Lookup these functions and have a go:

For...Next

Chr()

No need to guess when you have the help file up and running.

But yes, it stands for character. Check its reference page for more information. Here are all the ASCII codes:

Looking at the help files i came up with this

$text = ""
For $i = 97 to 122 Step 1
    $text = $text & Chr($i)
Next
MsgBox(0, "Uppercase alphabet", $text)

however this just opens a msg box with abcdefg.... etc. I need it so first time a msg box will show with a, i close it then one with b opens, etc. How would i go about changing my code for this to work?

EDIT

sleep(2000)
$text = ""
For $i = 97 to 122 Step 1
   send("Text sample , letter $i")
Next

so far i think this will work, however it types Text sample , letter $i, how do i tell it not to type $a but to find its value if you understand what i mea

PS: Thanks d4ni

For $i = 97 to 122 ; Lowercase = 65 through 90
    $text = Chr($i)
    MsgBox(0, "Uppercase alphabet", $text)
Next

Although that's not uppercase, it's lowercase

Btw, use autoit tags, not code tags

I didn't see that edit of yours, but to answer the question:

The easiest way it to use this:

Sleep(2000)
For $i = 97 to 122
   Send("Text sample , letter " & $i) ; Or you can set AutoitSetOption(ExpandVarStrings, 1) and use "Text sample, letter $i$" -- notice the 2nd $ though.

i used

sleep(2000)
$text = ""
For $i = 97 to 122 Step 1
   send("Text sample , letter " & $i)
Next

and it works great thanks

i need this for my website, im adding photos to a page, and i have 150+ photos labeled a b c d etc, then aa ab ac so this will speed up my coding no end

[Noobcube]

ive come across another issue, the code i need to send it

<td><a href='becciresize/$text$".jpg' target='_new' title='Click to enlarge'>

<img src='becciresize/$text$.jpg' width=100 height=75 border=0></a>

<br>

Photo1</td>

however its coming up with the error

C:\Users\TomHart0\Desktop\alphabet.au3 (15) : ==> Unterminated string.:

send("<td><a href='becciresize/$text$".jpg' target='_new' title='Click to enlarge'>

im guessing thats because it has <> in it, is there a way i can get it to type all that out include referencing $text$ to tput the letters a,b,d etc in it

thanks

Show the whole record where you have the error on, but in general: When you need a double quote inside a String that has double quotes at the start end end you need to double them up.

eg: this string: test "a" example

should be: $test = "test ""a"" example"

If you are doing this for a website, you might look into learning PHP or another web scripting language. It'll give you much more flexibility for your website, and make your webpage code *much* easier to read.
