Second for loop not working

[cherrylatte]

Hi guys 

I am trying to execute each version of a browser (first for loop) and get a version of each of the file database by using SQLite tool. (second loop) 

The first for loop seems to work fine. But when it goes into a second loop, the second for loop seems to stop after like 1~2 times of looping.

I could not find the reason for it.  

If I separate those loops into each au3 files,,then it seems to work fine...I'll show you guys the code..I'd appreciate it if anybody finds a solution

expandcollapse popup

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
;#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>


Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Global $result_file1 = "C:\Users\hello\Desktop\result.txt"
Local $sFilePath1 = "C:\test"
Local $sFilePath2 = "C:\test\User Data"

Local $aFileList = _FileListToArray($sFilePath1 , "test*", Default, True) ;get the whole path of files starting with 'test' under C;test  and put it in array
Local $aSaltList = _FileListToArrayRec($sFilePath2,  "file db",1, -2 , 1, 2) ; get the whole path of files named ' file db' under 2 depth of userdata  folder

For $i=1 to UBound($aFileList)-1
   Sleep(3000)
   ShellExecute($aFileList[$i])

   Local $hWnd = WinWait("chrome"," ",10)

   WinActivate($hWnd)

   Sleep(6500)

   WinClose($hWnd)

   Sleep(100)

   ProcessClose ("chrome.exe")


   Sleep(4000)

Next

For $j=2 to UBound($aSaltList)-1
   Sleep(3000)

   ShellExecute($aSaltList[$j]) ;;PROBLEM

   Sleep(2000)

   ;sqlite
   Open()

   Sleep(3000)

  ;run sql
   RunSql()

Next


Func Open() ;open sqlitespy

Sleep(3000)

Send("s")
Sleep(1500)
Send("{ENTER}")

EndFunc

Func RunSql() ;run a sql sentence and save the result in a result.txt file

   ControlClick("[CLASS:TfrmMain]","","[CLASS:TDISynEdit]")
   Send("select * from version {F9}")

   ControlClick("[CLASS:TfrmMain]","","[CLASS:TMemo]","left",2)
   Sleep(1500)
   Send("^c")

   Local $string1 = ClipGet()
   FileWrite($result_file1, $aSaltList[$j])
   FileWrite($result_file1, "    ")
   FileWriteLine($result_file1, $string1)

   ProcessClose ("SQLiteSpy.exe")

EndFunc

When posting code, please use AutoIt code tags (that's the "<>" button in the editor). Greatly enhances readability of your code

The only thing I can see from the code here is that ShellExecute might not be starting the file(s) given to it from the array.

Test if it works on one file...

Find out what program starts/runs the DB ( I assume ) file you are trying to start and write the code accordingly.

thanks I changed it

I assume the problem is caused by the Sleep statements followed by Send.
When the application isn't ready after the Sleep the Send statement will never reach the application.

I suggest to use UDFs to automate Chrome and SQLite. You will find them in the wiki:

Hi guys , I found out the reason why the second loop wasn't working.

It's because I miss placed below statement.

Local $aSaltList = _FileListToArrayRec($sFilePath2,  "file db",1, -2 , 1, 2) ; get the whole path of files named ' file db' under 2 depth of userdata  folder

 that statement has to be right after the end of first for_loop because the files supposed to be in aSaltList is not yet in complete state until the first for_loop finishes

anyways I appreciate for the help!
