Submit a series of URLs with Autohotkey

[pvb]

Is there a way to crawl a series of URLs whereby Autohotkey can go down a list of URLs, submit them into the address bar? I want to take a list of around 100 URLs and use a hotkey to submit each one by using a hotkey to trigger the submission but then get the next URL in the sequence with another hotkey etc.

Is there a script for this or one I can modify?

Code: Select all

i := 1
URLs := ["first", "second", "third"]

$q::Send % URLs[i]
$w::(++i > URLs.Count()) ? --i
$e::(--i < 1) ? ++i

w/e to go up/down the list

Thank you for the script. I tried this out but I am getting an error on line 2. The program is giving me an "illegal character" error. A sample of the syntax I am using is:

URLs := ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/xxx", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/yyy", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/zzz" ]

I tried with and without quotes and got the same error. Please advise.

I cannot reproduce your problem with the code line you provided (yes, strings need quotation marks around them, in this case). Did swagfag's original script work for you?

Which AHK version are you running?
Try running a recent AHK version, if you haven't done already.

Bear in mind these are dummy links for purposes of the forum. See attachment photo with real links and the error to see if my syntax is flawed.

I am running Version 1.0.48.05

Is that the issue you think?

Thx,

I am running Version 1.0.48.05

Is that the issue you think?

Yes, that is an ancient version (from 2009) which doesn't support arrays.

OK. Thank you.
The main reason I have not upgraded has to do with the use of Autoscript writer. I upgraded on another computer and found that it had been discontinued.

Just copy scriptwriter.exe or whatever its called to your new computer and it will work but there are better solutions now:
1) macrocreator https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=63 - elaborate
2) and https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34184 - more compact

I solved the error by upgrading the version.

How do I run the script?

[gregster]

Well, there are hotkeys in the script, like in AutoHotkey

q to send
w/e to go up/down the list

[pvb]

gregster, thank you. I see that in the script. The "$" is what is throwing me off.
