Set auto start the autoit on Window Task Scheduler 2. Open text fileRun('C:\Users\IO04\Desktop\test.txt')_WinWaitActivate("test.txt - Notepad","")3.check text file if text is ABC atMouseMove(12,70)MouseDown("left")MouseMove(37,70)MouseUp("left")equal with ABC (hard code on AutoIT ) then process Close text fileelseSleep(5000)EndifI dont know how to compare 2 strings from coordinate like this case. Pls advise test.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyfirex Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's easier to read the file data and set to a variable. then compare the requiered text. Saludos Danysys.com AutoIt...

phillipss Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks Danyfirex, I tested some samples on read the file data and set it to variable then compare with hard code text but it's not useful on my case. Cos text file must be open then AutoIT will go line by line to check the required text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Then you're doing it wrong.Global $aFileText = FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt") Global $iLines = @extended For $I = 0 to $iLines If StringInStr($aFileText[$i], "DEF", 0) Then MsgBox(0, "Found it", $aFileText[$i]) EndIf Nexthaving AutoIt open the text file and read it is a hell of a lot better than trying to send the mouse around the screen to Notepad and hoping it's in the right place.

phillipss Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks BrewManNH, Your code is still read data file (closed file) instead of read data on text file that opened. If text file is opened so I can change value at that position such as: QWE or SDF to run/process another scripts, when I type ABC at that position, AutoIt will close the text file and stop the auto.

BrewManNH Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 What are you trying to do with this file? Whatever it is, you probably don't need to open it in Notepad to do it.Try thinking outside your box, automating notepad is a dead end road when you're talking about text files. It is a much better solution to do it without notepad, unless there's something you're doing in notepad that absolutely can't be done without it.
