Importing a Username/Password

[Penisaurus]

Hello, I'm still a complete beginner with AutoIt, so I'm not sure if this could be done using a simple command or not.

Lets say I have a very simple script, to log into a website. (I'm still unfamiliar with the Mouse commands, so I use a simple Tab/Enter combo.)

Here is my script:

$Username = ""
$Password = ""

ShellExecute("http://www.myspace.com")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Username) ; Username goes here
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Password) ; Password goes here
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit
; End Script

Now, my question is, if compiled and sent to someone, they probably wouldn't know how to edit/decompile it,

So how would you let them edit the settings?

Lets say from a file in the folder along with the compiled script named settings.txt:

Username=""
Password=""

How could you, in the script, make it import those specified settings?

This might be more work than it's worth, but it's something I've been questioning.

With Iniread. or maybe input boxes?

Inputbox

$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("User Name", 72, 145, 185, 21)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Password", 72, 120, 185, 21, $ES_PASSWORD)

$Username = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
$Password = GUICtrlRead($Input2)

ShellExecute("http://www.myspace.com")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Username) ; Username goes here
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Password) ; Password goes here
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit

IniRead

If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & "/SettingsIni.ini") Then
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "/SettingsIni.ini", "UserName/Password", "Username","")
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "/SettingsIni.ini", "UserName/Password", "Password","")
EndIf

$Username = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "/SettingsIni.ini", "UserName/Password", "Username","")
$Password = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "/SettingsIni.ini", "UserName/Password", "Password","")

ShellExecute("http://www.myspace.com")      

Sleep(5000)
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Username) ; Username goes here
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Password) ; Password goes here
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit

Ah, thank you!

The IniRead works great for me. :]

Still confused on the Input part, but the Ini works well.

[hot202]

with the inputboxes you need to make a gui its in the help file look for GuiCreate

You can even look up Ie.au3 you wont have to send tab to go to the password and username.

Ie functions would defiantly be better, also someone posted a Firefox UDF.
