Image recognition help

fiend1182 · Post by **fiend1182** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 5:36 am

I need to create a macro that will click a button on a web page, then look for another specific button to appear. If the 2nd button appears I need to click it, if not I want to go back and click the original button and repeat from there.

I'm guessing the easiest way to do this would be with Image Recognition but I'm having a little trouble getting started.

I have a little but not much programming knowledge... Yes I am a n00b.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's pretty easy to do what you want to do with Image Recognition. Start with this article:

Thanks for the reply. That got me going in the right direction.

My new question is how do I send it back to click the original button if the second button is not found.

I basically need it to click button 1 until button 2 appears, once button 2 appears it needs to be clicked, then repeat.

Thanks

Use a loop. Use If and Goto to jump back to a label at the top of the script.

Thanks again for the help.

I still can't figure out how to click the button if it shows up and return to the top of the script if it doesn't.

If>imgs>0 (means if image shows up)

What means if image doesn't show up?

imgs would be 0
