Question Different keystrokes in each loop?

I need my macro to "type" different names in each loop iteration.
I thinks this is a common need but I just can't figure out how to do it.

I tried to make my macro copy-and-paste the names from the notepad to the application, but the problem is that this application I'm dealing with dont accept pasting...

Thats why I need "variable" keystrokes or be able to create a list of keystrokes to be typed by the macro in each different loop.

Thats my problem. Theres any way to do it? Workspace Macro Pro gives me this type of powerfull tool?

Hello,

Looking at your requirement, try using our advanced automation product, Automation Anywhere 5.0 that do provides variable support.

Automation Anywhere provides you with a list of predefined variables called System Variables. You can also create your variables under User Variables (under Tools->Variable Manager) and assign the values. You can use your variable in any number of tasks.

Automation Anywhere lets you use your variables in several actions like Keystrokes, Open Programs/Files, Files/Folders, Insert Prompt, etc. Automation Anywhere always puts the variables between the ‘$’ signs for e.g. $Your-Variable$. The ‘$’ sign before and after the variable name informs Automation Anywhere to treat the text in between the ‘$’ signs as variable and not treat it as any other text. During the execution of the task, Automation Anywhere replaces the variable name with the actual value of the variable.

You can view following demo, which will help you understand, how to use variables in task. http://www.tethyssolutions.com/AAVariables.html

You can download free version of Automation Anywhere 5.5 from our website:
Automation Anywhere - The Leading Automation Software

Hope that helps.
