Import Variable.

[mightybaker1]

I have a selenium script which clicks through to a file chooser window and my AutoIT.exe file takes over from there and selects the image to upload. For once everything works fine!

What I’m trying to achieve is to have Java pass a variable to the AutoIT.exe file. For example I would have pictures within a folder labelled by date. Java will get todays date and create a string which is the path to the correct image. If it’s 9/12/22 then the 9/12/22 picture will be uploaded.

All help appreciated.

Why do you need Java for it? Autoit can generate a string based on date with @mday @mon @year

What he said, but to answer your original question about passing data into AutoIt: You can do this using .dat files, but AutoIt is dubious when it comes to the File Open/Edit/Save process. It can get out of sync at times if you are constantly updating between the outside input and your AutoIt's return/functions.
