BenitoB Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Good Day. I have programmed in Autoit a long long time ago and now I would like to pick it up again but now I am pressed to create a script that will capture the answers form a GUI with multiple input boxes in the one GUI and then create an answer file in a specific format. ex: All in the same GUI Incumbent 1 Incumbent 2 1: (answer 1) Points: 1: (answer 1) Points: 2. (answer 2) Points: 2. (answer 2) Points: 3: (answer 3) Points: 3: (answer 3) Points: 4: (answer 4) Points: 4: (answer 4) Points: 5: (answer 5) Points: 5: (answer 5) Points: (Button) Populate part 1 (save) (Button) Populate part 2 (save) (Button) Clear answer file (which would reset the answer file to it's original state) (Button) Clear form Answer file (standard xml format): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <questions> <question text="New table"> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> <answer text="" points=""/> </question> </questions> The answer data would be placed between the "" in the respective lines. For text and points. I know I'm asking a lot but I just don't know were to start. Thanks in advance for any reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenitoB Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the reply. So I looked at the help file and for the XML file it's not to relevent (my bad) it is just a TXT file. I am almost there...I was able to create my GUI with the inout boxes but now I am trying to write to a specific line and collumn but I can't fine how. I can write to the file but not hwere I want it to be. ex: Answer file: < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> < questions> <question text="New table"> <answer text="(With answer 1, I want to write here)" points="(With answer 2, I want to write here)"/> <answer text="(With answer 3, I want to write here)" points="(With answer 4, I want to write here)"/> <answer text="(With answer 5, I want to write here)" points="(With answer 6, I want to write here)"/> and so on...

DicatoroftheUSA Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Ok 99.9% done. Just one little question. how can I control in what text box the cursor will got when I press the Tab key?I believe it goes in order in which they are created in the script. So either create them in the order you want, or juggle the value of their handles. Edited December 21, 2012 by DicatoroftheUSA Statism is violence, Taxation is theft.
