Where is the error?

I'm getting sometimes Errors executing this function. The code section, which is affected, is listed at the end of the post. The error happens directly after the CTRL+A, which is checkable on the screen. There were some popups which appeared, but i didn't noted them down, their meaning was something with the complex functions.

One of the errors was:
i does not appropriate

Code: Select all

 Let>HMIsearch=successfully downloaded
 SetFocus>Mozilla*
 //copy text to clipboard
 Press CTRL
 Send>a
 Wait>0.1
 Send>c
 Release CTRL
 //get the text from clipboard
 GetClipBoard>HMIwindow
 //Lower the string to prevent failures
 Let>HMIwindow={Lower(%HMIwindow%)}
 //Return the absolute position of the start of a substring in a string
 //position>KEYWORD,%STRING%,START_POSITION,RESULT_VARIABLE,XY
 //XY=FALSE=ABSOLUTE_RESULT XY=TRUE=RELATIVE TO START_POSITION
 //This is used to find a pattern to match, as a conversion from
 //the string to a value which can be used for an if-condition
 position>%HMIsearch%,%HMIwindow%,1,HMIstate,FALSE
 //Check if the keyword has not been found, then generate popup with failure report
 If>HMIstate=0,HMIerror

Hi,

The error is with the lower function. It will produce an error if the string contains a double quote mark (") as this identifies the end of a string. To avoid this you need to replace occurences of " with "" (double quote) so that it knows the quote should be part of the string, rather than indicating the end of a string.

So all you need to do is add this line just before the call to Lower:

StringReplace>HMIwindow,","",HMIwindow
Let>HMIwindow={Lower(%HMIwindow%)}

Thanks for the help. I will test the script over weekend and report, if it helped. The problem of the debugging is the runtime: 1hour and up per run...

You can debug that section of code quickly, and I was able to replicate the problem when on a web page that contained " marks. So I'm pretty sure that is it.

The problem is, I did not find any quotation marks in the pages. But anyway, at monday I can look at the results and if it worked, i'm happy

Twelfe runs were successfully, but the next one crashed again:
incorrectly formed parameters
i not appropriate

The source of the page displayed by mozilla 1.5 (not firefox) is:

I know, there is no timing problem, because the ctrl+a marks only the stuff which is there, and everything was marked.
