So I just realized that what I'm asking for makes it sound like I'm making viruses, but I'm not. However, saying that makes it more likely that people will suspect of making viruses. Ugh. Anyways... I'm looking for a programming language that can basically look at my computer's screen and input things into other programs. For example, a program that, when run, could move the cursor to a specific co-ordinate on my screen, where I have Microsoft Word or my desktop, then make the cursor double-click, then input "I just opened Word!", so that the text appears in Word. So like, a language that can make my computer do stuff. I promise I'm not going to just have it click cookies 100 times per second (I don't actually promise this) Does anyone have any ideas about a programming language that could do this? |

If you just want to open/close programs and such, use Batch files. Otherwise I know quite a few languages can do what you want. I've used Java which comes with the Robot class, a class which does everything you described. P.S. Don't feel bad about wanting to script and automate tasks/games, that's how I got into programming 5 years ago  |

Thanks so much! The robot class has literally everything that I need! I thought that a program language with this kind of thing would be a pipe dream, but apparently not! Thank you so much! |
