AI Thread Summary
Automation of a multi-step process involving four programs and a webpage can be achieved using tools like AutoIt, which is designed for scripting automation tasks in Windows. Users can execute web pages through commands, such as using Explorer with a URL argument. For image retrieval, scripting languages like Perl or Python may offer more efficient solutions by parsing web pages for image URLs. Additionally, VBScript can be utilized for those with programming skills to create custom automation scripts. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the potential of various automation utilities to streamline repetitive tasks.

i want to automatize a process that uses 4 programs and 1 web pages
so it has more than 5 steps that repeats cyclically
so my question is if a windows program can do this
the processs would be like this

goto page xxxxxx
save image at xxxxxxxx
open program xxxxxxx
open image saved
save inage in format xxxxx
open program yyyyyy and process image xxxxxx
process image in programzzzz
the result copy and paste in program wwwww
goto step 1

autoit

thanks for your valuable information
but there's now this problem, i see that i can download an internet file with the program , but i can't find any instruction that let's you open a webpage
by the way, does this type of prog have a special name, or category?
(like software for manage software??)

"Automation Utilities" could be a suitable category.

You could search for AutoIt on google and possibly find AutoIt among other similar programs.

You could execute explorer with the webpage as an argument.
For example
explorer "http://www.cnn.com"[/B]

If what you are ultimately after are images on webpages, you might find that writing a script in say perl or python is more efficient. You could parse a webpage for the URLs to the images you want, then retrieve them via the program or else through some external program like lynx or maybe wget.
These programs are available from Cygwin (the unix-like distribution that runs in Windows).

You can always write this sort of program easily using VBScript, but then that all depends on your programming ability.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
