Script Doesn't Seem To Do What I Want It To

[Jasio]

I'm having a problem with the tabs, there is 35, and even though they work the first time, they seem to cut short around 32/33 on the second.. any ideas would be appreciated

AutoItSetOption ( "SendKeyDelay", 40 )

WinActivate("(SFGC) Galactic Conquest - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")

Sleep("3000")

Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}

{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

Sleep("1000")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinActivate("(SFGC) Galactic Conquest - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")

Sleep("3000")

Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}

{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

You might like to try it this way:

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 40)
WinActivate("(SFGC) Galactic Conquest - Microsoft Internet Explorer")

Sleep(3000)
Send("{TAB 35}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep("3000")
Send("{TAB 35}")

Does this work any better for you?

think i would try Send("{TAB 35}") and see how that goes 1st

Edit: lxp beat me to it.

LxP's script is correct, but i have found i need to slow the send(TAB) down a little like this

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 40)
WinActivate("(SFGC) Galactic Conquest - Microsoft Internet Explorer")

Sleep(3000)

For $x = 1 to 35
    Send("{TAB}")
    Sleep(100)
Next
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep("3000")
For $x = 1 to 35
    Send("{TAB}")
    Sleep(100)
Next

8)

That's an idea worth considering. Another way to achieve this would involve increasing the SendKeyDelay:

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 150)
WinActivate("(SFGC) Galactic Conquest - Microsoft Internet Explorer")

Sleep(3000)
Send("{TAB 35}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep("3000")
Send("{TAB 35}")
