programs stop early

[bechtudo]

I have several recorded programs which only run for a littel bit and just stop. I have loops in there which ran in the past when I wanted this all night long but now they just stop after 2 or 3 times. Any idea what's happening here. The message I get is

AU3Check ended.rc:0

and Exit code:   0

[JohnOne]

Error on line 342 maybe?

[bechtudo]

excuse me?

[JohnOne]

Why what have you done?

[bechtudo]

I try to understand your comment or your question?

[jdelaney]

We can only speculate without your script.  We would also need the reason for exiting the loop, or failing, or blowing up.

Any advice anyone gives you will be a waste of time without more info.  We can't see through your eyes, or read minds.

here it is:

; Set the Escape hotkey to terminate the script.
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate")
$var1=0

While $var1<25
    MouseClick("left",1129,601,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,584,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,566,1)
    MouseMove(1133,551)
    MouseDown("left")
    MouseMove(1136,551)
    MouseUp("left")
    MouseClick("left",1134,537,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1133,518,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1129,496,1)
    Sleep(27000)
    $var1=$var1+1
WEnd

Func _Terminate()
    Exit

I assure you that your script will run through the loop exactly 25 times without fail.

But, since you are doing actions that provide no feedback, you are probably correct that it only runs what you think is 'successfully' a few times.

What are you automating...use the win* and control* or _ie* functions to more reliable 'do' what you need to do.

what I don't understand is the script ran exactly 26 times without fail but not any more. All i do is simulate some mouse clocks.

[jdelaney]

If you want it to run forever, don't constrain the loop...just do a:

While True
Wend

Or, delete the increment to the counter at the end of the loop.

I did a While True

Wend

 

same result, i guess it is ,my computer.

[jdelaney]

....

While True
    MouseClick("left",1129,601,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,584,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,566,1)
    MouseMove(1133,551)
    MouseDown("left")
    MouseMove(1136,551)
    MouseUp("left")
    MouseClick("left",1134,537,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1133,518,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1129,496,1)
    Sleep(27000)

WEnd

This runs FOREVER...if your response is 'it only does it a few times', then you better elaborate on what you are automating and what "IT" is!!

[bechtudo]

Thank you - it ran 3 times and ended. Thansk for trying.

Edited January 13, 2016 by bechtudo

[jdelaney]

let me guess...you pressed your hotkey to exit the script.

[bechtudo]

No I did not touch the computer, just started the script and watched. 

[jdelaney]

It's logically impossible for my EXACT script I provided you to run only 3 times.  Unless the clicks happen to hit something on the scite window that stops the script execution.

...Maybe you have a virus scanner that is killing your script execution.

Edited January 13, 2016 by jdelaney

[bechtudo]

I have two monitors and the scite window is on one monitor and the clicks happen on the second monitor.

[jdelaney]

Do you have a virus scanner that's terminating your script.

[bechtudo]

I had recently my scanner identifying Autoit as a potential threat but I told the program to allow it to run all the time.

[EmilyLove]

Try this:

; Set the Escape hotkey to terminate the script.
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate")

for $i = 1 to 25
    MouseClick("left",1129,601,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,584,1)
    MouseClick("left",1128,566,1)
    MouseMove(1133,551)
    MouseDown("left")
    MouseMove(1136,551)
    MouseUp("left")
    MouseClick("left",1134,537,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1133,518,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    MouseClick("left",1129,496,1)
    Sleep(27000)
next


Func _Terminate()
    Exit
endfunc

ps. You forgot to close your terminate function with endfunc.

Added sample script.
