Move to next tab on each repeat

lisabo · April 16, 2023, 9:19pm

Hi guys. I’m trying to write a script that goes through multiple open tabs, one by one, and searches for a form to fill. My problem is, it doesn’t go further than tab 1. If I have 10 tabs open, I want the script to go one-by-one, through each tab until it finds the form and it fills it. Is that possible? Sorry. I’m new to this

Here’s my current code that doesn’t work as intended.

If I understand correctly, I’m showing how to do a selectwindow loop and maybe you can try to merge it to your macro.

{
  "Name": "test",
  "CreationDate": "2023-4-17",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "1",
      "Value": "num",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "while",
      "Target": "${num} <= 10",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "selectWindow",
      "Target": "tab=${num}",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript",
      "Target": "return Number(${num}) + 1",
      "Value": "num",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "end",
      "Target": "",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    }
  ]
}

Thanks for your replay. I tried it, but the loop has an end, and I have an if statement in my script as well.

freddie_zhou · April 17, 2023, 3:36am

I’m not sure if I understand. You want to

find the form you want to fill in 10 tabs.
fill the form.

Correct?

Then maybe what you need to do is

use the while loop I provided before to create a macro to find the correct form in 10 tabs.
create a macro to fill the form.
embed step 2 to step 1.

A simple reference:

It actually worked. It didn’t work first, buy I did some changes to my own macro and it worked. Your script worked flawlesly. Thank you very much!

How could I implement the same script multiple times? For example: I have 20 open tabs, and I have 3 forms to fill, how can I ensure the script continues to search and fill the other tabs once it fills the first one?

Thanks a lot.

If you are filling the same content, you can just remove the break statement so it doesn’t break the loop after finishing. And change the condition of the while loop to <=20. By doing that, the macro will loop 20 tabs and fill every form when the IF condition is true.

But if you want to fill 3 different type of form, the simple way I can think of is to create 3 While loop in one macro. Each While loop should fill one type of form.
