How can I use AutoIT to type messages?

[mervin]

I am using a tool called whatsender. Basically it allows me to customize my messages to be sent to all my clients.

 

However, the free version have some limitations. I am unable to paste my text into the box. I have to type line by line each names and numbers of my clients.

 

I was wondering if I can make use of Autoit to type into the box so everytime i want to send customize messages, i can just activate AutoIT to do it. Is something like this possible?

Yes. It's the function "Send"

You can make a small script that does a clipget()

which takes whatever is in  the clipboard, and then send, to write all that down.

If needed, you can even limit the ammout of chars per line.

So, i did a bit of learning and found this code.

 

HotKeySet("+!h", "SendHi")

While(1)
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SendHi()
    Send("Abdul Latiff,12345678{ENTER}Joseph,12345678{ENTER}Ahmad,12345678")
EndFunc

 

So whenever i press alt shift H. it will paste it in. But, i have all the names and numbers in a text file in this format

name1,124

name2,1234

name3,1234

 

And i have about 300 names. Is there a way to let it extract from the .txt files?

Oh. Clipget is much better idea!

How do i modify the above to do it from Clipget?

You can go either way, grabbing from the txt file is also easy.

What you do to use clipget is you set a variable to it, and then use the variable in the send.

$Var = clipget()

send($var)

I did this,

HotKeySet("+!h", "SendHi")

While(1)
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
$var = ClipGet
Func SendHi()
    Send($var)
EndFunc

 

It says variable being sent without being declared, am i doing anything wrong?

Just put on top of script

Local $var

Sorry for asking constantly, i am very new to this.

 

HotKeySet("+!h", "SendHi")
Local $var = ClipGet

While(1)
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
Func SendHi()
    Send($var)
EndFunc

 

This time no error was sent. But nothing happened

It seems like all that was left was the brackets after the clipget()

This works for me, Changed key to F2, not a fan of using alt, ctrl shift..

HotKeySet("{F2}", "SendHi")
Local $var = ClipGet()

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SendHi()
    ConsoleWrite('Sending'&@CRLF)
    Send($var)
EndFunc

It worked! Thanks! Just had to wait a few minutes before it finished pasting everything! Haha! Thank you so much!

In order to make it faster you can tweak this:

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 5) ;5 milliseconds is the default, lower to make it faster, 0 is the fastest possible.

That line goes to the top, usualy.
