 Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:39 am Post subject: Noob help on using txt files to fill in names |
 |
|
I have a text file with names in descending chronological order, such as:
001
002
ect... up tp 100
I want to open up my program, change the name to the first text file name 001, and save as 001, then close. Then do it again using 002, ect until all the names on the text file have been saved. What code would you recommend doing this? Any help would greatly be appreciated. thank you. |

You don't need a text file for this part. You could simply create a variable with an ascending name like this:
| Code: | fileExt = .txt ; Change the extension to the desired one.
varName := 1001
Loop, 100
{
tooltip % "FileName: " currentFile := SubStr(varName++,2,3) fileExt
; currentFile is the variable that holds the file number.
sleep, 80
} |

It would be a good idea to do the 'fill in the save dialog with the variable part' separately then add it to the loop process. Something like this:
| Code: | fileExt = .txt ; Change the extension to the desired extension.
varName := 1001
Loop, 100
{
Send, {CTRLDOWN}s{CTRLUP} ; Or command to open the save dialog.
WinWait, Save As,
IfWinNotActive, Save As, , WinActivate, Save As,
WinWaitActive, Save As,
currentFile := SubStr(varName++,2,3) fileExt
ControlSetText, Edit1, % currentFile, ahk_class #32770
ControlGetText, controlText, Edit1, % currentFile, ahk_class #32770
if !(controlText)
ControlClick, Button2, ahk_class #32770
WinWaitClose
sleep, 80
} |
If you need more help with this, please let us know what application your trying to save from.
