Data Driven / Automate using Excel

[koushik6685]

Hi All,

I'm new to AutoIt scripting. I've posted my sample code below for simple save. Now i want to automate using excel. I have marked the place as bold to where to occur. Kindly let me know how i can proceed.

Run("C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Apps\4.0\45P9YT.LOP\PXD38HAG.NEBApp...UYN_cf5bed669b633588_0002.0000_7768b931aa8711fa\AppI")

WinWaitActive("Login")

Send("John")

ControlClick("Login","","&Login")

WinWaitActive("App")

send("{RALT}")

Send("{DOWN}")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("App - [input]")

MouseClick("left", 237, 132, 1)

WinWaitActive("App - [input]")

Send("2024") /******** This is the place where i'm sending data. Now I want to include an excel file & from there i need to read & fetch data to the field, so that, there will be an iteration / Data Driven can be made. Kindly make suggestion of how it will be possible to do that? ********/

ControlClick("App - [input]","","Save")

Try:

_ExcelBookOpen

_ExcelReadSheetToArray

_ExcelBookClose

Your example script looks a bit cryptic. Could you please explain which program you try to automate?

It is a windows Application, trying to automate windows forms. Need to send values from Excel to form fields, selec values from lisbox etc. ...

The approach with Send and Mouseclick might not work properly depending on what the user does while the script is running.

I would suggest to send data to controls and click on buttons to use Control* functions.
