|
|
hey all, this is my first post on AutoHotKey forum.
anyways, i've got this script which pretty much goes to a specified page, reads a line of text from a .txt file and uses the sendinput to type it out quickly in the appropriate text box.
I had come across two problems.
1- it seemed as though after i used the sendinput command, the sleep command (waiting for the new page to load) wouldnt run (until i set the sleep to 10000)
and,
2- the big one - I'm sometimes getting the windows 'search for files and folders' window to popup
(http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/tips/67436-click-all-files-and-folders.gif) -this one.
i've looked into it and the only windows hotkeys i can find that would open that up is [windowskey]+f, but nowhere does my script say to hold down the windows key.
does anyone have any ideas for me?
(my first problem up there was sort of solved by me setting the sleep longer, and isn't really a big deal, just thought id mention it cause i was curious what i was doing wrong.) |

i lol at your pun
thing is though- it's a really simple script,
first it loads up a couple lines of the .txt file
| Code: | FileReadLine, Nameline, C:\DATABASE\Directory.txt, %lineNumb%
lineNumb:=lineNumb+1
FileReadLine, Linkline, C:\DATABASE\Directory.txt, %lineNumb%
lineNumb:=lineNumb+1
FileReadLine, Summaryline, C:\DATABASE\Directory.txt, %lineNumb%
lineNumb:=lineNumb+1 |
then after going to the page and clicking on the box to enter into it just spews out these variables...
| Code: | Send, Episode{SPACE}%Episode%{SPACE}-{SPACE}%Nameline%{SPACE}{TAB}
Sleep, 100
SendInput, [center][b]%Series%{SPACE}-{SPACE}Season{SPACE}%Season%{SPACE}-{SPACE}Episode{SPACE}%Episode%{SPACE}-{SPACE}%Nameline%[/b]{SHIFTDOWN}{ENTER}{SHIFTUP}
Sleep, 100
SendInput, {RIGHT}%Linkline%{END}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}[/center]{SHIFTDOWN}{ENTER}{ENTER}{SHIFTUP}
Sleep, 100
SendInput, %Summaryline%
Sleep, 100
Send, {TAB}{ENTER} |
what i have here is not so much a code problem as much as it is... i don't know, thats just the thing.
i used to have something like this script working fine without this error before i found the SendInput code, which just sped up my script like 200%.
i could always revert back to just the simple Send code and it'll all work, i was just wondering if someone else had issues with this (maybe the sendinput is spamming the keystrokes so fast it's screwing up...?)
likewise, if there was a code that would, in effect, just paste a stored string (rather than typing it out) that would work wonderfully. |
