    I have a question


    And thought this is the best place I know to ask.


    I was watching "The Social Network", and noticed he was using terminal scripts on linux to download a bunch of images at once.

    Can I do something similar with CMD or any other program for windows, but instead of it just downloading images, make it click certain links, or a certain X,Y position on the screen, all timed a certain way?

    PS: You dont actually have to give me a script for that, as much as just show me how to do it, or find me a site that can show me how, because I couldnt find one.

    If you use firefox, there is an add-on I use to DL a bunch of pictures. It's called Bazzacuda. I've been using it for a few years now and it works real good.

    The set-up was a little confusing to me at first but once you get over that hump it might be all you need.

    Hope this helps...

    In the case of "the social network", he used the wget command. wget - Linux Command - Unix Command

    Ok so we've established that. Is there a command I can use to have it click at a certain X,Y on my screen in a certain sequence?

    If you just want to click at a specific section of the screen....you could use something like DoItAgain which is a keyboard mouse recorder utility that can repeat a series of tasks. I used it recently at work to log into a number of servers and update the DNS servers defined in /etc/resolv.conf.
