Automatically triggering a button - autoit

I am new to AutoIt. I want to run my code without hitting or pressing the "ok" button that appears when the MsgBox is called.
My code is as follows:
$val = 10
For $i = 1 To 59
$doubled = MyDouble($val)
sleep(100)
MsgBox(0, "", $val & " doubled is " & $doubled )
$val = $doubled
Next
MsgBox(0,"the value ","The final vaule is as " & $val)
Exit
Func MyDouble($value)
$value = $value * 2
Return $value
EndFunc

You can use a timeout on the MsgBox.
From the AutoIt help...
MsgBox ( flag, "title", "text" [, timeout [, hwnd]] )
So you could do this to have a 1 second timeout:
MsgBox(0, "", $val & " doubled is " & $doubled, 1)

autoit - randomize text replacement with stringreplace function

So I am in need of replacing string text with autoit using stringreplace but I need to randomize the output.
An example of what I need is
Stringreplace($string, "and", {also|as well})
My ultimate goal is to randomly replace the text with the following options based on the word "and" with also or as well
I wrote this a long time ago.
It will convert this
My name is {John|Peter|Mark}! {Regards|Cheers|Get lost}!
to something like this
My name is John! Cheers!
It works with line breaks also.
Func SpintaxToTXT($TextWithSpintax)
Dim $MSGMSG
Dim $lines
$lines = StringSplit($TextWithSpintax, #LF)
For $z = 1 To $lines[0]
If $z > 1 Then $MSGMSG &= #LF
$d = StringSplit($lines[$z], "{}")
For $i = 1 To $d[0]
$MSGSplit = StringSplit($d[$i], "|")
If #error Then
$MSGMSG &= $MSGSplit[1]
ContinueLoop
EndIf
$MSGMSG &= $MSGSplit[Random(1, $MSGSplit[0], 1)]
Next
Next
Return $MSGMSG
EndFunc ;==>SpintaxToTXT
Try this:
Global $options_A = StringSplit('also,as well,bla,blubb,that,this', ',', 2)
For $i = 0 To 20
ConsoleWrite($options_A[Random(0, UBound($options_A) - 1, 1)] & #CRLF)
Next
Here's one I made earlier. Works exactly the same as StringReplace except instead of taking a replacement string, it takes a function that returns the replacement string. The using Xenobiologist's array method, you get the desired result.
Local $sTest = "The cat and the dog and the rat."
ConsoleWrite(_StringReplaceCallback($sTest, "and", _MyCallback) & #LF)
Func _MyCallback($s)
Local Static $aOptions = StringSplit("also|as well", "|")
Return $aOptions[Random(1, $aOptions[0], 1)]
EndFunc ;==>_MyCallback
Func _StringReplaceCallback($sString, $sFind, $funcReplace, $iOccurence = 0, $iCaseSense = 0)
Local $sRet = ""
Local $iDir = 1
Local $iPos = 1
If $iOccurence < 0 Then
$iDir = -1
$iPos = StringLen($sString)
EndIf
If $iOccurence = 0 Then $iOccurence = $iDir * StringLen($sString)
While 1
$i = StringInStr($sString, $sFind, $iCaseSense, $iDir, $iPos)
If $iDir > 0 Then
If Not $i Or Not $iOccurence Then
$sRet &= StringMid($sString, $iPos)
ExitLoop
EndIf
$sRet &= StringMid($sString, $iPos, $i - $iPos) & $funcReplace($sFind)
$iPos = $i + StringLen($sFind)
Else
If Not $i Or Not $iOccurence Then
$sRet = StringMid($sString, 1, $iPos) & $sRet
ExitLoop
EndIf
$sRet = $funcReplace($sFind) & StringMid($sString, $i + StringLen($sFind), $iPos - $i - StringLen($sFind) + 1) & $sRet
$iPos = $i - 1
EndIf
If $iOccurence <> 0 Then $iOccurence -= $iDir
WEnd
Return $sRet
EndFunc ;==>_StringReplaceCallback
It's probably worth noting that there is actually a simpler solution for this, provided the replacement strings don't ever include "and" (or else you'll have an infinite loop), that just replaces one instance at a time:
Local $sString = "The cat and the dog and the rat."
Local $aOptions = StringSplit("also|as well", "|")
Do
$sString = StringReplace($sString, "and", $aOptions[Random(1, $aOptions[0], 1)], 1)
Until Not #extended
ConsoleWrite($sString & #LF)

