Is there a way to click (select) some files at download directory ?

[Airton Luciano]

Hi

I need to click (select) files (at download directory) that have a month is his names, in order to attach them to a mail message.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Using ui interaction. Click on file if it contains month name

Hi Dev777.

I am trying this but doesn't work. Nothing happen with the click (short or long) and suddenly a file manager (X-plore) opens.

Thanks for you attention.

You use read screen? You can try to click element ID instead of the text itself

The problem is that the screen is a RECENT FILES list. Do you guess that element ID works at this scenarium? Every time that I tried to use element ID MD shows the coordinates.

Thanks

This is the idea.
Read screen. Iterate the result and click the id if the text contains month name

Hi.

I use your example and is working well for the first files to be clicked but suddenly MD begins to click at the right symbol (see attachment) that makes an app like text editor to open. Is there a way to force a click only over the file name?

Please share the sample macro we see

I see the preview icons also contain the month name. You can add a break from loop before the preview icons

To select these files why don't you generate a list in a string variable (via Shell script)?

Then you could extract (or remove) from this list names matching (or not) the month pattern using Regex. If you have the ability to name these files in a more convenient way (such as YYYYMM, year/month in digits) Regex pattern would become very easy to write...

Hi.

I did this. The files are named with the month name and I iterate troughan list containing the twelve months names and, for each month, clicked at a corresponding text at the screen.

Unfortunately DM behavior is say... Erratic. At some time It begins to click on another place.

Also it seems that the loop jumps some instance of list.

Conclusion.

I will try to scrapp the data directly from each screen.

Thanks for suggestion.

I don't really understand what happens when you get the list from a Shell script...

I don't get the list from outside MD. I declared the list as a global variable and iterate through it.

Shell Script is an built-in action to allow execution of bash commands.

When you speak about iteration, I guess you are speaking about a global array. But in your case, I don't think you need that at all.

I think you should have a look to MD Wiki to get more familiar with MacroDroid concept and statements...

Thanks for advises.

I've read MD wiki frequently but am facing with some difficulties because lack of examples.
