Suan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi Autoit Experts,I have this requirement where I would like to read from Text Area and later update the Text Area and all this while I have only been able to do it using the IE functions _IEPropertyGet and _IEPropertySet. Is there a way I can achieve the same functionality without having to depend on IE. Reason is that we would have to run our code on Apple Mac books as well.Thanks upfront.Suan.

trancexx Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If you run Windows on Mac then IE would be working too.AutoIt can be run on Windows only, you know that? Suan 1 ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suan Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi Trancexx,Thanks for the response. Assuming that, there will be no Windows on the Mac, would you recommend what would be the alternatives.For eg. is there a script similar to Autoit which is independent of the OS? Need your suggestions.Regards,Suan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suan Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi JohnOne,I am interested in a scripting language which can run both on Windows PC and Macbooks. We would be developing on using Windows systems and then ultimate users should be able to run it using Macbooks or Windows PCs.Any thoughts?Regards,Saun.

AutID Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Java, you only need to compile it and it will run on any OS... or C languages but then you will have to compile them on each OS. https://iblockify.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I don't think there is a scripting language for both platforms.I'm not sure Java qualifies as a scripting language.

Suan Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 So, do you mean that, any AutoIt will not run on Macbooks? For example, let say my code does not reference any IE functions and wherever it requires one, will use the Chrome functions. And I deploy my code and created an executable file. Will this file run on Macbooks??Regards,Suan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 No, it won't work on Macs, at least a Mac running OSX, it's as simple as that. Suan 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Suan Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Okay, my final question, back to the basic question. If I want to make my AutoIt script browser independent for example, functions like _IEPropertyGet and _IEPropertySet, is there a way of achieving it? My code involves opening a window, (logged in after providing user id and password) get some texts from Text Area and log into another application and update another Text Area. Is there a browser independent way of doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancexx Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yes, there is. You can use WinHttp.au3 UDF or utilize several UDFs recently written by brilliant forum member Ward. Go through examples forum. Suan 1 ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
