Insert random line into specific field

[bostjan35]

Hey all,

 

Could someone please help n00b with this? I was searching everywhere, but couldn't find a proper solution.

I'm trying to read random line from text file and insert it into specific field (popup contact form, textarea).

While reading func works, as well as inserting, I cannot put those two together, it always throws error parsing variable.

Here's my messed code so far:

1. Reading random line

$sFile = "myfile.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)
$sFile = FileOpen($sFile)
$line = FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1, $lines, 1))

;send line into textarea
Send($line) ; 1st try
;ClipPut($line) ; 2nd try
;send("+{insert}") ; 2nd try
FileClose($sFile)

2. Inserting

Local $data2 = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "message[body]")
_IEFormElementSetValue($data2, $line) ;replaced text with $line, added the whole thing before fileClose, but no luck :(

Help, pls:)

Based on your "Inserting" segment it looks like you want to put the text into an Internet Explorer field. If that's the case you have more work to do staring with including the IE UDFs (IE.AU3) and creating an IE object (_IECreate). The first 2 entries in the help file for IE Management are helpful in getting your head around the topic.

What is the purpose for wanting to do this at all?

@Dwalfware, Maybe there was a reason for me asking that question....   and maybe it would have been wise to hold off posting your answer and wait for the OP to answer my question first?

Hi, sorry for late reply.

No special reason, just learning autoit.

But I figured it out already, so thanks anyway.

 

Take care:)
