Left click and hold

[Guest Abernus]

Please help I am very new to all this. I am trying to write a small script that launches a page and blocks in some text. Launchine the page is not a problem, I can move the mouse to the start of the text but I don't know the command to keep the left mouse button down.

The text I need to copy is not in an editable box, so this is what I am looking to do. Move the mouse to position X, Y and hold the left mouse button down, then move the mouse to new X, Y and release the left mouse button. Then send the Ctrl + C command

Please can anyone provide an answer in simple terms. I have spent over an hour looking on here for an answer and at my whits end

; Left click drag from 0,200 to 600, 700
MouseClickDrag("left", 0, 200, 600, 700)

;ctrl + c
Send("^c")

Just change the coords for your needs
