The setup is this one.
Open a website (copy paste a address from excel) : works
Wait 15 sec
When the website is full upload : if exist IMG1
wait(15)
if exists("1659164033710.png"):
type(Key.F4, KeyModifier.CTRL)
wait(1)
click("1658632157862.png")
wait(1)
type(Key.ESC)
type(Key.RIGHT)
type("No Whats app")
type(Key.LEFT)
And the else
else:
wait(Pattern("1659162006361.png").similar(0.9),60)
click("1659162046416.png")
wait(1)
click("1658633634920.png")
wait(1)
type(Key.RIGHT)
Most of the case are else, so I want to win time on the execution of the bot and put the else to the IF with the wait(Pattern) but don't works.
Thanks for your help

I am creating a little data processing script using selenium. Where I input my values and it runs a function to do the task on a website. I would like to queue inputs so that I can enter the new values while it works on the old ones.
while customername != 1:
print("Customer name")
customername = input()
print("Credit amount")
creditamount = input()
addcredit(driver, customername, creditamount)
How would I get the function addcredit() to run while the loop continues and asks me for the next set of inputs?
Thank you all!
So after a bit more research, I used Threading.
p1 = threading.Thread(target=addcredit, args=(driver, customername, creditamount))
p1.start()
this is allowing my script to run as intended.. where it starts the action and then allows me to type more data in to run the action again. from my understanding when the function called in the second thread sleeps it bounces back to the first thread and continues on. someone, please correct me if I am wrong.
I am an R programmer who unfortunately has no experience in web development or anything related, so this could be a very basic question.
I would like to know whether it's possible to create a website where user input triggers some piece of R code to run. Let's use a trivial example:
I have a .txt file on my local device.
If a user visited my website, he would be able to input a number and click a "send" button.
The user should receive the sum of his input and the number stored on my text file. Then, the number in the text file should be replaced by the user's input. This means, something like this should run:
my_number <- read.txt(my_file.txt)
write.txt(user_input, file="my_file.txt")
output <- my_number + user_input
My question is, how can I tell R what the desired value for user_input is, and how can I let my website print the output.
NOTE: I tried to use the title "Can a website trigger R code execution?", but for some reason that is an inappropriate title!
A happy and a prosperous New Year, 2016 to everyone.
Here, I am using NCDC website to download weather data from say 01-Jan-2015 to 31-Mar-2015 for a state in the US say Connecticut. The link is mentioned below in the script. From filling details on this webpage to page in which you click on submit after entering your email id, there are intermediate pages that require some inputs before continuing on to a next page. My goal is to write a R script that automatically triggers download (submit order) for different states for different time periods after providing required inputs.
For purpose of ease, I am putting steps that one need to follow to download data for Connecticut. These steps are (please go through 2 snapshots attached):
Step-1 : Here, you select a dataset, State name, and time period-
4 values that would go in the form on landing page are Daily Summaries, 2015-01-01 to 2015-03-31, States, and Connecticut.
library(httr)
url <- "http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/search?datasetid=GHCND"
fd <- list(
submit = "Search",
searchStartDate = "2015-01-01",
searchEndDate = "2015-03-31",
resultType = "States",
searchString = "Connecticut"
)
resp<-POST(url, body=fd, encode="form")
Step-2 : Here, you would need to click first on ADD TO CART and then on View All Items under Cart. This would be possible, if we operate on resp from above step. I am not able to figure out a way to do this operation.
Step-3 : Here, you need to select 2nd option under "Select the Output Format" before clicking on CONTINUE.
Step-4 : Here, you have to select many options as highlighted in the image before clicking on CONTINUE.
Step-5: Finally, you enter the email id and click on "SUBMIT ORDER".
If you need any other input from my end, do let me know.
Thanks
Okay, I know this question has been half answered around here, but I'll explain in full and see if there maybe a better way to handle this then in just two parts.
I'm building an HTML5 voting site, that will close voting every half hour. And then open a new batch of voting.
What I need to do, is have the URL of this site be 'masked' ie:
have a random URL for it be generated that leads to the same location- so say I'm directing users to voting.com, I want them to only access it via the url votingstuff.com/hg67, and have that end portion be changed every half hour- and once the new url is generated, remove access to the site via the old URL.
I might add that after the user votes, I'd also like to close their voting access until the new URL is posted. AKA- everyone only gets one chance to vote.
Thoughts? Libraries to check out? Sites that do this? I know the randomization has been answered a few times, but usually it's a generator led to by a page, I want to START with a randomly generated URL, and not have a page that creates it as a function. I may have to write code that generates the page I guess?
