+# Amino-Acid-TrakCare-entry-script
+An AutoHotkey script which reads lines from CSV, parses it and saves the results extracted to various variables.
+This script is used to automatically transcribe results from a CSV (for plasma amino acids) and/or insert the standard normal amino acid 
+comment for the respective tests.
+How to use:
+
+# For Plasma amino acids:
+Copy the quantified amino acids CSV file from the GCMS pc onto a flash drive.
+Rename the CSV to "aa". (File name should thus be "aa.csv")
+Remove the previous aa.csv file in this folder, by either renaming or deleting.
+Copy and paste the new aa.csv file into this folder.
+Run the SCRIPT called AA (Green Icon).
+Log-on to TrakCare and open Result Entry Window.
+On the script GUI at the right-hand bottom of the screen click "Plasma_AA".
+Let it do the job.
+Hit "ESC" on the Keyboard if things go haywire, and then call Dieter to troubleshoot: 082 861 2093, or [email protected]
+
+# For Urine Amino acids:
+No specific results will be entered for urine amino acids and the standard "amino" comment will be inserted for each episode in 
+the work list.
+It works slightly different than the plasma amino acids in that it doesn't need to read any CSV file and instead just does the 
+same repetitive steps to enter the standard comment.
+It does need you to have entered the worksheet code and number in result entry window, click find and then open the first episode.
+When on the first episode, click the button Urine_AA.
+Let it do the job.
+Hit "ESC" when an error appears.
+
+# Important:
+Note that you can Hit "ESC" at any point if you notice something abnormal is happening and it should stop doing what it is doing 
+and reload the script automatically.
+
+# Advanced settings:
+The script can be edited with Notepad or ideally Scite4AHK. (Right click and open with... Scite).
+The delays between steps can be altered by increasing or decreasing the "sleep, xxxx" values, which are in milliseconds.
+Generally by increasing the sleep (wait) time between steps, most errors can be resolved.
+The language is AutoHotkey language and the script is also ran by AutoHotkey (currently located in /Documents folder).
+
+Enjoy
