auto saving screen capture


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am trying to capture this document, I can browse through the pages on the document with left and right arrow keys on my keyboard. Since I can not rip it directly, I want to to screen capture it and then save it. However it is around 900 pages! So doing it manually would be very cumbersome.

The end result I want is to load up the script takes a picture of the site, automatically saves it and the press right on the keyboard, screen capture again, automatically save it.....rinse and repeat and after 900 times the "right key" has been pressed it would stop.

I stole a script from a site and tried editing however I am still a novice on autoit, can someone modify my script to point me to the right direction? TIA!

HotKeySet ( "{F10}", "DID_CLICK" )
HotKeySet ( "{F11}", "CLOSE" )
TraySetToolTip("Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot")
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
$JPEG_ITEM = TrayCreateItem("JPEG")
TrayCreateItem("")
$EXIT_ITEM = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

MsgBox( 0, "Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot", "Welcome to Mr.Numbers quick screen shot tool! Using this tool, you can take quick screenshots!")
MsgBox( 0, "Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot", "Please tell me where to save your files!")
$WINDOWSPATH = FileSelectFolder ( "Choose A Folder", "" , 1 )
If $WINDOWSPATH = "" Then
Exit 0
Endif
MsgBox( 0, "Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot", "Press OK to start your screen capturing! Simply press F10! (Your clipboard will be erased)")
MsgBox( 0, "Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot", "Edit the DATA.INI File to change the desired file format")
MsgBox( 0, "Mr.Numbers Quick Screen Shot", "Press F11 to close this program")
$NUMBER = IniRead( $WINDOWSPATH & "" & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", "x")

Looks like the only editing you did was, replacing this...

68.

Elseif $FILETYPE = "PNG" Then

69.Send("{TAB}")

70.Send("p")

71.Send("{ENTER}")

72.Elseif $FILETYPE = "BMP" Then

73.Send("{TAB}")

74.Send("{DOWN}")

75.Send("{UP}")

76.Send("{ENTER}")

77.Send("{ENTER}")

78.Endif

with this....

Send("{Right}")

You will notice you forgot to replace the EndIf.

Anyway, you should replace the code in the function from

Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")

to

Send("{Enter}")

With _ScreenCaptureCapture function <- helpfile

and loop it 900 times.

Okay I re modified the code and I now have:

Do
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "GDIPlus_Image1.jpg")
Sleep(25000)
Send("{Right}")
$p = $p + 1
Until $p = 900

INIWrite( $WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", $NUMBER + 1)
EndFunc
Func CLOSE()
Exit 0
EndFunc

Yet it still is not working.

Try this

Func DID_CLICK()
    $NUMBER = IniRead($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", "x")
    $FILETYPE = IniRead($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "FILETYPE", "JPEG")
    Local $p = 1

    Do
        _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "GDIPlus_Image" & $p & ".jpg")
        Sleep(25000)
        Send("{Right}")
        $p += 1
    Until $p = 900

    IniWrite($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", $NUMBER + 1)
EndFunc   ;==>DID_CLICK

EDIT:

Also be sure to add #include at top of code

Hi, I just want to clarify the "#include" part

Try this

Func DID_CLICK()
    $NUMBER = IniRead($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", "x")
    $FILETYPE = IniRead($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "FILETYPE", "JPEG")
    Local $p = 1

        Send("{Right}")
        $p += 1
    Until $p = 900

    IniWrite($WINDOWSPATH & "DATA.INI", "INI", "NUMBER", $NUMBER + 1)
EndFunc ;==>DID_CLICK

I want to thank you for all the help you have given to me, I made the new script and it does not give me error opening it however it does not saves the picture :( mind looking over it again?

Yes I am, is it possible I need to edit data.ini before hand? It closes just fine but does not save the picture :/
