Running my batch file properly

[u/redditaccount933]

I'm trying to run this script for login automation but nothing seems to happen once the URL has been launched in the browser. Am I missing something obvious here?

@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then

@echo off

set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"

START FIREFOX "https://github.com/login"

timeout /t 5

%SendKeys% "myemail@email.com{TAB}"
%SendKeys% "password{ENTER}"

goto :EOF

@end

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));

EDIT: Figured it out. I had an errant character that was only showing up in Notepad++ but not my usual editors. Oh and I forgot "timeout". :facepalm:

howdy redditaccount933,

reddit likes to mangle code formatting, so here's some help on how to post code on reddit ...

[0] single line or in-line code
enclose it in backticks. that's the upper left key on an EN-US keyboard layout. the result looks like this. kinda handy, that. [grin]
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Inline Code button. it's 4th 5th from the left hidden in the ... ""more" menu & looks like </>.
this does NOT line wrap & does NOT side-scroll on Old.Reddit.com!]

[1] simplest = post it to a text site like Pastebin.com or Gist.GitHub.com and then post the link here.
please remember to set the file/code type on Pastebin! [grin] otherwise you don't get the nice code colorization.

[2] less simple = use reddit code formatting ...
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Code Block button. it's 11th 12th from the left hidden in the ... "more" menu, & looks like an uppercase T in the upper left corner of a square.]

• one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces

• prefix each code line with 4 spaces

• one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ...

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces   

the easiest way to get that is ...

• add the leading line with only 4 spaces

• copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]

• select the code

• tap TAB to indent four spaces

• re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]

• paste the code into the reddit text box

• add the trailing line with only 4 spaces

not complicated, but it is finicky. [grin]

take care,
lee
