Possible to repeat the same task but change one variable a field?

Asked by Bear

I have a task that i wish to make things a bit easier. My task is simple I usually have a list of #'s in a text file and I have to click 5 things on the windows app after i enter in each number. I was wondering if its possible for Sikuli to Read a .txt file and enter in the first number on the list click 5 things for me then read and enter the next number then click 5 things again.

Text file # example
123131231
123123131
231312318
123123123
231231678

Task
Sikuli reads text file pulls up first # > Enters it in a program field > Click 5 menu thing in the program > reads the text file again pulls the next #

Thanks

Sure it is.

Here is demo-code.
______
print sys.path[0]
# Prints to console the directory script was launched in

f1 = open(sys.path[0] + '\\5lines.txt', 'r')
# Reads a file

strings = f1.readlines()

f1.close()

for line in strings:
    popup(line)
    #put your code here
_______

To demo it, create a Sikuli file with code like above, and text file with name 5lines.txt in the same directory with the lines you need
_____
First
Second
Third
Fourth
Fifth
______

After running this, I see 5 popups with strings from the text file.

You can put any code where popup(line) is now, and that code, be it clicking or whatever, will run as many times as there are lines in file, 5 times for 5 lines, 6 for 6 lines, etc.
