Copying a variable content - (Moved)

[GianniTrattore]

Hi, I am trying to get a string from a variable I have saved, and be able to ctrl v it. I tried sending the string but I realized it just writes it really quick, but not instantaniously.

If I was not clear with my word. It's like I have the string written, I select it, and I ctrl C it, but withouth having to select and copy, just by getting from the variable

Hi, sorry for posting in the wrong place, I misinterpreted the section title.

The code's as follows:

#include <File.au3>

Func EndProgram()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>EndProgram
HotKeySet ( "1" , "EndProgram" )


Local Const $sFilePath = @path ;
Local $vLinks
_FileReadToArray ( $sFilePath, $vLinks )

Local $vLenLinks = UBound($vLinks)
Local $vLink

Local Const $UrlBarX = 800
Local Const $UrlBarY = 50


For $i = 5 To $vLenLinks
   $vLink = $vLinks[$i]
   MouseClick ( "left" , $UrlBarX, $UrlBarY  )
   sleep($Delay)
   Send ($vLink)
   sleep($Delay)
   Send ("{ENTER}")
Next

This is a part of the code. As you can see, I am trying to get a link and copy it on my browser, but the way I'm doing it, as I stated, is slow.

I want to have that Send($vLink) instantaneous, or at least faster than 200 ms.

GianniTrattore,

And why are you sending all these links - and why must each be sent within 200ms?

P.S. And just to be absolutely clear - this is the Mod team determining the legality of the thread, so everyone else please keep out.

Well it's not really mandatory to have it this quick, but I wanted to try and make a better performing program, since I'm not that good at programming.

For what I need it is actually not really illegal: I am trying to download a series that's stored on a site that has you go through 35 different pages in order to get to the actual file, and I have to download 50 episodes, so that would obviously be pretty tiring, so I tought I could try programming and getting an useful program. For context so I am more believable the site is filecrypt or easybytez. If you need more info I can give you them but it's not really anything fishy

[GianniTrattore]

Well, I went on and did it slowly, but my questions still stands, if you are willing to tell me id be really grateful.

[Melba23]

GianniTrattore,

I cannot see how sending each of  the various URLs in 200ms is going to increase your download speed as with 50-odd files your download speed is likely to be the bottleneck on the whole thing. But if you want to try be my guest.

Hi GianniTrattore,
As Melba23 didn't lock the thread then I guess advices can be given.

Send($vLink) is not instantaneous, you should try to replace it with :

ClipPut($vLink)
Send("^v") ; Ctrl+V, much faster than Send($vLink)

I noticed that when I faced a similar situation like yours (to automatically fill the adress bar with an URL)
Hope it will work for you.

[GianniTrattore]

Melba23, that's obviously not what I was aiming for, I just wanted to go through the clicking and more clicking quicker, so I don't have to have an unavailable pc for longer than needed.

pixelsearch, thanks a lot, that's what I was looking for👌👌
