How do I store a value and add a number to it?

[computergroove]

I am making a program that will auto fill a form. I am confused on a couple of things. I need it to go something like this:

$variable1 = 1000

While 1
    Call ("start")
WEnd
Func start()
    MouseClick ("left"); I want this to click on a x,y coordinate - not sure of the code but I do have the coordinates
        Send ("variable1")
        Send ("{TAB}")
        Send ("variable1")
        Send ("{ENTER}")
        variable1 = variable1 + 1; I am guessing that this is also coded wrong but I want the 1000 to become 1001
    Sleep (3000)
    Send ("{BACKSPACE}")
    Sleep (3000)
    call("start")
EndFunc

I have most of this down. I was not able to understand the variable tutorial. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

this one will click on the upper left corner

MouseClick ("left",0,0)

to increase the number use

Send ($variable1 + 1)

Welcome to the AutoIt forums!

Perhaps this will do it.

$variable1 = 1000

While 1
    Start();using Call is not needed
WEnd
Func start()
Local $xpos = 345, $ypos = 776;put your coordinates here
    MouseClick ("left",$xpos, $ypos); I want this to click on a x,y coordinate - not sure of the code but I do have the coordinates
        Send ($variable1);use the variable name itself
        Send ("{TAB}")
        Send ($variable1)
        Send ("{ENTER}")
        $variable1 = $variable1 + 1; I am guessing that this is also coded wrong but I want the 1000 to become 1001
    Sleep (3000)
    Send ("{BACKSPACE}")
    Sleep (3000)
  ; call("start");don't call the function again or you will get a problem
EndFunc