Here is an approach I can think of -
You don't need to handle multiple URL's, you can achieve this on the same URL itself by enabling/disabling access to the URL content every hour.
You will need some action on your application/server side as well. For reference lets assume you have a PHP server running. You will need some table that holds a status setting for you, something like this -
Settings Table
id settingCode value
=============================
1 votingOpen 1
You will also need to setup a cron job on your server that will run every half an hour. The cron job's task would be to run every half an hour & change the value of the votingOpen to its inverse. So assume open your votings, initial value of the votingOpen field would be 1 i.e the first half an hour of voting starts.
Along with this you will start the cron job as well. Now what will happen is that after half an hour the cron job will fetch the value of votingOpen read it & if its 1, it will change it to 0 & if its 0 it will change it to 1. This will happen every half an hour on your server.
Now you need to make this votingOpen variable accessible on your client side code using a simple query to fetch its value. On each render of your voting page, on top somewhere you can check this value & if its 1 i.e true, you will write the logic to go ahead & show the voting page. But if its 0, you can redirect the user or show a different message on that page.
Lets say your voting happens on http://somedomain.com/voting, on the render logic of this page you can do something like this -
Voting View Logic
<?php
$votingOpen = {some database query that fetches the value from the database};
if($votingOpen) {
// your voting view resides here
} else {
// either redirect user to some other page
// or show some message like voting is closed on this same page.
}
?>
Limit multiple votes from one person
Normally the best way to handle this is a combination or registered user only vote + cookie/localStorage + IP tracking
But if you don't have registered user voting, you can still capture IP of user & allow only one vote per IP and you can also set a cookie or a localStorage variable in the users computer so he can only vote once.
Hope this helps.

I recently started a new job with a company and my first task is to update some quite old software for them.
There is a big back story but basically the software was written in PB8 (around 1997) and no one within the company (including me) has had any experience with PowerBuilder before and as the newbie I have been tasked to update and maintain it until a replacement has been approved and can be developed.
We have the license for PowerBuilder 12.5 so I am using PB12.5 Classic to do everything. The original developer cannot be contacted for support and no documentation exists.
One thing I am trying to understand, that will be a huge help in the future, is how to determine where functions are defined and where variables get their values..
The example I am working on at the moment is the following scenario.
There is a data window with tabs, named tab_detail each tab displays different whatever little orange men are in the tree list.
One of these are called dw_detail which allows pasting of data. None of the other tabs allow pasting of data, but I would like them to. dw_detail has an event rbuttondown() with the following code in it:
Window w_parentwin
If ib_add_mode Or ib_chg_mode Then
w_parentwin = Parent.GetParent().GetParent()
m_dwpaste m_pop_paste
m_pop_paste = CREATE m_dwpaste
m_pop_paste.idw_data = This
If ii_agent_code > 0 And Not IsNull(id_period) And Clipboard() <> "" Then
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = TRUE
Else
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = FALSE
End If
m_pop_paste.m_popup.PopMenu(w_parentwin.PointerX(), w_parentwin.PointerY())
DESTROY(m_pop_paste)
End If
When I add that code to the rbuttondown() event of tab number 2 (dw_adjustment) tab 2 now allows paste when I right click within the dw_adjustment data window but the data gets pasted to the fields within the dw_detail tab not the fields on the dw_adjustment tab.
I have tried debugging and stepping through the code but there are thousands of values in the variable window and without the ability to search I cannot find the variables used above and what their values are or why data gets pasted to the dw_detail tab instead of the dw_adjustment tab when I paste into the dw_adjustment tab.
Basically I am looking for any helpful tips on where to look or what the above is doing and why everything pastes to tab 1 instead of the tab I clicked paste in.
If more detail is needed from code from a different location or more information is needed I am happy to provide it.
As suggested by Seki I found the m_popup when double clicked it came up with wf_pastereturn():
Integer li_idx, li_rows, li_dwrows, li_comm, li_seqno
String ls_approval_type
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount() > 0 Then
li_idx = 1
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Do Until li_idx > li_dwrows
ls_approval_type = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx]
If IsNull(ls_approval_type) or ls_approval_type = "" Then
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.DeleteRow(li_idx)
Else
li_idx++
End If
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Loop
End If
If li_dwrows > 0 Then
li_seqno = Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_dwrows])
End If
li_seqno += 10
If Clipboard() <> "" Then
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.ImportClipboard(1, li_rows, 1, 4, 3) <= 0 Then
MessageBox("Invalid Data", "Unable to paste!", StopSign!)
