Problems with Alt Key

[Knightsman]

Thanks in advance.

I just installed AutoIT and was going through the tutorials. I'm stuck on the "Simple Notepad Automation". I have Vista Business SP2. I cannot for the life of me get it to close and save the note pad. The screen comes up do you want to save, and the script just stops, but stays running in the processes. This is the code, and Its exactly the same as the tutorial, but the alt does not work. Please help! Thanks again.

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Send("This is some text.")

WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")

WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save")

Send("!n")

Change WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save") to WinWaitActive("Notepad").

The text part ('Do you want to save') is what's holding up the script, not the send part.

Awesome! That worked. What was the tutorial talking about? Did I miss something when it said to add it?

Thanks a bunch, now I can keep learning

The example codes in the Help file were written before Microsoft changed the 'text' part that is now displayed.
