Beginner Script

[iSeeCream]

Hi, im new to autoit and i made a script that goes like this,

ProgressOn("Loading...", "Please wait while it is loading", "0 percent")
For $i = 5 to 100 step 5
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " percent")
Next
ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
sleep(500)
ProgressOff()
Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("Hello, thank you for testing my script. This script was made by Daniel Yi. It has no purpose except to be a test for my script.")

But, the text loads too quickly. Is there a way i can slow the rate of the text being entered? Sorry, im just a beginner

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 75)

Put that at the top of your script.

Cool thanks, but now i have another problem, how can i make the text only appear in notepad?

cause if i open another program, such as msn, it will start typing in there, any suggestions?

another way to skin that particular cat besides control send is controlsettext. that way you can make sure to append what you want to the text already there exactly the way you want it regardless of the cursor position.
