AutoIt - automate your task

I’ve been playing around with AutoIt for quite some time. AutoIt is freeware BASIC-like scripting language for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.

For example, below code will run notepad and send some text to notepad.

Run(”notepad.exe”)
WinWaitActive(”Untitled - Notepad”)
Send(”This is some text.”)

this is some text

It’s easy to understand right ?

For my own use, I create a simple program to read a website (http://china232.libsyn.com/rss), grab only the mp3 link and download the file.

Skip the file that already been download base on filename.

Well, there are so many things can be done with AutoIt.

Good news is that, AutoIt can also run on Ubuntu. :)
