My first If.. ElseIf statement

[viriiman]

I know something's wrong, I just don't know where:

CODE

Run("C:\pqr\Get_Network_Adapter_Address.exe")

Do

$text = WinGetText("", "")

If $text = ("NOT found in Server Database") Then

Run("notepad.exe C:\pqr\users.ini")

Sleep(500)

Run("cmd.exe")

Sleep(500)

Send("ipconfig /all")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitClose("users.ini - Notepad")

Send("{ENTER 2}")

ElseIf $text = ("Insert Text Here") Then

WinWaitActive("Title" , "Text")

Send("(ENTER)")

WinWaitActive("Title" , "Text")

Send("(ENTER)")

EndIf

Until WinWaitClose("NIC Address and Computer Name")

The first half is (pretty much) completed code. If the MAC address isn't located in the database, the script pulls up a dos prompt, sends it the ipconfig so I can get the MAC, and the opens up the .ini file I need to put the MAC address in.

The second half needs to wait until I have access to a PC to replicate what happens is if does successfully locate the mac in the database. It's all dialog boxes that pop up, which I should be able to deal with.

The trick is not every location will give me this error (some places I visit will allow the program to automatically get the MAC address, other places it won't). At the end of the script, it's going to run the final program (which I think I can handle).

I also am using the WinGetText because the titles of the dialog boxes are the same if the program succeeds or fails.

Hope all of this info is helpful. I've tried for about two hours now to figure this out on my own (and with the help of other posts in the fourms and the help file), but I'm just stumped.

THANKS!

First of all: After EVERY Run() add WinWaitActive() function.

Just WinWait() will do ... WinWaitActive() could be tricky when the window doesn't get the focus ..

Also WinGetText() should have one of the first two parameters filled in that makes the target window unique and thus properly selected.

He is using Send() which works only with active window.

So maybe combination: WinWait() + WinActivate()

The reason (in the first section) that I don't user WinWait is because the title of the screen can differ as it's a DOS prompt. The sleep and send works well.

My concern is that I haven't written the code correctly. I have the second half of the info I need and will be putting it in shortly.

CODE

Run("C:\pqr\Get_Network_Adapter_Address.exe")

Do

$text = WinGetText("", "")

If $text = ("NOT found in Server Database") Then

Run("notepad.exe C:\pqr\users.ini")

Sleep(500)

Run("cmd.exe")

Sleep(500)

Send("ipconfig /all")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitClose("users.ini - Notepad")

Send("{ENTER 2}")

ElseIf $text = ("NIC Address and Computer Name updated Successfully") Then

Send("(ENTER)")

EndIf

Until WinWaitClose("NIC Address and Computer Name")

Run("C:\pqr\program.exe")

(The above is the final code)

With the above code, when it gets to the dialog box that says "Not found in databse", it doesn't open notepad and barrels on through right to the C:\pqr\program.exe

What did I do wrong?