I'm creating a script that will open a program , login , and do specific tasks .
I created the login script with a variables adding and loopin through .
The problem is with the program , sometimes it just gives you an error on connection or a network problem .
What I need is IF the script gets the problem it'll reset it self and go through the account it got the error on , This is what I have so far and I just can't make it work

My script is returning 0 even though the CSV source is not empty

I'm in the process of making a small program to tell me on the fly how many employees are currently punched in via AvayaCMS Reporting.
Right now, the way that it is setup is that I have an Avaya script to take a quick report and export it in a CSV that is used by my Autoit script.
In terms of debugging it, I feel like I missing something and need another set of eyes.
launching the Staffing.au3 triggers the CSV script I'm using against the report. Even having the exact same data my message box still reports "0"

Search string in file and print next 5th line in file using autoit

I have a text file contains nearly 20 lines wanted to search a string in file and print next 5th line in file using autoit, any one can help me to solve this
#include <File.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$file = #ScriptDir & "\file.txt"
$search = "str"
If FileExists($file) Then
$contents = FileRead($file)
If #error Then
MsgBox(0, 'File Error', $file & ' could not be read.')
Else
For $i = 1 To $count
If StringInStr($contents, $search) Then
MsgBox(0, 'Positive', $file & ' does contain the text "' & $search & '"')
Else
MsgBox(0, 'Negative', $file & ' does NOT contain the text "' & $search & '"')
EndIf
Next
EndIf
EndIf
This reads the text file until the search string is found and then writes the next 5 lines to STDOUT:
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $file = #ScriptDir & "\file.txt", $search = "str"
Global $iLine = 0, $sLine = ''
Global $hFile = FileOpen($file)
If $hFile = -1 Then
MsgBox(0,'ERROR','Unable to open file for reading.')
Exit 1
EndIf
; find the line that has the search string
While 1
$iLine += 1
$sLine = FileReadLine($hFile)
If #error = -1 Then ExitLoop
; $search found in the line, now write the next 5 lines to STDOUT
If StringInStr($sLine, $search)And Not $iValid Then
For $i = $iLine+1 To $iLine+5
ConsoleWrite($i & ':' & FileReadLine($hFile, $i) & #CRLF)
Next
ExitLoop
EndIf
WEnd
FileClose($hFile)
Edit
Due to Matt's argument here's a 2nd version of the loop that doesn't use the "line" parameter for FileReadLine.
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $file = #ScriptDir & "\file.txt", $search = "str"
Global $iLine = 0, $sLine = '', $iValid = 0
Global $hFile = FileOpen($file)
If $hFile = -1 Then
MsgBox(0,'ERROR','Unable to open file for reading.')
Exit 1
EndIf
; find the line that has the search string
While 1
$iLine += 1
$sLine = FileReadLine($hFile)
If #error = -1 Then ExitLoop
; test the line for the $search string until the flag $iValid is set
If StringInStr($sLine, $search) And Not $iValid Then
$iValid = 1
ContinueLoop
EndIf
If $iValid Then
$iValid += 1
ConsoleWrite($iLine & ':' & $sLine & #CRLF)
If $iValid > 5 Then ExitLoop
EndIf
WEnd
FileClose($hFile)
You won't note much difference between those two versions of the script, unless you are reading a file with 10k+ lines and the lines you are looking for are in the last quarter of that file but it surely is a good idea to prevent possible performance issues.

