If %LoopIndex% > 9
Get subtext %LoopIndex% start to 1 (left 1) to %LoopIndexTens%
Get subtext %LoopIndex% start 1 to end (right 1) to %LoopIndexOnes%
End (IF)

Send keys number pad %LoopIndexTens%
send keys number pad %LoopIndexOnes%

Would you believe it works with just %LoopIndex% 😂
The current pdf has max 9 pages but I set the loop index to 99-101 just to see and it does send 99,100, 101.

Haha. Any particular reason you need it to be the number pad? Just curious.

Just thought I would need the Numpad so send keys would know what im trying to do, as I said I didnt realise I could just input %LoopIndex% .
Its getting the Edge browser to open a pdf, top left is where I input the pdf page numbers.
Page 1, if text found do this, if not page 2 and so on.
I get the pdf page count, set loop index 1 to last page, send keys is the current %LoopIndex%
Loads of fun 🤣
No particular reason for using Edge over Adobe, just seeing if I can really...

Sorry. Would have told you that if I understood the concept. When I saw you have {NumPad} in the send keys I thought it had to be the Number Pad, like using the number keys on the regular keyboard would work.

glad you found it.

That was my logic, thinking I "had" to use NumPad.
No worries 😂
