New at AutoIT

[Arkbound]

Hi im new here, and new to AutoIT programming. i know a bit of programming with Turing if that helps.

I'm currently trying to make a program that will initiate/pause/stop when a certain button is pushed.

When initiated, i want the program to be able to press a key with a configurable delay, and press another key at another configurable delay.

For Example.

loop

1. Press Tab (delay 1 minute until next click)

2. Press "4" 14 times with 4 second delay between each one

3. Press Tab (delay 10 seconds)

end loop

so it keeps going and goin doing that script until i turn it off. What commands would i need to do this? If someone is willing, can someone make a script of this loop?

Welcome

What have you tried/done yourself to get it done ?

i've looked in the help file for similar Turing commands. But since they are different languages, its hard to find matches. I know there are no "loop" commands, is it a "while" command now?

Well all i've done so far is search through the help file. I've found mouse clicks but i dont think that'll work with what im trying to do

Welcome,

You seem very new indeed to AutoIt. How about trying Valuator's AutoIt 1-2-3 tutorial to get you up to speed a little. You may enjoy the experience and also learn through using it.

Look into helpfile at these commands and examples:

While

Send()

Sleep()

Well i just looked through it, it seems to have alot of GUI lessons, and im not really that far yet T.T

Also the AutoIT 123, i got stuck on a survey thing. i filled everything and still the next button doesnt pop.

New Problem

While 1
if _IsPressed("23") Then
While 1
    $loop = 0
    Send("TAB",1)
    While $loop <= 11
    Send("4",1)
    sleep(500)
    $loop = $loop + 1
    Wend
Send ("TAB",1)
sleep (1000)
Wend
endif
WEnd

Im trying to put in a stop button, when i try to insert 'if _IsPressed("24") Then Exit Endif" statements like this:

While 1
if _IsPressed("23") Then
While 1
if _IsPressed("24") Then Exit
Endif
    $loop = 0
    Send("TAB",1)
    While $loop <= 11
if _IsPressed("24") Then Exit
Endif
    Send("4",1)
    sleep(500)
    $loop = $loop + 1
    Wend
Send ("TAB",1)
sleep (1000)
if _IsPressed("24") Then Exit
Endif
Wend
endif
WEnd

It then doesnt work, saying im missing "WEnd"

Also how do i convert it into an exe file?

Maybe try this...

#include<misc.au3>
Do
Send("{TAB}")
Sleep(60000)
For $i=1 to 14
Send("4")
Sleep(4000)
Next
Send("{TAB}")
Sleep(10000)
Until _IsPressed("24")

The easiest way to edit AutoIt scripts, check them, run them, and compile them... is from SciTE. SciTE is a Scintilla based editor that has be customized for AutoIt. Almost everyone on this forum is using SciTE to edit their scripts. Copy/Paste of your script above into SciTE, followed by Ctrl-t to run "Tidy", and some of your basic mistakes become very clear.

The first big one you need to correct is the syntax of your 'If' commands. AutoIt will take it two ways: on a single line, or multi-line. If your conditional action is a single line, then the whole thing can go on one line AND THERE IS NO ENDIF. For instance:

if _IsPressed("24") Then ExitoÝ÷ Ù8Z¶X§zÈhºWaj÷§ IÝ!öµêâµ·j붢wb¶*'jV¶*'ßÑ1ÝýÁ«"ÉnuçhØ^±©)Þ|­g²¢èZ½é®Ø©ç(Ø­ì~éܶ*'²Ú)z·è®j+ü¨º;¬¶X¤zØ^³)ík޶׫¦ëg¢ØbµêííýN§ßÛ-jצz{ZÛ¬{DÒßÛhªä¶ÚßÒßÖ®¶­sfbô5&W76VBgV÷C³#BgV÷C²FVâ¢W@¤VæD` ¦bô5&W76VBgV÷C³#2gV÷C²FVâ¢×6t&÷cBÂgV÷C´FöæRgV÷C²ÂgV÷C´b33¶ÒFöæRæ÷râgV÷C²¢W@¤VæD`

Hm i got another problem now.

you know how its Send ("{TAB}",1), it actually types out {TAB} and not press the tab button. how do i make it press the tab button

[RazerM]

By using 1 as the second parameter you are telling AutoIt to send {TAB} rather than press tab key.

use

Send("{TAB}")

instead
