[tsue]

hello, i have been doing a program and i have a problem in this part of the program. i need to save marie in a txt file once for every a pressed but i need to do it with this coding

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Process.au3>



While 1

    $key = _Isenter(1)
    If $key Then FileWrite("new.txt", $key)

WEnd


Func _Isenter($UseNames = 0)

$names = ("marie")
        
                If _IsPressed(41) Then
            If $UseNames Then
                Return $names

            Else
                Return 1

            EndIf
        EndIf


EndFunc

any help will be apretiated. thanks

tsue,

I presume your problemis that you are getting multiple "marie"s each time you press "a".

You need to wait until the "a" key is released before returning from the function. Your PC is so fast that even the most rapid keypress will result in multiple hits on the function.

It is easy to do:

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Process.au3>

While 1

    $key = _Isenter(1)
    If $key Then FileWrite("new.txt", $key)

WEnd

Func _Isenter($UseNames = 0)

    $names = ("marie")
    If _IsPressed(41) Then
        While _IsPressed(41)
            Sleep(10)
        WEnd
        If $UseNames Then
            Return $names
        Else
            Return 1
        EndIf
    EndIf

    Sleep(10)

EndFunc   ;==>_Isenter

I have also added some Sleep statements to keep your CPU from maxing out.

I hope this helps.

Why just like that? It's an absurd way to perform that function. Why not just:

While 1
     If _IsPressed("41") Then FileWrite("new.txt", "marie")
     Sleep(500)
WEnd

Or is the real intent to log lots of keys, or even all of them...

thanks for the help, it worked the only thing i notice was that if i let the a pressed it will only write marie once its not really that i need it to write multiple times as i press the a but how could i make it work that way

to the melba thanks for the help too and im not trying to log keys im tring log names like shorkcuts in this scrip

[Melba23]

tsue,

i need it to write multiple times as i press the a

Your script already wrote multiple "marie"s to the file - did you even look?

And do not confuse me with the rakishly good-looking water fowl - we are birds of a very different feather!

yes i checked im sorry if i didnt express correctly

ok the thing ive notice is if i press a it will write marie only once, with my old program it writes multiple maries

but if i let the a pressed like for 5 seconds it will only write marie once, i was yust asking if it can work more like a normal way, its not really neccesary but i like programs to be made really good

example

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i let the a pressed for about 3 seconds there were 25 a's so there will be 25 marie so it can act with a normal behavior

thanks

[Melba23]

tsue,

The easiest way to get your key to do that is to use a HotKey - then you get the normal typematic repeat behaviour, which seems to be what you want:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")

HotKeySet("a", "new_a")

Global $iCount = 0

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func new_a()
    $iCount += 1
    ConsoleWrite("marie " & $iCount & @CRLF)
    ;FileWrite("new.txt", "marie")
EndFunc

Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

I used ConsoleWrite so you could see what is going on - just delete that line (and the lines dealing with $iCount) and uncomment the FileWrite line when you want it to write to the file.

thanks, im now using hotkey, is the form to diference a from A when caps if active in hotkeys so that if i press a it writes marie and if i press A marie aria montaqiu

tsue,

When you reply please use the "Add Reply" button at the top and bottom of the page rather then the "Reply" button in the post itself. That way you do not get the contents of the previous post quoted in your reply and the whole thread becomes easier to read.

Search the forum for "+detect +caps +lock" - there are lots of examples. And if you want to know if the shift key is down, just use _IsPressed a second time.

Time for you to do some work now - come back if you run into difficulty.

hello, thanks for all the help i found a way to

If _GetCapsLock() Then MsgBox(0, "Key State", "Caps Lock is On")

Func _GetCapsLock()
    Local $ret
    $ret = DllCall("user32.dll","long","GetKeyState","long",$VK_CAPITAL)
    Return $ret[0]
EndFunc

i have doubt is it possible to active more than one isactive like if i press

a followed by a b it writes marie you have misstyped

i tried this but i cant make it work

While 1
    If _IsPressed("41") &  _IsPressed("42")  Then
    MsgBox(0,"error", "misstyped")
    EndIf
Sleep(100)
Wend

tsue,

First, go and check the syntax for AND - you will find it under <Language Reference - Operators>. A hint - it is not &.

Anyway, you need something like this:

#include <Misc.au3>

Global Const $VK_CAPITAL = 0x14

While 1
    If _IsPressed("41") Then
        If _IsPressed("10")  Or _GetCapsLock() Then
            ConsoleWrite("marie aria montaqiu" & @CRLF)
        Else
            ConsoleWrite("marie" & @CRLF)
        EndIf
    EndIf
Sleep(10)
Wend

Func _GetCapsLock()
    Local $ret
    $ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "GetKeyState", "long", $VK_CAPITAL)
    Return $ret[0]
EndFunc
