Script help?

Hello,

I'm [completely] new to AutoIT and was just exploring the options, and was trying out making a basic code to do pointless things. However, I can't seem to make it work.

Dim $ExitKey, $coor, $loopControl

WinActivate("Untitled")

$ExitKey = "{ESC}"

HotKeySet($ExitKey, '_Exit')

While 1

WinWaitActive("Untitled")

Send("TAB")

$coor = PixelSearch(0, 100, 200, 0, 0xFFFFFF, 0, 20 )

While @error = 0

Send("Untitled")

Sleep(1000)

$coor = PixelSearch(0, 100, 200, 0, 0xFFFFFF, 0, 20 )

Wend

$loopControl = 0

While $loopControl < 5

Send("^{S}")

$loopControl = $loopControl + 1

Sleep(1000)

WEnd

Sleep(1000)

WEnd

Func _Exit()

Exit

EndFunc

This script was supposed to (with ESC as a hotkey, the code for which I ripped off of the forums with love), switch to an untitled notepad window (assuming it was already open) and send tab signals (meaning the lots of spaces), type "Untitled" into it if there was white found in the rectangle provided, and press save 6 times, though for no apparent reason. However, it seems that it doesn't send the save signal and also types out "TAB" instead of actually tabbing.

tl;dr I'm trying to make it simulate actually typing in what's provided through the keyboard instead of (more like) copy and pasting it.

Help please? And thank you for your time.

CantCode,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :x

A few problems with that script - take a peek at this modified versions (look for the <<<<<<<< lines): :shifty:

Global $ExitKey, $coor, $loopControl ; Use Global/Local rather than Dim <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

WinActivate("Untitled")

$ExitKey = "{ESC}"
HotKeySet($ExitKey, '_Exit')

$loopControl = 0 ; Set variable to 0 here <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

While 1
    
    WinWaitActive("Untitled")
    
    Send("{TAB}") ; correct syntax for Send command with special keys <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    While @error = 0
        Send("Untitled")
        Sleep(1000)
        $coor = PixelSearch(0, 100, 200, 0, 0xFFFFFF, 0, 20)
    WEnd

    While $loopControl < 5

        Send("^s") ; correct syntax for Send command with normal keys <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        While WinActive("Save As") ; Wait while Save dialog is active <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
            Sleep(10)
        WEnd
        $loopControl = $loopControl + 1 ; Increase the loop count <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    
    $loopControl = 0 ; Reset the loop counter <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

Please ask if you have any questions. :P

P.S. When you post code please use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here). :nuke:
