Short cut or automate 'import wizard'

Hi, it would handy to be able to have a short cut or an automation for the following data importation process:

"import wizard => pick file => open file => click, click, click....".

Has anyone done this? How did you go about it please.

You could do the same thing with OLE provided the import format is known and if you are nerdy, probably create the import format on the fly ( never had to do it though, but its definitely possible).

If you are looking at a it from a human perspective, then maybe you could try AutoIT or AutoHotKey or something similar to that. But you still have to script it, no shortcuts.

Thanks trav. I remember the last time I used AHK I ran a script (repeat x1000) without first knowing how to stop it. The thing went crazy, clicking incorrect places all over the page whilst I was pressing every key and combination of keys to try to stop it. Had to get on my phone to google how to stop AHK script. :grimacing::running_man::running_woman:

The Batch functionality provides way to automate imports too: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_batch.html
