How do I type text from a list into a field?

I am using the ui command "open file" so the user can choose a list topic.txt

I then want to "type text" into a field from the list one item at a time.

I get the following message when I "type text"


"Warning you have exceeded the range of the list"

(see attached)

Did you add list to list first? I don't see that in the screenshots...

Then use whatever variable your open file is set as, as the list to add?

yeah that is what I thought, but I am not having any luck. Probably just something simple. I will probably figure it out after a nap.

If you want to post up a little of what you got, I will be more than happy to help you.

Thanks!

I set-up a little test loop. (see attached)

ui open file("test:", #test)
loop(2) {
add list to list(%testing, %test, "Delete", "Global")
type text(<name="text0">, $next list item(%testing), "Standard")
}

Here you go:

ui open file("test:", #test)
add list to list(%testing, $list from file(#test), "Delete", "Global")
loop(2) {
type text(<name="text0">, $next list item(%testing), "Standard")
}

You left out $list from file when you were adding list to list.

I also moved the add list to list outside of the loop.

HTH,

That has something to do with the format of your file.

Is it in standard UTF format?

.txt file

[a2mateit]

What is it encoded with?

Does it have foreign characters?

Try restarting your bot and trying again...

Working perfectly fine on my end.

[AutomationNinja]

weird. it is still doing it. not sure about encoding; i just typed regular words into a .txt file.

What is the website that you are typing text into... And the specific field?

That might be the culprit.

[AutomationNinja]

well I was doing this in aweber, but I thought that might of been the problem as well so I tried the search field in google with the same results.


I don't know if it could have anything to do with windows (Is that even a possibility?). I created a file a file on a mac and brought that into windows but same result.


I am kinda stumped on this one.

Not sure whats going on here...

Working fine on my end.