Return -1
End If
li_rows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
li_dwrows++
For li_idx = li_dwrows To li_rows
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_code [li_idx] = ii_agent_code
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.period [li_idx] = id_period
li_comm = f_new_commission(Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.levy_payable[li_idx]= &
inv_rate.of_CalculateLevyPayable (Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.comm_deductable [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.commission [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_idx] = li_seqno
li_seqno += 10
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_date[li_idx] = Today()
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_user[li_idx] = SQLCA.Logid
Next
Clipboard("")
Return 0
Else
Return -1
End If
I modified the function to use the windows SelectedTab property. Data will now paste into the tab but in the wrong input fields. I looked further and the data columns for the ImportClipboard function do not line up.
How is the best way to change the order of the selected database columns?
Here is a screenshot of what I mean by tabs:
So within the main program window, there are the above tabs, within each tab (where the input fields are) there is a data window labelled with the dw_ prefix.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I think first you should do some short tutorials. Please check out these:
PowerBuilder Classic 12/12.5 guide/tutorials
These are short and useful.
On the other side you are able to select specific variables in your own "watch variable" list, so you do not have to search over the several variables. You can right click on the variable name and do a Quickwatch or you can Insert the variable name in the Watch window.

The action with a contextual menu is in 2 times :
handle the mouse right click to display a contextual menu
perform an action among the one or several actions provided by the popup menu
You shown the pbscript that is displaying the menu with PopMenu() if there is something in the clipboard (Clipboard() <> "") and maybe you did not noticed that the pasting action is somewhere else.
Look in m_popup: there must be some code inside that may be hard-coded to paste in dw_detail. If so, maybe that you could store in the window instance variables a reference to the currently processed dw for the contextual menu.
Something like :
datawindow idw_current in the instance variables
then in the rbuttondown() event idw_current = this (this being the datawindow the rbuttondown() event belongs to)
and finally in the menu reuse the id_current instead of a hardcoded dw_detail
Concerning your question about where the variables are modified: what you can do is searching the variables by their name (right click on the target or a single pbl or object then 'search'), and put a breakpoint on the lines where they are affected. If you run in debug mode (CtrlDCtrlT instead of CtrlR) you will be able to trace when a variable is modified.
Paste Problem
Pass 1
It's hard to tell for sure, but I'd look at the code of m_dwpaste.m_popup.m_paste.Clicked. The worse case scenario is that dw_detail is hard coded into that script; the slightly better case is that it has a more flexible routine in there, but somehow dw_adjustment doesn't fit into that algorithm.
Pass 2
With the new information, we can see that the code of wf_pastereturn() (I'm not sure how you got to this script, but this looks like the culprit) is not simply pasting, but doing a lot more that involves specific fields. In fact, it's not just pasting, it's importing the data, which means that it's assuming the contents of the clipboard are not only in a specific format, but match the data set of the DataWindow (see the Columns pane in the DW painter, and be careful not to confuse the data set part of the DataWindow with the UI part). The question is, do you want:
"Pasting" like copying text from Notepad into a browser form; just putting text into the current field?
"Pasting" exactly like the other DataWindow, including assumptions that all the same columns mentioned in the script are in both DataWindows?
"Pasting" something like this script, but customized for the data set in the new DataWindow?
These all require somewhat different solutions, combined with the differences I asked about in my comment about tabs vs. DataWindows.
Finding Stuff
I'm going to give an unapologetically biased point of view, because I'm the author of a tool that, among other things, helps you search PowerBuilder code called PBL Peeper.
If you're looking at code in the Browse tab, and you want to see other mentions of the variable, you can select it, right click, and either
search forward or back within the script
search for the object name in the tree on the left (it'll make more sense when you see it)
search either the rest of the object or the rest of the application
Finding where a variable is assigned is more difficult than it sounds, because of the multiple syntaxes that could be involved.
// assigns a value on instantiation
int i = 1
// assigns a value when executed
i = 1
// does not assign a value
IF i = 1 THEN
// assigns a value possibly if the parameter is passed by reference (kind of like a pointer to the variable)
f_foo (i)
Finding the setting of a variable can be helped by understanding variable scope. If the variable is local, you only need to search the script. If the scope is instance or shared, you need to search the object (as above, pretty easy) and its descendants (easy to go to a given descendant with an RMB on the treeview, harder to search on a set of descendants). If the scope is global, you want to search the entire app.
Finding where a selected function is declared is possible, but you need to know a little secret (or RTFM). The Find on the RMB menu uses the parameters from the Find page, so you need to set Portion Type to All, not just Scripts, to find where functions are declared. Alternatively, you can use the Lists / Scripts pages and find the script using the functions on that page (Find, QuickFind, Filter, etc...).
The tool has a plethora of functionalities that let you find, filter and sift through code to get at what you're after. The above is just a quick introduction.
Good luck,
Terry.
