I am happy to see that the latest version of AutoIt3 can already be searched, downloaded and installed in the Windows 10+built-in package manager (Winget). Therefore, we can automatically install AutoIt3 itself by writing Powershell scripts, which helps to quickly deploy the working environment of AutoIt3 on new machines. Now, although AutoIt3 can be found and installed in Winget, its dedicated editor, SciTE4AutoIt, does not support this. I submitted a package request for SciTE4AutoIt to the Winget development team on GitHub and provided a download link. Then its developer replied to me: In other words, Winget developers believe that our website prevents Winget from directly downloading the .exe file of SciTE4AutoIt. In fact, I don't know much about the technical details he said, but I think we can make some changes to make SciTE4AutoIt more accessible.

I have an AutoIT script It monitors 2 websites for content that applys to me and the services that I provide. One site is : www.Freelancer.com The other: www.PeoplePerHour.com Both sites publish new jobs on their site hourly or so. My AutoIT app, will view those sites and present new jobs to me in a grid that pops up on my screen. Lately, the app has stopped showing me any jobs from PeoplePerHour. For freelancer.com, Inetget is giving full html but for peopleperhour, now its not coming.

Hello All, I am new to auto It and coding. Have only tried few automated logging for different websites. The login pages of the websites which I have worked on were having form name with input type as text and it seems straight forward to automate their login using "_IEFormElementSetValue". I have got a url, it does not have any form in the source page. On further analyzing I found that It does call some login page separately as below. function showLogin(arg) { Global.pollingDialogDoc = null; var fresh = jQuery.isValidString(arg) && "fresh" == arg ? !0 : !1, appFrame = $("#appFrame"); if ($("#modalFrame").show(), $("iframe").hide(), fresh || !appFrame.attr('src').match("html/login.html")) appFrame.attr('src', baseURL + 'html/login.html'), appFrame.on('load', function() { setTimeout(function() { $("#modalFrame").hide(), appFrame.show(); }, 1); }); else try { window.frames.appFrame.updatePageFromIndex(); } catch (e) {} } I can simply use "send" and "mouse click" Method to automate the login but that doesn't seems very reliable. Is there any separate way to fill the user ID and password to the respective fields by having reference by frames or something. Appreciate if any one can point me to correct document or help in any way...!

Hay guys Just had an idea and wanted to know where to start. I want to download a screenshot of a website automatically into a .png .jpg ect format so I can then set it as my desktop background. This might be for for news: When the latest news is added to a website a screenshot of that website is saved and added to my desktop background. I have tried using website that already do the screenshot but you have to open the website and click the button for it to generate one and thus InetGet does not help. Any Ideas?

Its Possible To auto Login with autoit script ?

I saw few UDFs related to IE and Firefox to automate tasks related to these browsers. But is it possible to automate tasks like drag and drop in the website.? Like in the below video. If not can you tell me some alternatives, as it is not possible in selenium as I heard. drag_and_drop.mp4

Hello, I need to pull data from company intranet website. I created a script that I can give a list of project numbers and it will open up the the related webpage for each project, save the html comments for that project, then move on to the next. However my problem comes in that each time I open up a project it locks it for other users, and if you just exit the page it keeps it locked, you have to actually press the "close" button on the page. So I'm not sure how to deal with this as I end up just locking every project in my name when I run my program as I don't understand the nature of how the website is built. I don't understand how to close with just using my automation code without manually having to press the stupid button. My Function: Func Getscript($ProjectAddress) ;getting the page source code and storing it into text file for easy reading it $file = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\source.txt", 10) $IE = _IECreate($ProjectAddress & ".html", 0, 0) $source = _IEDocReadHTML($IE) FileWrite($file, $source) $target_source = _StringBetween($source, "<BODY>", "</BODY>") ; only take content between the specified tags _IEQuit($IE) FileClose($file) return $target_source[0] EndFunc ;==>Getscript Source Code I got from website that I think is relevant: function closeForm(){ if(topButtonEnabled("closeButton")){ parent.mainFrame.closeForm(); } } <button id="closeButton" class="saveCloseButton" style="LEFT: 77px;" onclick=closeForm()>&nbsp;Close&nbsp;</button> Any Ideas of how to tell website to either activate the closeform function or just give it the command to close? Thanks

