Pulling Data From Excel into DOS like program

14 Aug 2018, 13:02

Hi got quick question. I'm trying to get an app that will allow me to GET DATA FROM AN EXCEL FILE INTO DOS LIKE PROGRAM. I have tried using auto clicking program however it works for one line and then it struggles to do another line/row.
I used ahk once and it was great but it was very simple, so just wondering if what I have just explained is possible in ahk.

So lets say I have a table in excel with following columns : part number, lot number, Customer lot, quantity, customer batch, pallet number, destination and example would look like : 0110032, 43252345, 43252345, 120, 42-2443502-32, 143243552, INBOUND01

Now the DOS like program that we are using basically needs user input but it works like following:

1.
We need to press F3 to generate a number and then enter to confirm.

2.
Now it will need the data from the EXCEL starting from the first column so part number which in this case is : 0110032

3.
It will display new line which needs us to press ENTER.

4.
Now it needs to paste second column : lot number

5.
Now it needs to paste third column : customer lot

6.
It will display new line and ask to press enter.

7.
Paste : Quantity

8.
Press Enter

9.
Paste : Customer batch

10.
Paste : Pallet number

11.
Press Enter

12.
Press : Y

13.
Press : 2

14.
Paste : Destination


15. And now the most important bit which I can not replicate on the auto clicker, which is to go down a row in the EXCEL file and just do it again, until no more rows / records found in excel.
Can you please help ?
