Answer» Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help me write a simple dos script for notepad that I can run to ALLOW me to download some history on my computer.
I want the script to: 1) start firefox 2) goto tools > EmailHistory > Export history 3) (a login box pops up) enter password "password" 4) ( a directory request will pop up) select F:/Folder > ok 5) (message pops up SAYING history exported ok) select ok 6) close firefox
Thanks in advanced Ryan.You can't do these things in "DOS". You might be able to develop a script in a Windows automation tool like AutoHotKey, and you would stand a better chance of getting your QUESTION answered in a forum devoted to that tool or a similar one. This could PROBABLY be done in AutoIt or VBScript, but I can't help you because there is no such item "Email History" on the tools menu.Quote from: Linux711 on May 16, 2011, 11:45:46 AM This could probably be done in AutoIt or VBScript, but I can't help you because there is no such item "Email History" on the tools menu.
I think he probably means Mozilla Thunderbird, but he hasn't been back, so we may never know. This question seems a bit hackish/script kiddieish - I mean, why not just do it in the GUI? I note he wants to use a "drive F" which could be a pen drive... It might not be his computer he wants to do the exporting on.
