Loop Problem


Recommended Posts

You would think I would know this now, but I still have some trouble with this. (sigh) I have a application that has some trouble with send and controlsend. I will get only part of the string sent, or something that is lower case be sent in upper case, or a _ instead of a -. I'm not sure why this app has this trouble, but I'm trying to make a workaround to check to make sure the data sent is correct. I tried this, and of course, it doesn't work.

while 3   
   $search1 = IniRead("bin\unplus.ini", @UserName, "searchincident", "")
   ClipPut("")
   send("^a")
   sleep(10)
   send("^c")
   sleep(5)
   send("^c");needed for sometimes it will return a blank string, when in fact there is something there.
   $info = string(ClipGet())
;MsgBox(0,"",$info)  
   if not $info = $search1 then return  ;example: CTS-M = CTS-MA
   if $info = $search1 then ExitLoop ;example: CTS-MA = CTS-MA
  wend 
  sleep(100)
  send("!s")

What it does is check the string that was sent to the field. It does this by copying it to the clipboard, then doing a compare with what is in the INI file. If it matches, it will exit the loop, and do a send to allow the app to process the data entered. My problem is that it gets either stuck, or won't work at all.

Have you tried ControlSetText()?

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

The problem is the control has no ID. I've tried, but the only way I can access the control is to do a mouse click. I can access the control by doing this no problem, but the problem is sending the data. It will work 5 times out of 6 or so. Every so often it will send only part of the string, or one of the characters sent is incorrect. That is why I want to do a error check.

I figured it out. I really need to get this down so I don't get smacked by silly stuff like this:

_F3_chk1()
  While 2   
  $search1 = IniRead("bin\unplus.ini", @UserName, "searchincident", "")
  $info = string(ClipGet())
  if $search1 = $info then 
   ExitLoop
  Else
   _F3_chk1()
  EndIf 
  wend 
  sleep(100)
  send("!s")

Func _F3_chk1()
   $search1 = IniRead("bin\unplus.ini", @UserName, "searchincident", "")
   sleep(300)
      Send($search1)
   ClipPut("")
   send("^a")
   sleep(10)
   send("^c")
   sleep(5)
   send("^c")
  ;$info = string(ClipGet())
EndFunc
