My many questions

[SuitUp]

Hello AutoIT Forums!

I have now for a few days coded with AutoIt, and I feel really good about it. It helps me with, among other things, school projects and just generally on the desktop.

I have received a lot of help, and I learn something new every day! I've made this thread to ask all my questions, so I don't have to make a new thread each time.

Questions as of 04-05-2013 [2]

Clicking a button with only a value and input type? [Not answered]

I have a button with this HTML Code:

<input type="submit" value="Continue">

I would like to make script that automaticly clicks on this button. How can i do so?

Use minutes instead of milliseconds? [Answered by OliverA]

Is it possible to use minutes for sleep (or anything that does the same) instead of writing the milliseconds?

For example:

While 1
Sleep(2min)
If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
WinKill("[CLASS:Notepad]")
EndIf
WEnd

Edit live HTML on IE webpage? [Researching]

Is it possible to edit the HTML of a IE page, without having to refresh it? Like if you would "inspect element" on Chrome and then edit it, it wouldn't require any refresh.

For example:

We have this button in HTML:

<input type="submit" value="Continue">

We would like to add an ID to it, so we can use the ObjGetId command. What would the autoit code be for this? (Heres the concept code)

Local $readHTML = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)
_IEDocWriteReplaceHTML ($readHTML, "<input type="submit" value="Continue">", "<input type="submit" ID="THENEWID" value="Continue">")

The code should look somewhat like this

#include <IE.au3>

$S_Link = ""
$oIE = _IECreate($S_Link, 0, 0) ;InVisible
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")

Local $oInput_Req

For $oInput In $oInputs

If $oInput.value = "Continue" And $oInput.id = $oInput.name And $oInput.type = "submit" Then

$oInput_Req = $oInput
ExitLoop

EndIf

Next

_IEAction($oInput_Req, "click")

It would be more helpful if you could give the link of the webpage and mention the usage of this script

SuitUp,

How about sticking to just the one thread at a time? I have now merged them - do not open a third.

Check this out - I'm assuming you know about Arrays, if not learn them first.

#include <Array.au3>

;Assuming the INI file to be "Test.ini" in the scriptdir. Let the Section name be "Grocery"
$aRead = IniReadSection("Test.ini", "Grocery")
;$aRead is a 2D array with $aRead[$i][1] = Value of key $i, where $i is any whole number.
;Make the Array 1D since _ArrayToString supports 1D Array and we are only interested in Col 1.
$aRead = Array2D_To1D($aRead, 1)

$String = _ArrayToString($aRead, "") ;Make the string from the 1D-Array
;We are only monitoring the values of the keys, if found we would execute the if statement

;Now here is the Regex
If StringRegExp($String, "Milk|Can|Chocolate|Grocery|Arla|Haribo|Sodavand|Kakao|Ketchup|Blandinger|Shop|Madkurven") Then
;....Your Functions go here
EndIf

Func Array2D_To1D($2DArray, $iCol)

$iUbound = UBound($2DArray)
Local $aRet[$iUbound]

For $i = 0 To $iUbound - 1
$aRet[$i] = $2DArray[$i][$iCol]
Next

Return $aRet
EndFunc ;==>2DArray_To1D

It's easy to make 200 question, it's better to read the help

Do you want to use minute instead of millisecond?

On the help of Sleep

5 second = 5000ms, so:

1 sec = 1000ms

60sec ( 1 minute is 60 sec... ) x 1000 = 60000

Math is not an opinion, so:

MinuteSleep(5)

Func MinuteSleep($delay)
Sleep($delay * 60000)
EndFunc

My questions are only asked, if i have searched for them first in the read. I couldn't manage to find anything to do with sleep in minutes, therefor i asked. Also I didn't ask for a explanation on how to multiply, i know that very well thank you.

I would like to thank you for posting the function tho, i didn't know you could use * inside Sleep.

Your IE questions have been answered already.

<IE.au3> has access functions for Internet Explorer.

Read up about it capabilities in the help file (the help file has working examples).

Google IE DOM and innerHtml for your how to adjust web content.

[OliverA]

You have search about ms in minute? I don't think, first result:

And really you don't know you can user operator in a variable or a function? Listen me, read the help you lack of basic kwoledge, then you can answer by yourself and if you can't the forum is here.

My question about clicking the button, does not work with the script PhoenixXL posted. I can't tell why, but i believe it's because there isn't enough information about the button, so that it can click it.

but thanks for the tips, will search right away :-)

SuitUp,

In future please do not delete the original questions and replace them with new ones.

Otherwise the responses you got to the first set make no sense to anyone reading this later - remember that this forum is a resource for others, not just you. Just open a new thread for each new set of questions.

@SuitUp ... have a real close look at the search results for "IE click" in the help file.

If you are unable to understand the IE click examples ... then there are people that may help you here.

Note: you need to have a basic understanding of the IE DOM ... otherwise all we will be doing is feeding you script which you will not be able to modify for your needs.
