Very New - Need help with variable

[sksguy]

For whatever reason I cant seem to get my script to send a variable using the SEND command

$count = 1

Send ("$count")

$count = $count+1

yadda yadda

Could someone help me with why it types the actual characters ($count) instead of the variable 1

send($count)

its a variable... thus no quotes

For $x = 1 to 10
    
    $count = 1
    Send ($count)
    $count = $count+1
    
    Sleep(100); slow it down a little
    
Next

Worked......thank you

One more question. How do I pause a script until a webpage is fully loaded?

I tried

WinWaitActive to pause it but it only pauses until the window is physically there, not until the content is finished loading.

I used a sleep command for now, but it not efficient at all this way.

Thanks in advance... This is my first steps into this exciting world and Im loving it already

Cheers all

just sayin... doing the $count = $count+1 doesnt do anything

you need to make $count = 1 BEFORE the For statement... like

$count = 1
For $x = 1 to 10
        
    
    Send ($count)
    $count = $count+1
    
    Sleep(100); slow it down a little   
Next

if you didnt already know that

Welcome to the forums!

One more question. How do I pause a script until a webpage is fully loaded?

The browser probably displays something along the lines of 'Done' when the page has finished loading. Perhaps something like this will do the trick:

WinWait('Title of web page', 'Done')

When you want to get more advanced, Dale's IE automation UDF library will help you achieve this more seamlessly.

Thanks everyone. Dales little gem has helped me figure out the problem perfectly.

But if you want wait loading page in FireFox, then im using PixelGetColor(). Im getting color from "Stop" button in my browser, and while "Stop" button is red, my script sleeps...

I hope you understand my text, because my english is very bad
