CrewXp Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Hey again. This is a diffuculy script for me, but I think I've got it planned out. Does anyone know how I could do this? I have a list of people in the following format (line by line): --Contents of names.txt-- Joe Smith Kelly Hallahan Bob Joe Zack Baker Shane Yolanza --End Contents of names.txt Theory: Is there any way for autoit to select a name on a line, copy it, then paste it? Then after waiting 2 minutes, it copies and pastes the second name. Until It's finished Concept: I want to open a document, then press CtrlF (the find box), then have autoit paste a name into it. Then the document searches and finds all the names. Each time it finds a name, It will press (Control, Shift, F8)[This indexes the name], then it will keep searching until the end (I dont think there's a way to press the key combo each time it finds a name, but maybe I can have autoit send the combo every twenty seconds (that should be enough time for the document to find the name), and it will press it 6 times, then go on to the next name. That way all the names in the list will be found an indexed. Purpose: To index the names in a txt file (Find the name, then press a combo to index) I know this may sound difficult, but I've overcome many struggles in the past (code wise), and I think I can do this. This is just more complicated and I need a little help. Heh.. Thx! Please respond asap!
