Record and execute actions

Project description

arexecute

Application to record actions on the computer and then execute them in a controlled way.

Installation

arexecute is in pypi, run the following command to install:

python -m pip install arexecute

After installation, all commands that are run using the module as a direct application can be run using either one of the following commands:

python -m arexecute <arexecute-commands>

or:

arexecute <arexecute-commands>

For the examples we will stick to the second one.

Recording

To record into a file named "example.json", run the following line:

arexecute example

Here "example" can be a filename with a path different from the current directory, or it can be only a filename, either with the .json extension or without it.
The instructions for recording are the following:

(->) Denotes press first one key, then the next

Command Action
Alt Stop recording
W -> any number -> W Add waiting time of seconds equal to the number
Caps Lock -> any string -> Caps Lock Writes the string
Ctrl Move mouse to current mouse position
Shift n times Clicks n times in the last mouse position determined by Ctrl
v Adds a variable to be defined later

In this way, one can record mouse movements, clicks, writing variables, etc.

Executing

To execute, run the following line:

arexecute example -e

This will execute the recorded example once. In order to run more than one time, add an integer after de -e flag. To run it indefinitely use the -r flag. In order for this command to work, a previous recording named "example.json" in the same directory, or in the one specified by the filename must exist.

Using Variables

When recording, typing 'v' will add a new variable in place. In order to define this variable, you can go to the json file, 'variable' key and replace the "var_placeholder" strings for the variable itself. In order to use different variables for different iterations, replace the same strings by lists of variables.

Usage on a .py file

To use this program in a python script, just import the functions start_recording and start_executing, this functions receive the file to execute/record to, and also other parameters associated that are analogous to the flags shown.
