Recording a Script

You can choose either to record a script to a file or to record a script to the Project. Once you start to record a script, your subsequent actions are added to the script. Each interface command has one or more associated script commands that are recorded to the script.

To record a script to the project:

  1. Click Tools > Record Script to Project to open the Save Script to Project dialog box.
  2. In the Save Script to Project dialog box, type the name of the script and click OK.
  3. Perform the steps that you want to record.
  4. When you have finished recording the script, click Tools > Stop Script Recording. The script is recorded to a text file in .vbs (VBScript) file format and placed in the Project Manager Definitions > Scripts folder.

To record a script to a file:

  1. Click Tools > Record Script to File.
    The Save As dialog box appears.
  2. Use the file browser to locate and select the folder in which you want to save the script.
  1. Type the name of the script in the File name text box and choose the file type (IronPython Script .py, or Visual Basic Script .vbs), and then click Save to save script in the folder you selected and begin recording.
  2. Perform the steps that you want to record.
  3. When you have finished recording the script, click Tools > Stop Script Recording.
