set a variable and check it

[Berend Jan]

hi guys,

Im trying to select some text. then put it into a variable so i can check it and run the one or the other code. could you guys check it and say what i am doing wrong. I could be all wrong, im still a big n00b with this :">

This is what i got untill now:

MouseClick ("left", 33, 154, 2)
$Land = Send ("^c")
If $Land = "Verenigde " Then
    MouseClick ("left", 779, 240, 2)
    Send ("^c")
    Mouseclick ("left", 507, 429, 1)
    Send ("^v")
    Mouseclick ("left", 483, 484, 1)
    MouseClick ("left", 808, 481, 1)
ElseIf $Land = "Italie" Then
    SplashTextOn ("bla", "bla", 100, 100, 900, 100)
EndIf

quick glance:

Send("^c")

$Land = ClipGet()

[Berend Jan]

quick glance:

Send("^c")

$Land = ClipGet()

apparently he doesn't get the copy command right because he's showing what i already had under ctrl c. Is there a other way to put in the clipboard?

[Berend Jan]

does anybody have a suggestion to my problem?

try putting a sleep between the mouseclick and the ^c ...

[MHz]

$Land = Send ("^c")

Send() does not return a value, so this attempt will fail.

Or maybe not?

i already adapted that to $Land = ClipGet() and i'll try the sleep between the 2 lines.

[Berend Jan]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no this doesn't work either.

[Jos]

no this doesn't work either.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

can you specify how you are testing so we can try it out ?

[Berend Jan]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah sure. i let the mouse click on a certain word. the word that should be shown in the msgbox later on. but it still shows something else that i copy and pasted earlier.

sleep (2000)
MouseClick ("left", 33, 154, 2)
sleep (500)
Send ("^c")
$Land = ClipGet()

MsgBox(0, "Clipboard contains:", $Land)

Understand this part, but what (dutch/nederlandse) application are you using that you want to select something of ?

Its easiest to try it the same way as you are doing....

[Ejoc]

are you highlighting the word? If I click on ----> THIS once and hit CTRL-C nothing happens, but if I double-click it CTRL-C puts it in the clipboard.

*EDIT I see now that you are trying to double click, but is it working? Is the word highlighted? Can you copy words to the clipboard manually?

im trying to detect in which country i am in a small internet game. just trying out some stuff. so im just trying to copy that word onto the clipboard so i can put it in a variable to start doing the next action on that. im doing it in Mozilla Firefox.

i can also explain in dutch if you like.

sleep (2000)
MouseClick ("left", 733, 656, 2)
sleep (500)
Send ("^c")
$Land = ClipGet()

MsgBox(0, "Clipboard contains:", $Land)

Worked perfectly in Firefox for me

yes it's highlighted. and i can copy it manually as well.

why not for me. hmmzz... could it be anything on the website that's blocking it?

[Jos]

yes it's highlighted. and i can copy it manually as well.

So the Double click selects the text you want but the Send("^c") doesn't put it into the clipboard. even when you put an Sleep(1000) between the 2 statements?

[Ejoc]

Might want to look into using:

ControlClick()

ControlSend()

WinActivate()

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes that is correct. the send ("^c") doesnt put it into the clipboard.

[Jos]

yes that is correct. the send ("^c") doesnt put it into the clipboard.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It could be the game blocking it ?

what about Send("^{Insert}") ?
