Beginner - Multi task and looping flow


Recommended Posts

Hello guys.

This is my first post and my first time trying AutoIt.

Since I am not a programmer, I got some problems with my codes. I read tutorials and tried hard, but my last resort was come here and try to find some help.

Here are my questions:

1) I need to know how can I run tests simultaneous until one is true. In my case, I need to get something and store in a variable. And what I want is run a search, if it is not successful, run another research with another parameters. I tried something like:

If $Action > 0 Then
  $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
  If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
   $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
   If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
    $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
     If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
      $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
      Else

2) In the code above, what I need to do to my script stops the searches go to next step when it stores the info successfully?

For beginning, is that that I need to know!

Thanks!

As far as I can see your code is fine. It only does another search if the previous search was not successfull.

You just need to add some EndIf

If $Action > 0 Then
    $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
    If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
        $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
        If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
            $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
            If Not IsArray($StoreColor) Then
                $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf

If PixelSearch couldn't find the specified color it sets@error. So you could write as well:

If $Action > 0 Then
    $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
    If @error Then
        $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
        If @error Then
            $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
            If @error Then
                $StoreColor = PixelSearch("stuff")
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf

Thank you very much for your help!

Now I am a bit confused with some other things here.

AutoIt uses C++ language, right?

I think I will learn a bit more before start scripting. Any indication of book or material?

Autoit is programmed in C++, so C++ is obviously the superior language. However, Autoit is about 1000 times easier to learn and is also quicker to script.

I don't know many books on Autoit, but the help file is really useful, it's how I learned Autoit. And if you've tried everything and it doesn't work, then post your problem on the forums.

Hope this clears a few things up. :oops:

Another good source is the Wiki (just look at the top of this page).

Gere11,

Never be afraid to post here asking for help if you have tried some "advanced" code and it has not worked - that is what the forum is for! :oops:

Just post the code as you did above - although you might want to use [autoit] and [/autoit] tags to get the code coloured and easier to read. :bye:
