Script to repeat x time

Post by dutaun » Sun Jul 10, 2011 10:07 am

Hi All,

First of all sorry for the terms used in this post, I am not the greatest scripter.

What I am trying to do is have a dialog input to repeat an action x amount of times. I have tried looking through the forums for hours!!! but I am either blind or stupid or both. Below is the code that I am trying to repeat.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>7.36
MouseMove>217,184
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>2.61
MouseMove>217,184
wait>1
MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp 
ps. oh and if the code looks old, this is because my work is using Version 6 of Macro scheduler on the most part.

Hi dutaun,
Put this code between "Repeat ... Until" command :

Code: Select all

Let>k=0
Repeat>k
MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>7.36
MouseMove>217,184
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>2.61
MouseMove>217,184
wait>1
MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Let>k=k+1
Until>k,x
k is a counter. x is the number of times you want to repeat the code.

Hi Okapi,

Thanks for the code improvement!

But alas as my company is using MSched Ver 6.0 the repeat function is not working, is there another way to do this?

I think this will work under v6

Code: Select all

Let>k=0
Label>Repeat
MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>7.36
MouseMove>217,184
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Wait>2.61
MouseMove>217,184
wait>1
MouseMove>251,191
LDown
Wait>0.09
LUp
Let>k=k+1
If>k<x,Repeat
