Trying to pull info from a txt/ini file

[Noxxy]

Hi folks,

So I'm fairly new to autoit script, and I was wondering how you would be able to read data from, say, a txt file, and enter it into a form in Firefox.

The pseudo code would be as follows:

-Locate Form Window 1 (either by tabbing however many times needed, or by clicking in the appropriate dimension)

-Read first five characters from data file

-Type out those five characters

-Tab

-Read next four characters from data file

-Type out those four characters

-Tab

...and so on

-Enter

-Goto Locate Form Window 1

The problem here is figuring out how to read from the data, copy the characters needed, and then type them out in the Firefox window. Any help in this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

To read four characters, see this page:

I wouldn't try to automate firefox. I'd look at ie.au3 (do a search on the forum). This will allow you to automate access to Internet Explorer.
