RoboTask forum

Hi,
I'm using Robotask for the first time and am really struggling to understand how to get it to perform the following simple task.
1) Open a webpage (I have managed this one)
2) Find a specific link (no joy)
3) Click on a specific link (no joy)
4) Repeat the process (not tried but without the above two it is pretty pointless!)
Hopefully this is relatively simple and someone can help me out on this.

Thanks
Alex
 
 

Now RoboTask can't control web browser directly and analyze pages. We plan to include into RoboTask plugin for web browser in future.
You can try mouse and keyboard actions, but they are very unreliable for web pages.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply.
I have managed to highlight the hyperlink text of the link I want on the page and thought I could insert this within the 'Control Text' of the mouse 'Move to Object' window.  I have tried it but it doesn't seem to accept it.  Is this what this function is for?
Thanks
Alex

You may want to try Internet Macros http://www.iopus.com
They have a free trial.

"Move to object" action designed for GUI forms of applications (main forms, dialogs etc.). Web page is a single object of web browser's form. Web links on page is an element of web document but is not an object of operating system.

Try checking out Newbie at www.newbielabs.com. It has a built in IDE to create Pascal scripts to automate web page navigation.
