Windows Macro Software to open multiple files

Folks, does any one know of macro software to open each file in a folder one at a time select a menu item then quit and move on to the next file?

 

AutoIt?

 

what do you mean?

 

I'll take a look

select the file menu and pick a function from the menu.

 

So you want a macro that will open a file in a folder.
Open a menu in the application once that file is open.
Then close that file.

What are you trying to achieve? There may be a simpler way.

 

Its an internal application that spits out a picture of a block flow diagram when this option is picked. There are 500 or so files that one of my bosses wants the pictures from and I don't want to spend all afternoon doing it...

 

Do you have a programmable keyboard?

With autoit it'll be something like this (not the actual coding required):

Press(Ctrl+O)
LoopCounter=5
Do
~LoopCounter=LoopCounter-1
~Press(Tab)
Until LoopCounter=0
FileCounter=1
PressCounter=0
Do
~PressCounter=PressCounter+1
~Press(RightArrowKey)
Until PressCounter=FileCounter
Press(Enter)
Wait(3000)
Filecounter=Filecounter+1
Press(Alt)
Press(E)
Press(D)
Wait(5000)
Press(Ctrl+S)
Press(Enter)
Press(Ctrl+W)
/# Some loop here or GoTo
