SEND Command Syntax Help

[Art1234]

[ticket][/ticket]I am trying to use the SEND command to send a string of characters including the # symbol to a dialog box. I have read through the FAQ and found the “flag” parameter. But I am not having any luck implementing it. Would someone be kind enough to point me to an example?

Here is what I have:

;getting parameters from command line

$DestDir = $CmdLine[1]

$Pword = $CmdLine[2]

WinWaitActive ("PGP Self Decrypting Archive - Enter Passphrase")

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ($DestDir)

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ($Pword)

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{ENTER}")

Okay what you are saying is that $Pword has a # in it and it doesnt want to send it? Give me a example of the dir and password.

BTW you can shorten your sends likes this.

$DestDir = $CmdLine[1]
$Pword = $CmdLine[2]
WinWaitActive ("PGP Self Decrypting Archive - Enter Passphrase")
Send ("{TAB 4}")
Send ($DestDir)
Send ("{TAB 2}")
Send ($Pword)
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{ENTER}")

Here is an example of the command line:

PGP_AutoIt.exe c:\temp\test1 Wilm123#

dir = c:\temp\test1

password = Wilm123# (I also suspect I'll run into passwords with other characters as well, !, @, etc.)

Thanks for the consolodation tip!

Try this:

$DestDir = $CmdLine[1]

$Pword = $CmdLine[2]

WinWaitActive ("PGP Self Decrypting Archive - Enter Passphrase")

Send ("{TAB 4}")

Send ($DestDir)

Send ("{TAB 2}")

Send ($Pword, 1)

Send ("{TAB}")

Send ("{ENTER}")

Send ( "keys" [, flag] )

flag [optional] Changes how "keys" is processed:

flag = 0 (default), Text contains special characters like + and ! to indicate SHIFT and ALT key-presses.

flag = 1, keys are sent raw.

What are you sending to?

Try Commands in help file, ControlSend, ControlSetText

Also like john said try sending it raw

$DestDir = $CmdLine[1]
$Pword = $CmdLine[2]
WinWaitActive ("PGP Self Decrypting Archive - Enter Passphrase")
Send ("{TAB 4}")
Send ($DestDir,1)
Send ("{TAB 2}")
Send ($Pword,1)
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{ENTER}")

Thank you. I was taking the help file command line to literally. Trying things like "Send ( "keys" [, flag=1] )", etc.
