AutoScriptWriter comes installed with Autohotkey. It is started using <StartMenu-Programs-AutoHotKey>. Once the recorder is started by pressing the red record button on top left, it shows a <Stop> button which needs to be clicked to stop recording.
An excel sheet is made and two cells are highlighted with yellow background where the mouse click and keystrokes would happen. Lets call them cell1 and cell2
Stop button is pressed to stop recording. All the actions done are converted in to a script by the recorder.
In this script, the default delay between mouse clicks / keystrokes is generated with a value of 100 which is 100 ms. This is very small for the naked eye to notice and hence is changed to 3000ms or 3s.
The script is saved on the hard disk. On right clicking the script, there is a <Compile Script> option which when clicked will generate an .exe file
This .exe file when executed would repeat all the actions that were recorded and hence would again write the values in the cells of the excel sheet.
