    A Windows 10 script do the following??


    I have Windows 10 and Linus Ubuntu 18.4

    I have a very big file on a remote computer accessible only via the Internet. I can not just down load the file, but have to copy and paste onto my PC in a word processing program.

    I have not done any .bat files nor scripting in maybe 35 years.

    To get to the data in the file I have have the file in a web browser and do mouse clicks on a word named More to advance to the next page of text.
    Within longer passages of a subject, a comment, I have to mouse click on the phrase See More. Last year a fellow gave me two java scripts to run in the console that contains my open file of data to try and find and mouse click on those two phrases, but they didn't work. They didn't work and I think it was because of the host computer dropping the connection often and freezing the display of the text.

    I am not a programmer except for being self taught html when I created an Intranet for distributing world wide medical info and teaching how to use new sort ware packages my organization bought for staff use.

    Is there a possibility of writing a script, shell script, bat file, whatever they are called now that would run in the console on the open file and look for and when found, mouse click on the words from the top of file to the end of file?

    I've gone through 6 different web browsers and found that EDGE seems to handle the dropping of the connection and the resultant error message of "error-connection-retrying" and continuing on from that spot when the connection is reestablished.

    If anyone needs to see a clip to the text file when the word More and he words See More are located, I'll post several examples.

    If this is impossible to do just let me know.

    Thanks

    There is a program language that free called auto it and it lets you create scripts or even exe files the clever bit is that they have a screen recorder so you can download your file manually record it and then it writes the scripts for you. AutoIt Downloads - AutoIt

    Thanks Samuria


    Yes, I have that down loaded, but I've not been able to figure out how to use it.

    I guess I need to take one day and study it until I figure it out and see if it will work.

    Thanks for the reminded.
