Sending variables as key presses

[danbowden]

I am new to scripting in AutoIT3 but I have written a script that recieves input from a user and I attempt to use this input in a web form later but when I use

send ( $userid )

nothing happens. $userid is the variable that stores the string that the user entered in an input box.

$userid = InputBox("Question", "What is your UserID?", "", "", _

-1, -1, 0, 0)

I know it is storing the data bacause it is displayed in another messagebox later. Does the variable have to be a sertain data type or anything like that?

If you could let me know your experience with this.

Kind regards

Please post your entire script or atleast a small example where you can display the problem. From what you have currently we can not help.

I use this type of script often. Problems that you may encounter is that the input that is suppose to receive the $userid does not have the focus.
