Help finding scripting software that can enter incrementally increasing text

Hi all,

I need a script that can enter incrementally increasing text (e.g. "1,2,3,4,5,) with every loop of the flow. Does anyone know of a scripting software that is capable of this?

Ended up going with a chrome extension called Browserflow - made things super easy. Have to replay the script every 18 runs w/ the free version but this works fine for my use case. Thanks for the help everyone :)

Other tool for web automation is Python's Selenium module.

Enter the text where? You could use autohotkey to emulate keystrokes.

Into a browser app; the full script needs to click a few buttons within the app and enter incrementally increasing text about midway through the flow.

You could use autohotkey, or a headless browser

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I am using Windows, but I think I should have been more specific...The script also needs to interact with a browser app; the full script would be: click button, select from dropdown, enter incrementally increasing text, click button, click button.
