Useful scripts for Sikuli
- by Ivo Flipse
Thanks to Lifehacker I came across Sikuli which is described as:
Sikuli is a visual technology to
search and automate graphical user
interfaces (GUI) using images
(screenshots). The first release of
Sikuli contains Sikuli Script, a
visual scripting API for Jython, and
Sikuli IDE, an integrated development
environment for writing visual scripts
with screenshots easily. Sikuli Script
automates anything you see on the
screen without internal API's support.
You can programmatically control a web
page, a desktop application running on
Windows/Linux/Mac OS X, or even an
iphone application running in an
emulator.
As this looks very promising, perhaps complementary to AutoHotKey I'm curious what scripts you guys will come up with. Especially since this program is portable and could solve "simple" Super User problems.
Example script from their
documentation:
setThrowException(True)
setAutoWaitTimeout(10000)
switchApp("System Preferences.app")
click()
click()
click()
click()
wait()
type("192.168.0.1\t")
type("255.255.255.0\t")
type("192.168.0.254\t")
click()
