This issue is that certain tasks require administrator privilege on Windows and it's much more friendly to check the current user's privileges and inform the user that he or she needs to elevate to admin than simply fall over. :) Sadly before Windows 7 most users are on their machine as admins by default (which is, truly, a large part of the reason that Windows was such a fruitful hunting ground for people who liked to spread trojans).

Thanks Doug--that's sort of what I was hoping for. Like you my issue
would be figuring out which API's to call.

25.10.2016, 23:13, "Doug Coleman" :You should be able to call the Windows APIs directly (if you can figure out which ones!) and avoid using a script to call a binary. That's true. I'm simply having fun with that little task. Parsing the output and such.If I needed to solve that problem in a proper way, I would not mess with the whoami.exe, I'd look for WinAPI functions.I'm not familiar with those, so can't really help here. I have an issue with the formulation of the task, though. Why do we need to know if a user is an admin? Do we strictly want to check the Administrators group membership, or do we want to test for some specific access privileges? For instance, Power Users used to have some pretty big rights in their day, without being full admins.There is also the issue with elevation, which gives a user some rights without making him/her an admin. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/581204/how-do-i-check-if-a-user-has-local-admin-privileges-in-win32http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8046097/how-to-check-if-a-process-has-the-administrative-rights/8196291#8196291https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/118626 ---=---Александр -- The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?

Oh--ok. So I could tack on a "0 >" (minus the quotes of course) at the end and that'd work out. In fact that's exactly what I want. :) Yes, you can automate data entry into a website with Selenium. They've got bindings for C#, Java, Python and a few other languages. I was hoping that maybe someone had started an FFI for Factor because I'm really digging what I see in Factor so far. :) -- Onorio On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 11:46 AM, Alexander Ilin wrote: > Hi! > > 24.10.2016, 18:27, "Onorio Catenacci" : > > Thanks for the suggestion Александр!

Re: [Factor-talk] Factor As Scripting Language
Hi! 24.10.2016, 18:27, "Onorio Catenacci" :Thanks for the suggestion Александр! Oddly enough when I enter thatstring into the Repl on Windows 7 I get 641. I tried breaking up thecommand sequence over two lines (breaking at the ";") and the resultis the same.The entire output of "whoami /groups" (taken as one string) is searched for the substring "Administrators".641 is the index of the start of that substring for you.For me it returns `f`, because I'm not an admin on my system.Basically, anything other than `f` is the "true" return value, as per Factor convention.The script returns the answer to the question: "Am I an admin?" It's not 100% bulletproof, I just came up with it in 5 minutes. YMMV. But it should work for typical English-language Windows.In case anyone else is unfamiliar with Selenium:http://docs.seleniumhq.org/ Selenium is basically a tool for drivinga browser in an automated fashion. I use Selenium to enable automatedregression testing of our web apps.I have a web app with horrid UI, which I'm forced to use at work for time reporting (Personec, for those who know).I'm looking for a way to customize it to allow more friendly, possibly even automated data entry.Could Selenium help me? ---=---Александр -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
Re: [Factor-talk] Factor As Scripting Language
Thanks for the suggestion Александр! Oddly enough when I enter that string into the Repl on Windows 7 I get 641. I tried breaking up the command sequence over two lines (breaking at the ";") and the result is the same. The version of the Repl is: Factor 0.98 x86.64 (1788, heads/master-e187d63d3c, Tue Oct 18 02:14:22 2016) [Microsoft Visual C++ 190023506] on windows In case anyone else is unfamiliar with Selenium: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/ Selenium is basically a tool for driving a browser in an automated fashion. I use Selenium to enable automated regression testing of our web apps.

Hi! 24.10.2016, 16:38, "Onorio Catenacci" :I want to be able to verify that the currently logged-in user hasadmin permissions. Any pointers to blog postings or vocabularies Imay want to look at? This will tell you if the current user is a member of the Administrators group: USING: io.launcher io.encodings.utf8 sequences ; "Administrators" "whoami /groups" utf8 [ contents ] with-process-reader start If result is `f`, then the word "Administrators" was not found in the output. If result is a number, then it was. I am also interested in driving automated tests against websites. Ididn't see anything but has anyone done any work on an FFI with theSelenium WebDrivers?Never heard of it. ---=---Александр -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
[Factor-talk] Factor As Scripting Language
Hi all, Apologies for the broad questions but so far my Google-Fu has been less than effective. I want to use Factor as a scripting language for Windows. I want to be able to verify that the currently logged-in user has admin permissions. Any pointers to blog postings or vocabularies I may want to look at? I am also interested in driving automated tests against websites. I didn't see anything but has anyone done any work on an FFI with the Selenium WebDrivers? -- Onorio Catenacci http://onor.io http://www.google.com/+OnorioCatenacci -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
