Increase Number in a text box by 1

Post by fourbear » Mon Jul 02, 2007 6:10 pm

I am trying to make a macro that will type in a text box from 100 to 999 and then stop, can anyone tell me a simple way to do this.

Thank You!

You have to hold the ctrl key while typing the number then after release ctrl key. Also I wanted it to wait a short time before increasing to the next highest number. Kinda like scanning a series of numbers.
  • CapsOff
    Press CTRL
    Wait>0.01
    Send>100
    Wait>0.01
    Release CTRL
    Wait>10.00
    Press CTRL
    Wait>0.01
    Send>101
    Wait>0.01
    Release CTRL
    Wait>10.00
    Press CTRL
    Wait>0.01
    Send>102
    Wait>0.01
    Release CTRL
    Wait>10.00

Try using a repeat loop: Start with k=99, add 1 to k each time through the loop and send k as the text. do this until k reaches 999.

Code: Select all

CapsOff
Let>k=99
Repeat>k
  Add>k,1
  Press CTRL
  Wait>0.01
  Send>%k%
  Wait>0.01
  Release CTRL
  Wait>10.00
Until>k=999
