Is there a way to automate keyboard editing?
Yes I know I can write a program that will parse the text file to do the automation, however using an automation software is faster.
Is there a tool that can record keyboard strokes and "play" them again so i don't have to edit the same thing 5 times , and just do it once and run it 5 times.
simple example
more coade
more coaade
more coe3ade
change to
more code
more code
more code
where the marker is set to the first position of the second word in the line and retype it after deleting it.
Edit: its simple, is there a software to macro keyboard key presses?
Notepad++ will assist you when editing text like this. You can either:
1) Use a regular expression to do a string replacement

2) Record a macro and play it back several times.
To do so. Go to: Macro > Start Recording
Use the keyboard to make your changes in a way that it is repeatable
Go back to Macro > Stop recording
Play back your macro as much as you like
Although personally, I'd write a script in AutoIt or similar. That's probably the easiest thing to do if you have some programming skills.

I'm working with a Bloomberg data sheet and I need to export this sheet into Excel. The only way of doing so is through clicking the "export" button in the Bloomberg window. Is there any way to use code to accomplish this click. I would appreciate help with 1) indicating which coding language should be used 2) the physical code syntax that can accomplish my goal
I've tried using VBA, but there is no automatic control of the mouse.
There are two alternatives you may use to simulate mouse and keyboard automation on Windows platform.
AutoHotKey
AutoIT
I would personally recommend using AutoHotKey. It has a very extensive documentation and a fairly active community.
Additionally, please try to use keyboard shortcuts (E.g Alt+F) instead of mouse movements. If you're using keyboard shortcuts, you'll be less prone to unwanted behaviour.
Extra: If you have a web application, you may use Selenium. It works neatly with Java or Python.

Any suggestion can be useful
On windows 10.
I need to automate the repeated process of these steps.
1. Open up an image in GIMP. Scale it to 110%.
2. Export as somefile name(for example input001.jpg).
3. Go to http://deepdreamgenerator.com/ in a browser. click on button, browse to the exported file.
4. Wait for it to generate result, save image as result file (for example dream001.jpg).
then repeat from step 1 with the result file from step 4...but keep increasing the filename number so export it as input002.jpg...
What software would allow me to do this?
the only software i know of that * MIGHT * be able to automate that process is AutoHotKey
You would need to keep the windows which you're automating static (ie. make sure they don't move) and then write keyboard and mouse macros in autohotkey to press the buttons and do the things you want.
I tried AutoHotKey but didn't feel like learning a whole new scripting language so I found something simpler called GhostMouse.
It just has record,play,stop buttons.
after recording and closing out of program it asks if i want to save script. clicked yes gave it a name, and then edited the script file..and copied and pasted as many times as i wanted the script to run (before copying and pasting i deleted the last 3 lines which has to do with clicking the stop button which i didn't want the script to do).
You can also try Sikuli for same. It's an image comparator

im not sure if its the right place to put my question, but i think maybe get an answer here.
the last few days thinking about a way to make μυ work easier.
What I want is to write by hand and convert into text on the computer.
namely when I am on a page with multiple text forms like this im writing now,
when i choose a text form with a pen (like wacom graphic tablet) write on a surface and the automaticaly when i stop or pressing a button the text turn into text in the form.
my title say about wacom because i found bamboo scribe.. if someone uses this please explain me whats can do and if can work for me.
i test myscript. with fullscreen tool wich you can write everywhere on the screen is easiest but when you finish you have to press a button on the program to insert the text in the selected area.
so my question is there any way to press that button with the button placed on stylus pen?
i saw that you can set functions when a button clicked on the wacom tablet or on pen.
i have not bought yet anything because im searching if is out there anything could do what i want better. something made for that particular job
Thanks and sorry for my bad english..
I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.
What I am trying to do is:
Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard
Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office)
Emulate key-press Enter
Paste text and hit Enter again
Emulate key-press Ctrl and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top).
Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy)
Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot
Repeat for next text in database.
I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.
use http://www.autohotkey.com/
write a console app to get the value from the database
1 - get autohotkey to run the console app and put the return into the clipboard
then continue as described in your list.
