Command doesn't work

[floker]

hi,

I'm a newbee on this forum and i'm using AutoIt for only a week.

I have to make some scripts at work.

I'v downloaded AutoIt from the official site and I make my scripts with ScITE.

But I have some problems, there are some commands that don't work.

For example I have this in my script :

Repeat, 11

Send("{down}{SPACE}")

sleep(200)

EndRepeat

When I trey to run my script I get an error :

Repeat, 11

^ ERROR

Error : error parsing function call

I have this error also with other commands. It's like some commands are not recognized by the compiler

Can someone tell me why?

thx

Hi Repeat command doesnt exist at all

Try this:

while 1

Send("{down}{SPACE}")

sleep(200)

wend

I can't remember where but I'v found a quick reference quide for AutoIt. There it was mentioned that Repeat is also a command. But thx for your help, I'll try with a while loop

Repeat is not a command. Try this

While 1 ; Continous Loop
For $i = 1 to 11 ; Do something till 1 = 11
    Send("{down}{SPACE}") ; Send down and Space
    sleep(200) ; Sleep 
Next ; Re-do making $i = 2
Exit ; Exit after it has done something 11 times
Wend ; Finish the loop

Edit: Repeat was a command in V2

I still have a little question.

i would like to make a script to automate the installation of some programs.

the problem is :

for example, during the installation I get a window where I have to put in my organisation and my serial number. So I have something like that :

Send("myOrganisation")

sleep(200)

Send("{TAB}")

sleep(200)

Send("mySerialNumber")

Send("{ENTER}")

but when I delete the program and run my script again, my organisation is already filled in and the focus is set to the field where I have to put my serial number in. It meens that the name of my oranisation is filled in instead of my serial number.

Can someone help me?

Hmm, You could make it press Tab untill it gets back to the right control.

that was my first tought, but then I have to make two scripts, one for the first install and one for the second time people want to install it again... this seems a little crazy for me and I hope there is another solution

Not really, use If and EndIf statements to read if a text is in the box.