MsiEnumRelatedProducts returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER with iProductIndex > 0

I'm trying to write an AutoIt script that uninstalls all MSI packages with a specific Upgrade Code. This is my code so far:
$i = 0
Do
$buffer = DllStructCreate("wchar[39]")
$ret = DllCall("msi.dll", "UINT", "MsiEnumRelatedProductsW", _
"wstr", "{a1b6bfda-45b6-43cc-88de-d9d29dcafdca}", _ ; lpUpgradeCode
"dword", 0, _ ; dwReserved
"dword", $i, _ ; iProductIndex
"ptr", DllStructGetPtr($buffer)) ; lpProductBuf
$i = $i + 1
MsgBox(0, "", $ret[0] & " " & DllStructGetData($buffer, 1))
Until($ret[0] <> 0)
This works flawlessly to determine the Product Code for the first installed product, but it returns 87 (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER) as soon as iProductIndex is incremented to 1. Usually this error is returned when the input GUID is malformed, but if that would be the case, it shouldn't work with iProductIndex = 0 either...
What I expected from this code (when 2 packages with the same Upgrade Code are installed) is:
Print "0 <first Product Code>"
Print "0 <second Product Code>"
Print "259" (ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS)
What it currently does:
Print "0 <first Product Code>"
Print "87" (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER)
Any ideas?
(If you want to test this code on your own computer, you will need to have two MSI packages with the same UpgradeCode installed. Here are my WiX test packages: http://pastie.org/3022676 )
OK, I've found a simple workaround: I just remove every product I can find with iProductIndex = 0 in a loop.
Func GetProduct($UpgradeCode)
$buffer = DllStructCreate("wchar[39]")
$ret = DllCall("msi.dll", "UINT", "MsiEnumRelatedProductsW", _
"wstr", $UpgradeCode, _ ; lpUpgradeCode
"dword", 0, _ ; dwReserved
"dword", 0, _ ; iProductIndex
"ptr", DllStructGetPtr($buffer)) ; lpProductBuf
Return DllStructGetData($buffer, 1)
EndFunc
$Last = ""
$Product = ""
Do
$Last = $Product
$Product = GetProduct("{a1b6bfda-45b6-43cc-88de-d9d29dcafdca}")
If $Product = "" Then Exit
$Ret = RunWait("msiexec /qn /x " & $Product)
ConsoleWrite($Ret & " " & $Product & #CRLF)
If $Product = $Last Then Exit 1
Until($product = "")
This doesn't work because using DllCall() the DLL is not kept open. The function MsiEnumRelatedProducts propably has internal state that is required for the enumeration and is only initialized when the index is zero. When the DLL is closed, this state is lost.
To fix this, call DllOpen() before the loop. Keep the DLL open while the loop is running and pass the DLL handle instead of its filename to DllCall(). Close the DLL using DllClose() when the loop has been finished.
Here is a function that returns an array of ProductCodes for the given UpgradeCode. It returns Null in case the function didn't found any products.
Func GetRelatedProducts( $UpgradeCode )
Local $result[ 1 ] ; Can't declare empty array :/
Local $dll = DllOpen( "msi.dll" )
If #error Then Return SetError( 1, #error, Null )
Local $buffer = DllStructCreate( "wchar[39]" )
Local $index = 0
Local $success = False
Do
Local $ret = DllCall( $dll, "UINT", "MsiEnumRelatedProductsW", _
"wstr", $UpgradeCode, _ ; lpUpgradeCode
"dword", 0, _ ; dwReserved
"dword", $index, _ ; iProductIndex
"ptr", DllStructGetPtr($buffer)) ; lpProductBuf
If #error Then
DllClose( $dll )
Return SetError( 1, #error, Null )
EndIf
$success = $ret[ 0 ] = 0 ; $ret[ 0 ] contains the DLL function's return value
If( $success ) Then
Local $productCode = DllStructGetData( $buffer, 1 )
Redim $result[ $index + 1 ]
$result[ $index ] = $productCode
$index += 1
EndIf
Until( Not $Success )
DllClose( $dll )
if( $index ) Then
Return $result
Else
Return Null
EndIf
EndFunc
Usage:
Local $productCodes = GetRelatedProducts( "{insert-upgradecode-here}" )
If( IsArray( $productCodes ) ) Then
MsgBox( 0, "Success!", "Found products:" & #CRLF & _ArrayToString( $productCodes, #CRLF ) )
EndIf
