Entering text into a form from a txt file.... text is truncated?

[diamondrail]

I have used the "sendtext" function to add text to a field on a website, however, I noticed the text file is not completely added despite the web form having space. Only 5 % of the text gets added. I even added a significant delay to ensure that the text function had sufficient time to input the text...
any help is appreciated.

Amount of text in file: approx. 100 words
type of file on desktop: txt file.

Have you added delay inn the send text command (I.e. key delay)?

Please elaborate. Thank you.

I figured it out and it worked.

Added the line:

Let>SK_Delay=25
before the
SendText>myText2 line

SOLVED.

I have another workaround for you on this.

Sometimes the performance of the target app can be a real issue. I've seen apps or forms that wouldn't accept all the characters unless SK_delay was in the region of 400.

This is a problem when some web forms won't accept the usual methods of using any Macro Scheduler Native IE function, so it has to be typed text

In these cases I use PutClipboard to put the data into the the clipboard, and then use CTRL-V to paste it. This allowed me to type very long string in a fraction of a second. Of course, you still have to make the script click in the right place, unlike using the IE commands, so this is only for those instances when we need to send text.

I used Gosub to reduce repetition.

It went something like this :

Code: Select all

//Pseudo get data code
XLGetCell>XLBookHandle,SheetName,Row,Col,Result

//Put it in the clipboard
Put>Result

//Click in the desired location (use whatever method suits the scenario
MouseMove>100,100
lClick
Wait>0.1

Gosub>Paste

SRT>Paste
Press CTRL
Wait>0.05
Send>V
Wait>0.05
Release CTRL
END>Paste

*All "waits" in the above script can be edited or omitted. Trial and error -sometimes we need them, sometimes we don't.
