A question-need help

[Guest Warped]

I'm trying to create a script to open Windows IE go to a site and do some things...

So far, I havn't gotten past opening Notepad

I'm doing

Run, iexplore.exe, C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer

When i try it, it says

Line 1:

Run, iexplore.exe, C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer

Error: Unable to run program. (Ensure that backslashes \ have been used properly).

Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

Also, could someone instruct me on how to:

1. Once in IE type something in the address bar

2. How to move the mouse (anything i try puts the mouse in the top left of my screen (how can i tell what to put the co-ordinates as?))

3. How do I just type things?

4. How do I use keys like TAB and CTRL?

Thanks in advance (Sry for all the questions, I looked in the help but im technically challenged )

Are you sure you posted in the right forum? That type of coding is the old v.2 style. You are posting in the v.3 vorum.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

To run internet explorer with a website you want:

Run("explorer http://www.msn.com")

1. Send("{F6}www.google.com")

2. MouseMove ( x, y [, speed] )

3. Send ( "keys" [, flag] )

4. '!'

This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".

'^'

This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a".

It's all in the help file...
