Simple Script Help

[MaelstromOC]

So I've been using AutoIt for awhile now but I'm sure what I use it for can be sped up a good bit by a better written script.

This is the current (and rather mundane, but works!) script that I've been using.

expandcollapse popup

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

HotKeySet ( "{Esc}", "restart" )
HotKeySet ( "{ENTER}", "enter" ) 

Func restart()
    MouseClick ( "left", 1902, 1113, 25 )
    If @Compiled = 1 Then
        Run( FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))
    Else
        Run( FileGetShortName(@AutoItExe) & "DescriptionsOO.au3" & FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath))
    EndIf
    Exit
EndFunc

Func enter()
    Send ( "^{s}" )
    WinActivate ( "Opera" )
    Send ( "^{w}" )
    Winactivate ( "OpenOffice" )
    HotKeySet ( "{ENTER}" )
    Send ( "{ENTER}" )
    HotKeySet ( "{ENTER}", "enter" )
EndFunc
    
$i = 1
Do 
    Winactivate ( "OpenOffice" )
    MouseClick ( "left", 1211, 181, 1 )
    Send ( "^{c}" )
    WinActivate ( "Opera" )
    Send ( "^+{v}" )
    $i = $i + 1
Until $i = 2

Do 
    WinActivate ( "OpenOffice" )
    Send ( "{DOWN}" )
    Send ( "^{c}" )
    WinActivate ( "Opera" )
    Send ( "^{t}" )
    Send ( "^+{v}" )
    $i = $i + 1
Until $i = 26

WinActivate ( "Opera" )
Send ( "^+{F6 24}" )
Winactivate ( "OpenOffice" )
Send ( "{RIGHT}" )
Send ( "{UP 24}" )

Sleep ( 100000000 )

As you can see it's a very simple script, but I was wondering if there's a way that I can open this data a bit faster (i.e. it takes it around 6 or 7 seconds to open 25 links when I'm sure that can be increased substantially.) I figured gathering the data into an array and being able to take the first array data and open in a new window in Opera, then take the second data, repeat, etc.

I just don't understand how to actually do it

[notsure]

What's the purpose of the script, i mean... what does it do?

To open a tab in Opera, try this line:

ShellExecute("opera", "manadar.com")

I'm guessing you are opening many links that you have saved in an OpenOffice Calc sheet? Is there a particular reason you need to do it this way? If the links are the same every time, then please just use Opera to bookmark them once and afterwards open them all at the same time by clicking on "Open all folder items".

If you somehow obtain a Calc sheet with different URLs every time which you have to open, try Manadar's suggestion in combination with the Excel UDF (#include <Excel.au3>). You can open Excel without showing its window and quickly queue the ShellExecute commands.
