Creating a bot

[MZohaibAkhter]

Is it legal to ask for help in creating a bot which does not contain virus and does not spam pc and works for only my internet browser? If yes, Then what is the section to post the question?

Just analyse it, whether it will be considered as tweak or hack...

If its a tweak it is allowed here, but not when its a hack...

Just wait for mods or raymond to give their permission...

If they permit it, then it could be posted in general forum...

I think you can do that with Macro and it's legal.

I'm trying to understand AutoIt 3.0 since last 2 days but its very typical. I want my script to type "0001" and press enter in google search text box, then "0002", then "0003", then "0004" to "9999". What could be the script of that? Kindly help.

I am not a expert in AutoIt but i have done some scripting like making automatic installation of Office 2003 without any inputs or clicking. First you have to understand the basic and try to code a small program and use autoit windows info tool which gives you important information which is required for your script.

I tried Raymond's article & found Macro Express Pro very useful due to its GUI Interface. I want to work on it but still confused. Ray, plz help! I know you can.

I am not a mind reader.
I don't even know what do you want to do with Macro Express, how can I help you?

OK, I want my macro to:
Automatically click on Google search box and type "0001" & press Enter. Take 5 secs delay. Then type "0002" & press Enter. Again 5 secs delay. Then type "0003" & Press Enter.
This process should be repeated until it reaches to the value "9999".
I did some work on Macro Express Pro & wrote some code. I think I am kinda successful because my macro can type from 1 to 9999 & take delay but I don't know how to automatically click on Google search box automatically. Seems like I'll have to assign some variable & specify mouse X & Y axis. Now, i need a little help, I want Google search box to be clicked automatically. Macro Express Pro project file is packed & attached with the post.
Kindly Help.
Thanks.

Well if your looking for a method to search by numeric count under a google search what you can use also is "Downthemall" for Firefox and click on add url and paste the following

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=[0000:9999]&meta=&aq=f&oq=

And set downthemall to auto rename this will make all the html files incremented.

or you can use macromaker and use the shortcut key "Alt-D" in IE to get to the address bar to paste a new address...

If I could have a bit more details I might be able to setup the script for you in AutoIT or Macromaker.

Edit: As for the submit button you can always sendkeys the [enter key] to get the google page.

Most fun I had with a macro script was transfering a million receipes from one database to another using cut-paste and switch program
