An AHK script to select particular tables for reverse engineering in PowerDesigner

The following script helps to select tables (optionally any objects) in the 'Database Reverse Engineering' window of PowerDesigner 15.3 that are stored in txt file.
First one should unmark all objects in the list view, then run the script, hit F5, and after the selection process ends (that can be noticed by stopped blinking of the 'Database Reverse Engineering' window) hit SPACE to mark only selected objects.
Here's the resulting list:

Script uses Acc Library to get the names of items in the ListView and to select them. It should be run under one of the latest releases of AutoHotkey_L.
In my particular case file containing list of objects is called 'tables_to_reverse.txt' (see the script).
