varelov Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi, I am looking for a way to record a desktop GUI session, turn the recording into a script and repeat the recorded actions when needed. Can AutoIt do it? I am not asking for strict step by step instructions, though wouldn't mind if offered. I am new to AutoIt, just downloaded it, but not new to scripting.

careca Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hello, welcome to the forum! There is a function in SciTe to record clicks and such, have you downloaded that too? consider it, it's useful. Anyway, maybe you can tell us the application or what you're trying to do, sometimes there are better ways of doing something with autoit. Also, in the help file, you can get familiarized with the code. Spoiler Renamer - Rename files and folders, remove portions of text from the filename etc. GPO Tool - Export/Import Group policy settings. MirrorDir - Synchronize/Backup/Mirror Folders BeatsPlayer - Music player. Params Tool - Right click an exe to see it's parameters or execute them. String Trigger - Triggers pasting text or applications or internet links on specific strings. Inconspicuous - Hide files in plain sight, not fully encrypted. Regedit Control - Registry browsing history, quickly jump into any saved key. Time4Shutdown - Write the time for shutdown in minutes. Power Profiles Tool - Set a profile as active, delete, duplicate, export and import. Finished Task Shutdown - Shuts down pc when specified window/Wndl/process closes. NetworkSpeedShutdown - Shuts down pc if download speed goes under "X" Kb/s.

water Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Welcome to AutoIt and the forum! In SciTE open an AutoIt script an press Alt+F6. This will run Au3Recorder. Recording a GUI session only works if the GUI is always at the same screen location and the screen resolution doesn't change. And no user interaction is allowed while the script runs and the session is being replayed. As careca mentioned there are better - and more reliable - ways to automate an application. Check the Controlxx functions.

varelov Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thank you guys, glad to be here. I am trying to automate a login to a website, and from there develop further code that would post reports in a text format. This would further I think motivate me to use AutoIt for possible future solutions. To be sincere, I haven't tried linux side of possible solutions to this, but I am open to suggestions.
