Problem with {ENTER} in text file. :(

[Ivan808]

I have the file writing to my .db file. And I have it working with @Tab. I want to replace @TAB with {ENTER} so that I receive this output:

Line1

Line2

Line3

Line4

ect.

Below is the code that I have so far.

Case $save_button
            $pos1 = GUICtrlRead($main_1)
            $pos2 = GUICtrlRead($main_2)
            $DB = FileOpen("database.db",1)
        $DB2 = FileOpen("database2.db",1)
            $EXIST = GetUser($pos1)
            $EXIST = GetPwd($pos2)
            If Not $EXIST Then FileWriteLine($DB, $pos1 & "{ENTER}" & $pos2)
            FileClose($DB)

If I replace "{ENTER}" with @TAB, it gives a tab, but if I use "" with the {ENTER} inside, it gives me:

TEST1{ENTER}TEST2

--------------

And if I take the quotes ("") out of the equation, it will not work, i keep getting an error.

ERROR: syntax error (illegal character)

If Not $EXIST Then FileWriteLine($DB, $pos1 & {

I have searched and searched for days now, looking in any examples I can come across and still cant figure out why this isn't working. I'm still VERY new at this, so be gentle.

I obviously want to eventually use SQLite, but figure this is the next best/easiest thing to do right now to get the script working.

Thanks in advance for any help thrown my way.

"{ENTER}" is only used for Send. You need a carriage return character which is represented in AutoIt by @CR

FileWriteLine($DB, $pos1 & @CR & $pos2)

If you need carriage return and line feed use @CRLF

OUTSTANDING!!! It works!! Thank you very much.

One more minor problem i have is i want to keep the data visable after the user enters it.

input1 to be empty, then when the user types in the data and clicks on Save it will 1. check to see if the data is already in there and 2. if not, then display data just entered.

I am working on this now that I know the ENTER problem.

Any advice on how to tackle this challenge?

Look at InputBox() it's very simple.

If you want more elaborated GUI dialog then definitely look at Koda GUI form designer
