Adding An Extra Tab Keypress With Each Full Macro Loop

[grigori]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there was a way to do the following:

Record Macro and play it:

1st Run

Move Mouse
Click and Drag Mouse to Select Text
CTRL+C to Copy
Move Mouse
Click on Table
Press TAB to go to Next Link
Press Enter to Load It (Iframe window)

2nd Run

Move Mouse
Click and Drag Mouse to Select Text
CTRL+C to Copy
Move Mouse
Click on Table
Press TAB 2 Times to go to Next Link
Press Enter to Load It (Iframe window)

3rd Run

Move Mouse
Click and Drag Mouse to Select Text
CTRL+C to Copy
Move Mouse
Click on Table
Press TAB 3 Times to go to Next Link
Press Enter to Load It (Iframe window)

So with each loop of the full macro it adds one Tab Press to move down the list (The Reason for this is when focus leaves and re-enters the table with the links, the very_first link gets selected again).

Thank you in advanced for your help.

Regards

Hello

You need to declare a variable to control a loop and do conditional jumps. This will become quite slow if there are many cells in your table. Are you sure you need to start at the beginning of the table every time?

Hi Grigori,

Here is the code I would use to do what you have asked but yes I agree with Phil, it sounds like there might be a better way of doing this.

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::0
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::1
* | LOOP
2 | X | X | 1000 | Mouse Movement
3 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click Down
4 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click Release
5 | X | X | 1000 | Mouse Movement
6 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click
3 | FOR | I | = | %INTEGER% TO %INTEGER1% | NEXT
7 | X | X | 1000 | Keypress tab
5 | FOR | NEXT
8 | X | X | 1000 | Keypress enter
7 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::+1
8 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | GREATER THAN | 3 | STOP
10 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | LOOP
 
You will need to change the X | X on the mouse movement and click lines to the X and Y of where you want your mouse,
All "1000" on code are the time values you can change and I put in a loop stop function "3" that you can change to how many times you want this to loop.
I did try the end of line loop function over the FOR but it couldn't use %INTEGER% as the loop count.

Sorry looks like I did it wrong first time I tried, you can use end of line loop with %INTEGER%.
1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::1
* | LOOP
2 | X | X | 1000 | Mouse Movement
3 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click Down
4 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click Release
5 | X | X | 1000 | Mouse Movement
6 | X | X | 1000 | Left Click
7 | X | X | 1000 | Keypress tab | loop %INTEGER%::100
8 | X | X | 1000 | Keypress enter
9 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
10 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | GREATER THAN | 3 | STOP
11 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | LOOP
Thinking further on a better way to do this, could you windows tab or windows select to the table and just use a down arrow key to move to next line?
