Save as Dialog Box

[Jdenning]

I have a task that involves saving a file via a standard save as dialog box. How would I enter a path to save to? Capturing mouse actions is not an option as objects in the path will change regularly and the desired folder won't always be in the same place.

Use 'Manage Window Actions' to capture the 'save to' field and enter the path. If the path changes based on some instance in the task then save that info to a variable and set the 'save to' path to include that variable.

Thanks for the reply. I am using AA 5.5 Standard and in the Task Editor I do not see 'Manage Window Actions'. Is this feature available in the standard version or am I looking in the wrong place?

Hello,

Manage Windows Control command is available in Premier and higher versions of Automaton Anywhere.

In case you are using Standard version, use 'Insert Keystrokes' command to get focus on Filename Field and then you can specify the file path using Keystrokes. Also, for errorless execution of command, provide delay after every Keystroke action. The text format of task would appear something like this,

Keystrokes: [ALT DOWN]f[ALT UP] in "Save As"
Delay: (300 ms)
Keystrokes: C:\sample.txt[ENTER] in "Save As"
Delay: (300 ms)

Hope that helps.
