  • I leave MFP running days/weeks at a time because the settings and what I am doing allow me to do so.  What I do have to do manually is click the statement button and then do a save (in CSV format).  Can this be automated like the scheduler in the monitoring options?

    i.e. Have a "Exactly at this time every day: hh/mm/ss" option for saving the statement to a specified directory path (possibly with an overwrite option if needed for same filenames).

    That way, knowing UK racing is done and dusted by 22:00, MFP could automatically save the statement (and logs?) and I am happy in the knowledge my test data is stored should I not be able to get to the PC for an extended period of time.  Knowing that a large amount of statement / log data can slow things down, there could also be an option to "clear up" the MFP logs once a save to the user's specified directory has been done.

    regards

  • Try Autohotkey http://ahkscript.org/ to do the automation. I actually download from Betfair since I am to diseminate different sports.

  • Hi londolozi,

    many thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not sure this would do what I'm after (I would need MFP or a trigger to be able to run a script and even then it would need to emulate mouse clicks I think).

    But I have made a note of the product - it looks very useful for other Windows based tasks.

    regards

  • Using key strokes is the best policy. The only part of the code that uses mouse movement is the where you need to hover/click the 'download to spreadsheet' link on the betfair page.
    I always save it as a generic name then change the name using Autohotkey.
    eg Bethistory.xls becomes Bethistory_NFL.xls

  • Hi,

    I think we are talking at cross purposes!

    The statement I am referring to is the "statement" button on the MFP interface.  i.e. It is the MFP statement I am meaning, not the Betfair one.

    regards

  • Yes, we are.
    I am suggesting you use the Betfair one since you can set a regular day range eg -1day or -7days etc.
    As well as individual sports.
