Loop Problem

[dvlkn]

Hello

I am fairly new to AutoIt and I need help on the following. I wrote a script to automatically surf web pages and copy some data off it.

My problem is, there are about 15 web pages to visit and I don't know how to create the appropriate loop so that it enters the address of the next link but perform the same process (i.e copy / paste data into notepad)

At the moment I merely reproduced the same portion of code but each with different addresses to do the job but then the code is so long

My code looks like this: (for 1 web page)

WinActivate ("Mozilla Firefox")

MouseClick ("Left", 446, 67)
Sleep 300
Send ("address of webpage here")  [color="#0000FF"]this is what I want to loop to go through several web pages[/color]
Send ("{ENTER}")
Sleep (5000)

MouseMove ("71, 331, 50") [color="#0000FF"]this is the task to be performed on each page[/color]            

Sleep (500)

MouseDown ("Left")

Sleep (500)

MouseMove ("769, 669")

Sleep (500)

MouseUp ("Left")
Sleep (500)

Send ("^c")

Sleep (500)

WinActivate ("untitled - notepad")

Sleep (500)

Send ("^v")

Sleep (500)

WinActivate ("Mozilla Firefox")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. It would probably be much more efficient to use the IE* functions.

2. Put each link and window title into an array:

... pseudo:

... aLinks[16] = ["", "http://www.etc1", "http://www.etc2", etc]

... aTitles[16] = ["", "Title 1", "Title 2"];Not a fan .... IE* funcs would be easier with objects created, but if you must:

3. Create a For/Next loop

For $i = 1 to 15

ShellExecute($aLinks[$i])

WinWait($aTitles[$i])

Execute rest

Next

So in essence you could create an array for each thing to do and sum up your operation in very few lines.
