Full Guide

For this guide we will use AutoHotkey (AHK). Before installing you will need to download it from AutoHotkey Homepage:

  1. Go to AutoHotkey Homepage: https://www.autohotkey.com/  choose the version and download it
  2. During installation of AutoHotkey, you will be asked to choose from UNICODE or ANSI. In short, you would probably want to choose UNICODE. It has support for non-English letters and numbers (characters). Keep going until you see an Install button

After AutoHotkey installed, you will probably want to learn about how to do scripting in AutoHotkey. You can do that either:

  1. Go to https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/AutoHotkey.htm
  2. Find AutoHotkey help file on your computer:
    • Click Programs or All Programs
    • Find AutoHotkey in the list
    • Open AutoHotkey Help File

Once you have a knowledge about the AutoHotkey, you can create your script to automate the form fill-in in Laporan Harian COVID-19 (http://survey.dosh.gov.my/laporanhariancovid19/)

  1. Right-click on your desktop, find “New” -> “AutoHotkey Script”
  2. Give the script a new name. It must end with a .ahk extension. For example: MyScript.ahk
  3. Go to the newly created file, right-click, click “Edit Script“
  4. Copy this script into your script, right after “Ensures a consistent starting directory“. Change the input detail to match yours
