Command Line / Shell Help

[funkinater]

I am brand new to AutoIt, but was told this might be the tool I need to accomplish this task. I have a utility that I run daily (let's call it "x.exe" for purposes of this discussion) that, once ran from a command line, I always do the same keystrokes:

* Type CV

* Press Enter

* Type 3

* Press Enter

* Type Y

* Press Enter

Can some of you more experienced AutoIt guys point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this using an AutoIt script? Thanks for your help...

open help file

on Index tupe "Send" and after you do some examples from the help file for that command and read remarks try "ControlSend"

Edit: and there is also "ShellExecute" and "Run" in help file if i did not understand your question correctly.

Run this script, when in the program, press Shift F5

HotKeySet("!{F5}","SendXKeystrokes")

While 1
    Sleep(15)
WEnd

Func SendXKeystrokes()
    Send("CV{enter}3{enter}Y{enter}")
EndFunc
