kylet90 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 expandcollapse popup; filename to read $file_to_read = "C:\testing\source.txt" ; open file to read and store the handle $handle_read = FileOpen($file_to_read, 0) ; check the handle is valid If $handle_read = -1 Then ; show warning and exit with code 1 MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, 'failed to open handle to read the file') Exit 1 EndIf ; loop through each line of the file While 1 ; read each line from a file $line_read = FileReadLine($handle_read) ; exit the loop if end of file If @error = -1 Then End() EndIf ; Checks if 7007 is open and sends clipboard. If WinExists("SC7007_01") Then ClipPut($line_read) WinActivate ("SC7007_01") WinWaitActive ("SC7007_01") ControlSend("SC7007_01", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "33") ControlSend("SC7007_01", "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6TextBox; INSTANCE:3]", ClipGet() ) Send ("{ENTER}") Else MsgBox(0, "Error", "LPScala 7007 is not running") Exit 3 EndIf WEnd Func End() MsgBox(0, "End", "Move to next step") Exit 4 EndFunc ; close the file handle for read FileClose($handle_read) ; close the file handle for write FileClose($handle_write) Hi, The script should read up to 4 lines from a text file, then paste the output in to an application. However, it always seems to skip line 2 with the below code. But it doesn't skip the line if use ClipGet with MsgBox instead of the application. I've no idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried adding a few sleep commands to make sure it had enough time but that didn't work.. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidney Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) why r you using clipGet and Clipput when you have a variable with the value already stored in it?? ControlSend("SC7007_01", "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6TextBox; INSTANCE:3]", $line_read ) add a msgbox before you send the info to make sure you have the correct output. it could be that the app you r using is blocking the input cuz it has characters it does not accept.

kylet90 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll try that thanks, although I would still expect ClipGet to give the same answer. Its not being rejected, its always a 12 digit number, ive re-arranged numbers in the file andnit only skips the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewPlaza Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Try ConsoleWrite. What do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution kylet90 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Solution Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi, This can be closed now. I managed to get this working using ControlFocus. I also took the advice of Kidney to clean up the code. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