Good evening guys, i'm having a problem, not about the code (i'm only thinking about it at the moment) but about the way i can do it. I have a webpage (photo N.1) it has some elements in it. I need only the table (photo N.2), looking at the code and with _IEFunctions i can easy find the table but how i can i "copy" it? As i said it's really easy to found with a script but what should i do then? Copy the source? And how can i display it to the user? In my head i'd like to display it inside a GUI, is that possible? Thanks in advance Edit: Posted 2 times same photo. Now should be OK

hi everyOne how can control Flash elements (Button , Text , ..) or make autologin to website ? thanks and Sorry For My Basic English

Internet Shortcut Sanitizer With the newest Firefox and IE browsers, there's a bit of an issue with Internet Shortcuts created, which have been traditionally saved in a .URL file on Windows (an INI-structured file). Firefox now adds Icon information to the file which points it at a location within %localappdata%MozillaProfiles. This to me is annoying and unnecessary. While it may reflect the favicon of a website, its got a few problems: When the cache is cleared or the bookmark is moved to another computer or put on a fresh install, that icon isn't there anymore. These shortcuts contain your logon name (part of %localappdata%), so be aware of this if you are going to share them! (or just use a generic logon) Here's the content of a typical Firefox .URL file (<LogonName> is your Windows logon): [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ IDList= HotKey=0 IconFile=C:\Users\<LogonName>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\a3n21a.default\shortcutCache\md34sdyu7s_g==.ico IconIndex=0 _ Update: if you have Firefox 21, you can follow and edit Firefox's about:config settings to fix the way URL shortcuts are created. Internet Explorer (IE 9+) now has its own new shortcut extension (.website), which seems to only work with the IE browser. These files are basically 'enhanced' internet shortcuts. The extra information included is cryptic, and appears to be of no use outside of IE. However, the INI-format is the same, and the [internetShortcut] section is the same, so it can simply be renamed to have a .URL extension. Here's the content of a typical Internet Explorer 9+ .website file: [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}] Prop4=31,Google Prop3=19,2 [{A7AF692E-098D-4C08-A225-D433CA835ED0}] Prop5=3,0 Prop9=19,0 [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ IDList= IconFile=http://www.google.com/favicon.ico IconIndex=1 [{9F4C2855-9F79-4B39-A8D0-E1D42DE1D5F3}] Prop12=19,2 Prop5=8,Microsoft.Website.9CB8E698.8730F9E8 _ (Note the embedded [internetShortcut] section) Sanitize your shortcuts! The fix for these problems? A little Internet Shortcut Sanitizer program. If you're like me and just want Internet Shortcuts to be just that - a simple file with a URL in it, then this program will give you what you need. It strips everything out but the 2 lines necessary to work as a .URL file: [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.website.com _ The script will also create .URL's from .website files and remove all the IE related stuff. Currently it either takes 1 parameter or allows you to select 1 file to change. However, it can be adapted to work on multiple files with a little extra effort. However, I'd recommend something like grepWin to clear out folders (see 3rd post), and maybe a batch file renamer to deal with .website -> .URL conversion. Below is the script. Changelog: 2013-05-17: - Packaged the main functionality of the script into the embedded UDF: _InternetShortcutSanitize() ; ================================================================================================================== ; <InternetShortcutSanitizer.au3> ; ; 'Sanitizes' Internet shortcuts, both of the traditional Windows .URL format and of the newer IE .website format ; In the case of the latter, it will delete the .website variant and create a URL version ; ; Author: Ascend4nt ; ================================================================================================================== Local $sFile If $CmdLine[0] < 1 Then $sFile=FileOpenDialog("Select Internet Shortcut to Sanitize","","Internet Shortcut Files (*.URL;*.website)|All Files (*.*)",3) If @error Or $sFile="" Then Exit Else $sFile = $CmdLine[1] EndIf $sFile = StringStripWS($sFile,3) If Not FileExists($sFile) Then Exit ;~ ConsoleWrite("Internet Shortcut file to sanitize = "&$sFile&@CRLF) _InternetShortcutSanitize($sFile) ; =================================================================================================== ; Func _InternetShortcutSanitize($sFile) ; ; 'Sanitizes' the Internet shortcut file passed.

