First Time with Automation

[hbelouf]

I am looking to automate a process that I do not want to do over and over again.

1. Start Program
2. Open File (This would be a variable, This will keep changing.)
3. Choose "Ask for Compression algorithm"
4. Click "Convert Button"
5. Then a Save As Window opens, Which I type in the name and then Click Save. (This be a variable, This will keep changing.)
6. Then another Window opens which will allow me to choose Video Compression from the drop down window. Then Click OK.
7. Then another window open which shows the progress bar of the process done. (I would like automate to wait for this progress window to close before moving on to the next step.)
8. After It completes it says Complete.
9. Then Click Exit to end program.

This is a very Windows 98SE old progran which the programmer does not anymore.

I am new to automation, since this this the only route to do this since I do not want to reapeat this 60000 times. I would like to get any insights that anyone would have to accomplishing this.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello hbelouf,

Your requirement can be easily achieved with Automation Anywhere software.

You can record the whole process with the help of advanced recorder of Automation Anywhere which will play back the process according to the trigger set or the conditions set by you or you can even create the task using commands like "Open Program file" and "Manage Windows control" which will capture the application controls according to your requirement and will run the same process in the form of a task. Then You can loop the task using the "loop" command by setting up the conditions.
