Recording a Script to a File

Once users start to record a script, their subsequent actions are added to the script. Each interface com­mand has one or more associated script commands that are recorded to the script. The script is recorded to a text file in either .py(Python) or .vbs (VBScript) file format or .js (Java Script format).

Complete these steps to record a script to a file.

  1. Click Tools > Record Script to open an explorer window.

  2. Navigate to a chosen directory to save the script. Then double-click the folder’s name.

  3. Type the name of the script in the File name text box, or click its name, and specify the File of type.
