I want to write a program that will ask for 3 variables and then sleep until a certain time. At this fixed time, it will open a web browser, open a static webpage, fill in 3 forms, click okay, then print. Nothing special, something like a glorified ebay sniper. In fact, its pretty much a macro, but I want it to only do this one function.
So here is my problem. While I am more than computer literate, I have never had to write a program before. Pretty much everything I have ever needed has already been done, and I am not one to reinvent the wheel.
So what do I need to do? What language should I write this in? Where is a good source for sample programs to learn from?
I apologize for this post, as I am sure there are several a day. I searched for "ebay" and "form filler," but did not come up with any meaningfull results.
And, this is not an ebay program, that is just the best way I can describe what I am wanting to do. This program will be used to checkin online for frequent fliers, as this can only be done after midnight, and may flyers do not stay up this late.
