Send variable stuck

[romnem]

Hi, I'm using a script that needs to print (save as PDF) tons of pages. However, when the "Save as" window appears and I send the file name (which is an incremental number under the variable num) instead of let's say 145, it gets stuck in 14, it press enter and therefore an alert message of overwritting an existing file appears.

I've tried with several wait options, send and sendText, num=num+1, Add>num,1... and I've checked debugging that the num counter is working , but I dont know why it gets stuck at writting the file name.

Code: Select all

ResizeWindow>Guardar impresión como,1800,1080
Wait>0.5
Send>num
Wait>0.5
Press Enter
...more code...
Add>num,1

Do you guys know how I could fix this? I have to save the order of 80.000 pages and having to stop every 30/40 is a nightmare.

This is most likely timing. Maybe slow down the sendkey speed (adjust timings as required)...

Code: Select all

//Wait 100 milliseconds between keystrokes
let>sk_delay=100
Send>num

Or put num into the clipboard and paste it instead of sending (good for long text strings)

Code: Select all

Putclipboard>num
wait>0.1
press ctrl
wait>0.1
send>v
wait>0.1
release ctrl

.... instead of repeating the 0.1 second Waits above, you could instead use step_delay to wait 100 milliseconds between steps ...

Code: Select all

let>step_delay=100
Putclipboard>num
press ctrl
send>v
release ctrl
