I have several tabs open in Firefox. I want AutoIt to activate a particular tab in Firefox. How can this be done?
Nop... The script is buggy ^^'... no need to count to 100, and there is a problem with the "send" after it:
If you send ctrl + number =>the number can't be bigger than 9... Because ten is a number with 2 caracters, Firefox can't activate tab 10 with shortcut.
And by the way when the script is working there is a moment he release the ctrl key.. It don't send ten, but ctrl and 1 end zero ... and splash !!! It just send the number in the window. So we need to learn to the script that the second time he's back to $i = 0 or one, all the tabs was seen, no need to continue, even if the text you're searching for was not found. So I made my own script based on the old one:
##
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
$searchString = "The string you're looking for"
Local $o = 0
WinActivate("The Name of the process where you're searching")
For $i = 0 To 9
Send("^" & $i)
Sleep(250)
if ($i = 9) Then
$o += 1
EndIf
If not (StringInStr(WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]"), $searchString) = 0) Then
MsgBox("","","Found it !") ;your action, the text was found.
ExitLoop
ElseIf ($o = 1) Then
MsgBox("","","All tab seen, not found...") ;your action, the text was not found, even after looking all title.
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
