStringList, getProcesslist creates it for you
The problem is that the processlist is build up as pid-processname
So, first strip the processid from the list , or just use that

I see, reading the description thought that only returns the process name, and you have to find the PID from the getProcessIDFromProcessName
but now I figured out that it would be ambiguous to do that, since there might be the same process name a lot of times.
Thanks again
(I think not for the last time:D)
