Problem with open txt file

[marshallprank]

Hi,

i have a tool (txt in xml converter) which contains a OpenFiel dialog Button. If a click on this Button, i should choose a txt.file on my PC, when i choosed it the OpenDialog will disappear and another OpenFile Dialog will appear to select another file. i would to do this steps with AutoIt.

It is not working properly. When the first OpenFile Dialog appear, i put the link of txt.file (C:\ABC\test.txt) with ClipPut(...) then i sent ENTER (Send("{Enter}")). After this Step the second OpenFile dialog does not appear. What is wrong?

manualy wihtout AutoIt it is working when i put C:\ABC\test.txt then i put ENTER with the keyboard the second OpenFile Dialog will appear.

thanks and Regards

and your code is???

[marshallprank]

This is my code:

$LogFileName = test.txt
$ScriptPath=C:ABC
$LogFilePath= $ScriptPath & $LogFileName ;C:ABCtest.txt
$temp = FileOpen("temp.txt", 1)
   FileWrite($temp, $LogFilePath)
$readLine=FileReadLine ("temp.txt", 1)
run($ReportingPath) ; to call my tool
WinWaitActive("ATS SystemTester","...",$Timeout) ; to open the first OpenFile Dialog
ControlClick("ATS SystemTester","...", "...") ; to open the first OpenFile Dialog
   ClipPut($readline)
  Send("^v")   ; this will put the path C:ABCtest.txt in the field

After the last step Send("^v"), the second OpenFile Dialog should appear. Also if i delete Send("^v") from my code and run the script, then i put manualy with the keyboard Enter, than works and the second OpenFile Dialog appears.

Please use the AutoIt tags when posting your code

From the code you posted it is hard to tell what the problem could be.

Apparently the code you are having the problem with is in the "$ReportingPath" (your tool) which we have no information on whatsoever.

[marshallprank]

my tool working. And run($ReportingPath) works. If i do the same steps but wihout Send("^v") and when script ends than i put manualy with the keyboard Enter, than works and the second OpenFile Dialog appears. See the Code:

$LogFileName = test.txt
$ScriptPath=C:ABC
$LogFilePath= $ScriptPath & $LogFileName ;C:ABCtest.txt
$temp = FileOpen("temp.txt", 1)
   FileWrite($temp, $LogFilePath)
$readLine=FileReadLine ("temp.txt", 1)
run($ReportingPath) ; to call my tool
WinWaitActive("ATS SystemTester","...",$Timeout) ; to open the first OpenFile Dialog
ControlClick("ATS SystemTester","...", "...") ; to open the first OpenFile Dialog
   ClipPut($readline)

If this is your actual code, you need quotes around the strings in the $ScriptPath and $LogFilePath variable assignments otherwise they're not going to work. Also, why do you use FileOpen and then read the line from the file using the relative file name? You might want to use some consolewrites to see if the variables contain what you think they contain as a check to see if you're reading the correct information from the file.

[marshallprank]

Here is the actual code:

$LogFilePath= $ScriptPath & $LogFileName ; this is on the Console: C:ABCtest.txt

ClipPut($LogFilePath)

run($ReportingPath)
  
WinWaitActive("xx","...",$Timeout)
ControlClick("xx","...", "...")

WinWaitActive("Select file","",$Timeout)
ControlClick("Select file","", "")

Send("^v")
Sleep(3000)
Send("{Enter}")

[BrewManNH]

That can't be your actual code, half of what you posted previously is missing. Including all the points I made about the quotes around your strings. So, where is your ACTUAL code.

Also, does your controlclick work at all the way you have it written? Because you're clicking on a blank controlID. If you don't post the actual code you're using I can't help and I'm out of here.

[marshallprank]

Here the code:

#include <file.au3>
#include <Process.au3>

$Timeout=IniRead(@ScriptDir & "Config.ini", "TimeOut", "Timeout","NotFound") ;
$ReportingPath=IniRead(@ScriptDir & "Config.ini", "ReportingPath", "ATSSystemTester","NotFound")
$ScriptPath=IniRead(@ScriptDir & "Config.ini", "ScriptPath", "Script","NotFound")
$LogFileName = "test.txt"
$LogFilePath= $ScriptPath & $LogFileName

ClipPut($LogFilePath)
run($ReportingPath)
  
WinWaitActive("ATS SystemTester","...",$Timeout)
ControlClick("ATS SystemTester","...", "...")
 
Send("^v")
Sleep(3000)
Send("{Enter}")
Sleep(2000)

till the step Send("{Enter}") works. After Send("{Enter}") the second OpenFile Dialog does'nt appear.

Here the code:

Where is the second OpenFile dialog activated? If the ControlClick activates the dialog box, you only have one in the script, so how is this box supposed to open, and what are you trying to put into it?

[marshallprank]

The second OpenFile dialog is specific to my tool , that you can add a referenc xml file. You have to put in the first OpenDialog File the txt file and in the second the xml file.

[marshallprank]

i tested now with sleep(20000) on the end of script and i have assertet that as long as the script run it is unable to open the second OpenFile Dialog. when the sleep time is expred ,i tried to put manualy the link, the second OpenFile Dialog is coming.

Is this issue familiar?

[Dana]

Not sure what the issue is with your program, but why are you using

ClipPut($LogFilePath) and Send("^v") instead of simply Send($LogFilePath & "{ENTER}")?

[marshallprank]

i tried also. The same problem is occured.

[BrewManNH]

I'd guess the problem lies in the parts of whatever script you're using that you're not posting. Obviously we're NEVER going to be able to help you because you refuse to post a reproducer script that demonstrates the problem. I've asked you to post the script you're using to accomplish what you want, and every time you post something it usually shows very little relation to what you posted before, and the parts of the script that aren't working aren't posted at all.

Do you really want help getting this fixed, or are you just jerking our chain to see how far you can take this? If you can't or won't post the parts of the script that don't work, and the parts of the script that do work, then you are on your own. Good luck, the ball is in your court for the last time as far as I'm concerned.

[marshallprank]

this is all my script. My tool (converter) is not possible to share it because of rights.

[Dana]

Are you saying that your tool program automatically pops up another file open dialog after entering the first filename followed by an enter? If so the problem is with the tool, not the autoit script.

Try putting EXIT on the line immediately after Send("{Enter}"). Or try making the script click on an OK button or whatever is there instead of sending an ENTER to the dialog... ENTER invokes the default action in a window but perhaps that's not what you want?

[marshallprank]

thank you very much. Now its working with EXIT after Send("{ENTER}")
