You can use _ArrayDisplay($aArray) to view the array. Have you tried plugging your files in using the example script above?
EmilyLove Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Also, what are you trying to automate? I believe we could better help you if we better understood what you are trying to do.

I believe we could better help you if we better understood what you are trying to do. I m simply searching an image on desktop. say, recyclebin icon on screen. Aim : search that icon on screen and click on it to open it. thats it. I m sharing the Imagesearch.au3 file and MyScriptFile.au3 here, please have a look, and correct me where i am doing wrong ImageSearch.au3.au3 MyScript.au3
EmilyLove Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Immediately I noticed this 3 things 1. Do Sleep(300) Until _FindImage($sImgPath) You aren't checking if _FindImage() = 1 so your script exits the loop immediately after running _FindImage once. Change it to Do Sleep(300) Until _FindImage($sImgPath) = 1 2. MouseMove and MouseClick can be combined into one command. You want to use primary, not left click. Some users switch their left and right clicks and can be unreliable if you specify left or right. Use Primary or Secondary instead. Also, I assume you want to double click. In your script, you are telling it to left click once at x coordinate 2 and y at current mouse position. Try this instead: MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_PRIMARY, $x, $y, 2, 5) 3. You uploaded ImageSearch.au3.au3 but you script is trying to include ImageSearch.au3 (you have an extra .au3)
EmilyLove Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Also, if you are just trying to launch a program on the desktop, why not use ShellExecute() or Run()? They are much more reliable if you are just trying to find an icon the desktop to open it.

But i am trying to search an image on the screen , so that the same logic can be used for image search at a Browser or in any opened application also.
EmilyLove Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 There are much better ways to interact with browsers and opened applications. ImageSearch should be a last resort when all other methods have failed to work. I will ask again. What are you trying to automate?

EmilyLove Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yea I'm certain that there are better ways to do this besides ImageSearch. What website?

Celestial Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Hi, I am new to Autoit, may I ask who is developing this feature Image Search? Is it a built-in function or it a UDF (User Defined Function)? If it a UDF then who/where I should follow to update the latest version of Image Search? Thank you.
VandanaS Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 its not an inbuilt feature. I have one UDF for image search , which i got from Forum only, and i edited as per my requirement. But this code is working perfectly only for chrome browser. You can find out on forum. Check on page 4 on forum in the topic image search. you will find ImageSaerch2015 example . Download it and use it.
