IE7 Clear Cache script

[ronaldjeremy]

As a web developer i constantly find myself clearing my IE7 browser cache to see/fix changed script,content,etc. After utterly failing to find a way to have a shell script delete temporary internet files (while in use), I turned to autoit and it works perfectly!

I created the .au3 script file. The key part was to enable the "links" toolbar in IE7, and drag-n-drop my .au3 script to the IE7 links toolbar so I can click it from within IE7.

Here's the script, hope someone finds it useful:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Send("!O")

Send("{UP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Exit

Hi Ronald,

instead of

Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")

you should use

Send("{TAB 4}")

Send("{TAB 4}")

nice, thank you Johannes. as you can tell, im new to this i also discovered using esc instead of tabs/enter to close dialogs works better. revised script:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Send("!O")

Send("{UP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB 4}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB 8}")

Send("{ENTER 2}")

Send("{ESC 2}")

Exit

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

even better:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Send("!O")

Send("{UP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB 4}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("+f")

Send("{ENTER 2}")

Send("{ESC 2}")

Exit

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

hmm it looks like the results i get with my core2 quad are different than a slower machine. here is my latest revision to compensate:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Send("!O")

Send("{UP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB 4}")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Delete Browsing History", "", 2)

Send("+f")

WinWaitActive("Delete Files", "", 2)

Send("+y")

Send("{ESC 2}")

Exit

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Hopefully this will be the final revision, it seems to work best on all the machines I've tested it on:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Send("!O")

Send("{O}")

Send("{UP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Internet Options", "", 2)

Send("{TAB 4}")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Delete Browsing History", "", 2)

Send("+f")

WinWaitActive("Delete Files", "", 2)

Send("+y")

Send("{ESC 2}")

Exit

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

ControlSend("Blank Page - Windows Internet Explorer","","","!to")
Sleep(100)