Is it possible to use a different IP proxy before manipulating a web application or a web browser? If it is, then how can I achieve that? If not, then what is the alternative just to use a different IP proxy before web application manipulation? Thanks in advanced..

I want to extract the html code from more links so I use this function : _IEDocReadHTML . But the problem is that it requires an object as parameter : "Object variable of an InternetExplorer.Application, Window or Frame object" , instead of requiring the address of the link . What function can I use that returns this kind of variable without running or loading the link ?( because I need to do this for many links so I can't wait for all of them to load )

How can I take the title of a link, just like the browsers does ? For example , as you know, all the tabs from the browser, have a name, based on what link is opened in them. So how can I take that name of a link with AutoIT and without the help of the browser ?

I'm working on a little monitoring script for my website, but I need to test the save function a few times as it has been tending to glitch out a little. I was thinking about AutoIt triggering "save()" every so often so I could meanwhile continue coding on other parts of the website. Of course, I could just move the mouse pointer and then do "mouseClick(left)", but as I would like this to work on my laptop too instead of modifying it, it'd be nice if AutoIt could trigger "save()" which is an onClick event. I'm not sure at all how I'd do this though :L

Ok, I don't know if this is even possible but some help would be greatly appreciated. I've been googling like crazy and trying different things but i'm just not getting anywhere. I'm trying to control an arduino from an Autoit script ... over the web. I have a script that is working and i have serial communication figured out. currently the script is simple and turns a couple of relays on and off. what i'd like now is to do this from a webpage. ideally a gui interface like the one i have now would be great but i've also tried using cgi to launch a script that turns on a relay (so two links one to run a script to turn on and one to turn off) but after the script runs i get an error page. I'd like to set it up where if i can't have the gui then i can click the link run the script but stay on the same page. I hope all of this is making sense. Here is a copy of the gui script that is working: #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n #AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** ;Include the Serial UDF #include 'CommMG.au3' #include #include #include #include #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 301, 221, 192, 124) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Circuit 2", 32, 88, 42, 17) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Circuit 1", 32, 32, 42, 17) $Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ON", 32, 56, 33, 17) $Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("OFF", 72, 56, 41, 17) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED) $Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ON", 32, 112, 33, 17) $Checkbox4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("OFF", 72, 112, 41, 17) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### ;Internal for the Serial UDF Global $sportSetError = '' ;COM Vars Global $CMPort = 4 ; Port Global $CmBoBaud = 9600 ; Baud Global $CmboDataBits = 8 ; Data Bits Global $CmBoParity = "none" ; Parity Global $CmBoStop = 1 ; Stop Global $setflow = 2 ; Flow ;Start up communication with the Arduino _CommSetPort($CMPort, $sportSetError, $CmBoBaud, $CmboDataBits, $CmBoParity, $CmBoStop, $setflow) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _commsendstring("10" & @CR) _commsendstring("20" & @cr) Exit Case $Checkbox1 guictrlsetstate($Checkbox1, $GUI_CHECKED) GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox2, $gui_unchecked) _CommSendstring("11" & @CR) Case $Checkbox2 GUICtrlSetState($checkbox2, $GUI_CHECKED) GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox1, $gui_unchecked) _CommSendString("10" & @CR) Case $Checkbox3 guictrlsetstate($Checkbox3, $GUI_CHECKED) GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox4, $gui_unchecked) _CommsendString("21" & @cr) Case $Checkbox4 guictrlsetstate($Checkbox4, $GUI_CHECKED) GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox3, $gui_unchecked) _commsendstring("20" & @cr) EndSwitch WEnd Thank you in advance
