How to automate a repetitive task with variable data?

[AMA]

Hi - Just bought the Macro Pro/Launch-n-Go package, am wanting to do the following, so pls let me know how to do, or which of your software packages I need...

* Want to pop up several of same type windows...

* Enter data into same spot of each relative window.

* The data entered will be different each time, but always alpha characters.

* Hit a button, retrieve info into the window(same format, but different retrieved data for each window).

* Hit another button, save the retrieved alpha-numeric data to disk. Each 'save' will have a different filename.

Read your forums, it would appear there's no way for me to build a text file with all of the commands and have that input into Macro Pro(would be nice for the next version of Macro Pro, wouldn't it?).

Is there, by chance, a way for me to do some kind of cut/paste into the Edit/'Macro Actions List' text window, as if I were manually entering the commands myself to be executed?

If so, what are the length limitations of commands for a Macro Pro file?

Other ideas?

Fairly simple task, but I need to repeat it many, many times, each time with same format/different data, and save the results to unique filename files on my hard drive.

Thx...

Hello,

Looking at your requirement, we would suggest try using our advanced automation product, Automation Anywhere 5.5.1, which provides 'Loop' command to repeat the same set of actions required number of times. Also, it provides variable support. Using variables different data can be processed in each iteration of loop and you can save the results with unique file names as well.

If you are working with Windows application then you can use 'Manage Windows Control' command, found under 'Programs/Files/Windows' category. Using this command you can work with windows controls like textbox, drop-down, Check Box, Tree View, Command Button, List Box, Radio Button and Status Bar. Using 'Get Text' option of MWC you can extract text that cannot be selected and copied using standard clipboard operations. When you use MWC, not only your task is independent of screen coordinates and screen resolution, but it can also run in background.

You can download free trial version of Automation Anywhere 5.5.1 from our website:
Automation Anywhere - The Leader in Automation Software

To get started easily, you can view the demo on Automation Anywhere usage, at Automation Anywhere - Learning Center

In addition, there are many online sample tasks available at Automation Anywhere Examples - The Automation Software

We also have a manual for Automation Anywhere. For that, please refer the AAUserManual.pdf link given below:

Hope that helps.
