decision based on message returned

[cbarber54 0]

I am using autoitscript to enter data into input screen. If I enter an account number the program will return one of several messages. I need to examine the message and respond appropriately.

An example:

Category Order No P Med Rec N

1 Dict Dr N

2 Ord Dr N

3 Other Drs N

4 Ins Comps N

5

"V000000180 TEST,A ADM IN OK? "

"V0000000180 test,a adm in ok" - is the message displayed by the program for this account. It is prompting for a yes or no.

The next account entered may send a different message that may require an additional response.

This is just one example of a message - there are other messages.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks for your help .

Select/Case structure is what you're looking for.

While 1; primary data loop start
   $msg = ControlGetText("window","text","ControlID")
      If @error then ExitLoop
   Select
      Case $msg = "V000000180  TEST,A  ADM IN  OK?  "
        ; do functions for this message
      Case $msg = ""V000000180  PROD,B  ADM IN  OK?  "
        ; do functions for this message
      Case Else
        ; do functions related to anything else
   EndSelect
WEnd; primary data loop end

Thanks Blue_Drache,

This helped a lot - but I could not use ControlGetText because this is running under OSAL and not true Microsoft window. Could not get ControlID.

I had to use CursorMove to outline message (program restraing) and copy to clipboard.

Then clipget to identify message.

Not very neat - but it works.

Thanks for your help.
