For detailed information, see Section 5.2.82, Submit. |
|
Subtract |
Use the Subtract command to subtract one value from another. This is useful if you are implementing periodic password change functionality for an application. You can use the subtract command (in conjunction with the Divide function and the Slina DLL) to determine the number of days that have elapsed since the last password change. Other numeric commands include Add, Divide, and Multiply. For detailed information, see Section 5.2.83, Subtract. |
|
Tag/EndTag |
Use the Tag/EndTag commands to find HTML tags. For detailed information, see Section 5.2.84, Tag/EndTag. |

For detailed information, see Section 5.2.86, Title. |
|
Type |
Use the Type command to enter data, such as usernames and passwords, into applications. There are reserved character sequences that are used to type special characters, for example TAB and ENTER. If it is not possible to determine Control IDs in a Windows application, and the Type command is not working, use the SendKey command instead. For detailed information, see Section 5.2.87, Type. |
|
WaitForFocus |
Use the WaitForFocus command to suspend the running of the application definition until the <#Ctrl-ID> has received keyboard focus, or the <Repeat-Loops> expire. The<Repeat-Loops> is an optional value that defines the number of loop cycles to run. The<Repeat-Loops> value defaults to 3000 loops if nothing is set. After focus is received, the application definition continues. For detailed information, see Section 5.2.89, WaitForFocus. |
|
WaitForText |
Use the WaitForText command so the Terminal Launcher waits for the specified <text> to display before continuing. For example, the user waits for a username field to display before attempting to type a username. For detailed information, see Section 5.2.90, WaitForText. |
