Glutch Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Hello! I've been having a big struggle figuring out how to solve this problem. So basically i want AutoIt to search for a specific text. For example "Hello" and then click 100px to the left of that text. I'm creating the script for Internet Explorer. How i would solve this problem as a human is simply: 1. CTRL+F "Hello" 2. Drag mouse & click I would greatly appreciate a solution to this, and im completely new to AutoIt so ELI5! _IEGetObjectById does not work here in this case, and i dont know how to click 100 pixels left of said object.

water Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Welcome to AutoIt and the forum! I suggest you have a look at the IE UDF that comes with AutoIt. Edit: I just noticed that you have tried the UDF already. Can you please post the script, a link to the URL you try to automate and a description of the error you get (if any).

Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2015 Provide a url that we can test on, if you can't/won't use the url you're actually working on, then you can: 1. Find a site that is similar to your issue that we can use. 2. Create html that we can run in a browser that demonstrates your issue that we can test on. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Glutch Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thank you for the answers. I solved it like this Send ("{CTRLDOWN}") Send ("f") Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do Send ("{CTRLUP}") MouseClick("Left", 244, 68) Send ("Hello") MouseClick("Left", 119, 836) Its a bad solution, but it works everytime. Even though the list it searches through has 100 different rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
