How is this not possible?

Is there any work around this?

I am trying to find out how I could make a variable go into a Send().

IE.

Send ($Variablehere)

I have checked the help file and found that this:

$x = Chr(65)

Send("{" & $x & " 4}")

does not help me.

I am trying to send numbers... ie:

$n = 12345

Send($n)

Case $test_button

$DB2 = FileOpen("Db2.db",1)
$read5_1 = 987654321
$read5_2 = 123456789

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("DB2 - Notepad","")
If Not WinActive("DB2 - Notepad","") Then WinActivate("DB2 - Notepad","")
WinWaitActive("DB2 - Notepad","")
MouseMove(32,152)
MouseDown("left")
MouseMove(12,151)
MouseUp("left")
Send($read5_1)
MouseMove(98,150)
MouseDown("left")
MouseMove(77,155)
MouseUp("left")
Send($read5_2)
FileClose($DB2)

If I remove the first two lines and the last line then what you posted works.

Also

$n = 12345
Send($n)

is fine.

I don't know what this

$x = Chr(65)
 Send("{" & $x & " 4}")

was for , but if you want to send the letter A then

$x = Chr(65)
Send("{ASC " & 65 & "}")

would do it.

To do your error checking, I suggest sending your variable to the console as well as to the keyboard. Do this for both assigning the variable and the send command. For instance:

$n = FileReadLine($file, 2)

ConsoleWrite($n & @CRLF) ;Write $n to console (read in bottom of SCITE)

Send($n)

ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF) ;Write error level to console

In this case, if $n returns a string, then you need to check your file. If it returns 1, your FileReadLine wasn't set up correctly. Make sure you are using the handle from a previous FileOpen command. If the error turns up in Send, you'll have a whole different issue. The problem likely lies in FileReadLine, as the file has to be open first.

this is what I have for a test script:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 625, 443, 517, 170)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 144, 96, 65, 65, $WS_GROUP)

$file = FileOpen("city_cord.db", 0)
$test = FileReadLine($file, 1)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($test, 160, 216, 73, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
;$file = FileOpen("city_cord.db", 0)

;$test = FileReadLine($file, 2)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Button1


; Check if file opened for reading OK
            If $file = -1 Then
                MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
                Exit
            EndIf
$test = FileReadLine($file, 1)
MsgBox(0, "d", $test = FileReadLine($file, 1))

            ;MsgBox(0, "Test", $test)

; Read in lines of text until the EOF (End of File) is reached

;While 1
 ;   $line = FileReadLine($file)
    ;If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

    ;MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)
;Wend
;FileClose($file)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

this returns a msg box that comes up and says "True". but I dont want it to come up true or false, i want it to come back with a string that i want to display.

is this possible? i figure if this works with the msgbox, it should work with the Send($test).

what do you all think?

Your MsgBox parameters are not what I think you think they are :)

Instead of 

MsgBox(0, "d", $test = FileReadLine($file, 1))

you should have

MsgBox(0, "d", "$test = " & $test);which you have already tried, or similar.

EDIT:Oops wrong code posted at first.
