[SOLVED] Loop exits before it should

[telmob]

I'm trying to run the loop below for 80 times, but it always exits much sooner.

Am i doing something wrong? It's been a while since i use AutoIt.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Exit")
HotKeySet("+;", "GenerateBarcode") ; Shift-Alt-d

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Exit

Func GenerateBarcode()
    For $i = 80 To 1 Step -1
        MouseWheel("down",50)
        MouseClick("left",171,296,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,316,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,336,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,356,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,376,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,396,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,416,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,436,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,456,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,476,1)
        Sleep(500)
        MouseClick("left",1256,170,1)
        MouseClick("left",1256,190,1)
        MouseClick("left",1256,210,1)
        Sleep(1000)
        MouseClick("left",1256,290,1)
    Next
        Exit
EndFunc   ;==>GenerateBarcode

try this mod for your program bye

ShowMessage()
Func ShowMessage()
    For $i = 0 To 80
     ConsoleWrite ("de made ")
    Next
        Exit
EndFunc   ;==>GenerateBarcode

Ended at 14. The writing in the console worked, but not the mouseclick.

Edit: Thank you for your reply.

@telmob

Mouse* functions are not very reliable for automate applications.

Which application are you trying to automate?

My company's ERP in Chrome. I need to generate a barcode manually for each product, and those are the steps i need to take for each product. I said i need to loop it 80 times before, but it's actually more than 3300.

Not sure I understand what you mean.  What exactly is working and what is not.  So you say it ended prematurely, unless there is code elsewhere, I do not think it is possible.

Thanks for your help. The execution behaves erratically.

Below if the full code. This time it reached 16... go figure. Doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it's stressing the system too much!? (which i doubt)

 

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Exiter")
HotKeySet("+;", "GenerateBarcode") ; Shift-Alt-d

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Exiter()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Func GenerateBarcode()
    For $i = 0 to 80
        MouseWheel("down",50)
        MouseClick("left",171,296,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,316,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,336,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,356,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,376,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,396,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,416,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,436,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,456,1)
        MouseClick("left",171,476,1)
        Sleep(500)
        MouseClick("left",1256,170,1)
        MouseClick("left",1256,190,1)
        MouseClick("left",1256,210,1)
        Sleep(1000)
        MouseClick("left",1256,290,1)
        ConsoleWrite($i & " ")
    Next
        Exit
EndFunc   ;==>GenerateBarcode

I'll see if i can use WebDriver.

SOLVED! The freaking Antivirus was the problem. It stopped the script, for some reason.

Stopped the AV and now it's working perfectly. Oh well... Btw, i'm using Webroot SecureAnywhere. (was!)

Figure.  Don't know this particular AV, but with most of them, you can exclude (white list) some folders/files

That's a good idea. Thanks!
