[Solved] AutoIt Stops

[Queener]

Shouldn't AutoIt stop running the scripts once it reach the end unless you code it to repeat scripts if it's reach the end of script? I tried LoopEnd, but that doesn't stop it.

Try ExitLoop...Also post your code so others can see where the issue is.

[guinness]

Show what you tried. Because if there no loop then in practice the script should end.

[Queener]

I will only post the functionality of it; the top portion is confidential info.

While 1
If WinActive($Title) Then
     ControlClick($Title,"","MozillaWindowClass1","Left",1,85,60)
     Send($Username,1)
Send("{TAB}")
     ControlClick($Title,"","MozillaWindowClass1","Left",1,85,83)
     Send($Password,1)
     Send("{ENTER}")
Exit
EndIf
Sleep(2000)
ExitLoop
WEnd

This code works the way I want it, but it does not stop the script. Was hoping if there's a code to auto close it process in task manager if it reaches the end of Send Enter.

EDIT:

Oh great, now I have to think about the process that I kill too. If the process is killed; the browser also kill itself.

asianqueen,

Can you give more details about what you are trying to do? If your code finds the window it is looking for it will do the send's and controlclick's and then end. If it does not find the window it will wait for 2 seconds and exit the while loop.

What does any of this have to do with Task Manager or terminating a process?

This script will auto login me into a website. Once it fully enter the website; i want it to kill itself so that it doesn't loop. If I don't kill the process and open another website that asking for user/pass; it will automatic type the user/pass with the credential I specified.

asianqueen,

The "exit" in the while loop should be doing just that.

If I don't kill the process and open another website

This is where you are loosing me. Your code will exit the while loop if the window you are looking for is not found. The script will continue to run. If you want to know anything beyond this then we need more code or more detailed explanation.

This is very basic needs. Just an auto login script. As soon as you login; just terminate itself so it doesn't loop. Thing is it still loop; thats the issue.

[BrewManNH]

As stated before, the Exit command in your while loop will exit the script, it will not keep running, it will not keep looping, it will not keep logging you into any websites, it will exit the script.

If the active window doesn't have the title that matches the string in $title, then it will pause 2 seconds and then exit the While loop. Whatever is after the While loop, which you didn't show, might be what is keeping the script going.

In many cases you can pass the ID and password in the url string. That way you can just create a favorite or bookmark and one click will do the job. I do this for the many SFDC instances I work with. Keeps things simple and no script required.

You're right. The script is already working. What I did was remove

;Created with ISN AutoIt Studio v. 0.92 BETA

#include <AutoPunch.isf>

and also compile with AutoIT instead of ISN AutoIT Studio Compiler.

Your example will always exit as it ends up as

While 1
[indent=1]'do a condition[/indent]
[indent=1]ExitLoop[/indent]
Wend

The only way your script will continue to execute is because you have a loop that you have not shown us.

Check the rest of your code for loop commands.

[Mechaflash]

If you've specified 'Exit' it will exit and the process will be terminated...

If you've specified 'ExitLoop', it will take itself at to the line after the current loop's 'WEnd'. If there is no code after the WEnd, it will act as if there was 'Exit'.

If it is still running, that means that 'Exit' was never reached or the end of file hasn't been reached yet, and there's something keeping it from exiting.

I think you may be either delusional, or there's additional code after the fact, or you didn't mention it's wrapped in a function and it returns somewhere we didn't know about...

[guinness]

Exit in a loop is bad coding practice, so is return (if the loop is in a function.)

Thats all the code... Above the code that I shown, it's only to tell autoit which site to go and what $username =, $password...

Like mention; it's a simple code just to logon to site and exit.

But for some reason ISN Compiler is giving me a hard time. After remove the line I mention and compile with the original autoit program; it works like a charm.

I'm having a similar issue. AutoIt won't exit property, except when the exit button is pressed in this script. If pressing any other button, the script sits in the system tray after the function is executed and eats memory.

copyleft,

Because you delete the gui but do not terminate the script. What do you want the script to do?
