incrementing a variable by 1 for each instance

[foolove]

Instead of having 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 for the images how can i assign a variable and have it increment by count 1 each time the variable is called i want to have a while loop with this

Also additionally would like to have the loop exit on say like when count is up to 144 or after it has been call so many times issue ExitLoop

expandcollapse popup

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
 
;Set the scrip to exit when you press ESC
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
 
Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc
 
 
sleep(5000)
 
For $i = 1 to 144 Step 1
MouseMove(76,125,3)
sleep(5000)
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\DDH_$i.jpg", 1030, 61, 1267, 397)
sleep(500)
 
MouseMove(185,125,3)
sleep(500)
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\DDH_$i.jpg", 1030, 61, 1267, 397)
sleep(500)
 
MouseMove(298,125,3)
sleep(500)
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\DDH_$i.jpg", 1030, 61, 1267, 397)
sleep(500)
 
MouseMove(423,125,3)

Look at For...Next in the Helpfile.

jos thanks for steering me in the right direction my edits are about script saves files everytime with $i

[Ramzes]

You can use

For $i = 1 to 144
;code
Next

without 'Step 1'

To concatenating two strings you should use '&', i. e.:

@MyDocumentsDir & "\DDH_" & $i & ".jpg"

You can also create an array of mouse and screen positions to make your script simpler.

I recommend AutoIt Documentation.

ramzes you are an autoit god thanks now i know how to accomplish those two things if it arises in the future i will know!!

[somdcomputerguy]

Ramzes beat me to it with the same idea. I use code like this in one of my scripts. I have 10 images, hourglass1.ico -> hourglass10.ico.

For $i = 1 to 10
  TraySetIcon("hourglass" & $i & ".ico")
  Sleep(125)
Next

guys do thanks for the insight the script i have has only captured the screen for 3 images on a run through it i put the for loop at the begging and the next at the very end it does go through the mouse movements
