Can I generate a number by function "Send" ? And other things.

[Omehatl]

Hello guys, I have some doubts. I want to make a code for navigating an application, saving X amount of files with correct numeration (x1, x2, x3), however I run with some problems:

*Can I create a Send command that will allow me to type ("Image 1") when x=1, ("Image 2") x=2, and so on? Sometimes I need to save up to 50 files so its important to have it work semi-automatic like that.
*When the file is being saved (its actually rendering an image, but anyways) the application will open another window to do the render. How can I reference this new window using something like ProcessWaitClose ? 

 

That is all for now, thank you very much for the help!

I cant seem to be able to edit my own post, but I solved the "x" counter part, however I still dont know how to solve the second issue.
Btw, this is my code if it helps: 

Sleep(5000);
Local $name = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cual nombre quieres para la imagen? / How do you want your image to be named?");
Local $numberofrenders = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cuantas imagenes desea renderizar?/ How many renders do you wish to create?");
Local $x = Int (1);


While $x<=$numberofrenders

   Send("!f");
   Send("B");
   Sleep(2000);
   Send($name);
   Send($x);
   Send(".png");
   Send("{ENTER}");
   ProcessWaitClose();
   $x++;
   Send("{LEFT}");

   WEnd;

You can use WinWaitClose or if you know the name of the window title, class etc... You can also use the following for a loop:

Recommend using ControlSend rather than Send, use the AutoIt Window Info tool to find the window info.

If you want to use ProcessWaitClose you would need to know the process id, you maybe able to do this with WinList, when using WinWait.. ProcessWait.. would recommend using a timeout otherwise the script will halt until that window or process becomes available.

Local $sFileName = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cual nombre quieres para la imagen? / How do you want your image to be named?");
Local $iNumberOfRenders = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cuantas imagenes desea renderizar?/ How many renders do you wish to create?");
For $i = 1 To $iNumberOfRenders
    _Render($sFileName & $i & ".png")
Next

Func _Render($_sFileName)
    ControlSend("Title", "", "!f")
    ControlSend("Title", "", "B")
    Sleep(2000)
    ControlSend("Title", "", $_sFileName)
    ControlSend("Title", "", "{ENTER}")
    WinWaitClose("Title", "", 5)
    ControlSend("Title", "", "{LEFT}")
EndFunc

Thank you!
Regrettably, I couldnt use ControlSend for most of the typing, because it seems even if I write exactly the application's window title (that i've got with AutoIt window tool), it wont detect it and the process wont work. But I can make it work for the "$_sFileName" line because that is another window.

I had this trouble with the "WinWaitClose" command too, the name the tool provides isnt detected by the program. So I cant set any restriction and can just guess for now

Other thing that I noticed is that Send {LEFT} comand wont work. Regrettably, this is the only thing preventing the code from actually working. All the other errors only impact time effectiveness.

 

So to make it work, the code looks like this for now 

Local $_sPictureName = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cual nombre quieres para la imagen? / How do you want your image to be named?");
Local $iNumberOfRenders = InputBox (" Confirmacion ", " ¿Cuantas imagenes desea renderizar?/ How many renders do you wish to create?");
sleep(5000)
For $i = 0 To $iNumberOfRenders
    _Render($_sPictureName & $i & ".png")
Next

Func _Render($_sPictureName)
    Send("!f");
    Sleep(500)
    Send("B");
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlSend("render to picture file", "", "", $_sPictureName)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    sleep(10000)
    Send("{LEFT}")

EndFunc
