For the persons like me which are very much attached to technology, it is very difficult to remain away from technology for many petty tasks also. I remember when I was preparing laboratory for different events to be organized in our college fest, I had to reinstall same set softwares in 25 different computers each in 4 different labs. Following same routine for all the computers, it was just a boredom. I just swore to myself that from next time onwards, I will use such a method that will automate my work for such tasks.
Searching for so many days, I finally came across a good software which nearly solved my problem. AutoIt v3 is the software which can automate your work in no time.
AutoIt v3 is basically a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows graphical user interface and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages.
All the scripts can also be converted to executable format so that they can be executed on different set of pcs in no time. Over time, AutoIt has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.
Some noticeable features of this software:
Some Useful Websites for AutoIt:
Apart from the fact that the language is dead simple to learn, still there are bunch of scripts available on internet for various purpose. Ofcourse you can write your own script for a custom task which is not already designed. Some useful resources are:
AutoIt Forums
AutoIt Scripts
So what's next:
So what can you use this for? You can use this software to automate an installation program, for example, of Winzip. The script in turn can be compiled into an executable and distributed to a bunch of PCs that do not have AutoIT installed, and then the installation can go through automatically. Another example of use would be automation of a common task, for example entering your stocks into Yahoo! Finance and getting there results. AutoIT also has file functions, can use the clipboard, and the environment variables so the option of automating data-entry from one application to another is possible. I have designed various Bots and Forum Posters in different forums using this same software only. The possibilities are endless.
