is it possible to capture keys from ControlSend()?

[failedtocompile]

Hi Guys,

Just checking if it is possible to capture just the send key part of ControlSend()

I am wanting to output just the keys pressed to a tooltip(), of which i have a collection of about 50 varying keys, so don't want to create a variable for each set of keys in a ControlSend,

and possibly further filter out {ENTER} and {SPACE} using StringRegExp?

My pseudo code

$command = ControlSend("Terminal Window", "", "", "test{SPACE}this{ENTER}")
_IsPressed($command) //check for last keys pressed
  $keyspressed = last keys pressed
tooltip($keyspressed)
clear last keys pressed

$command = ControlSend("Terminal Window", "", "", "testing123{SPACE}this{ENTER}")
check for last keys pressed
  $keyspressed = last keys pressed
tooltip($keyspressed)
Clear last keys pressed

If you could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks

Use your imagination.

Example:

Func ControlSendAndToolTipMuahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahhaha($sText)
    ControlSend("Terminal Window", "", "", $sText)
    tooltip($sText)
EndFunc

to get rid of the {ENTER} and {SPACE}:

#include <string.au3>

$originalmessage = "test{SPACE}this{ENTER}"
$newmessage = StringRegExpReplace ($originalmessage, "{SPACE}", "")
$newmessage = StringRegExpReplace ($newmessage, "{ENTER}", "")

MsgBox(0, "", $newmessage)

AdmiralAlkex, thanks for your help.

the snippet of code below, is what I came up with and it works really well

While 1
Tooltip($test "Running"',0,0, $counter, 1)
IF NOT WinActive($test,"") THEN
send("{PAUSE}")
ENDIF
$command = testControlSend("test{SPACE}tk101{ENTER}")
sleep($sendDelay)
IF NOT WinActive($test,"") THEN
send("{PAUSE}")
ENDIF
testControlSend("test{SPACE}tk102{ENTER}")
sleep($sendDelay)
IF NOT WinActive($test,"") THEN
send("{PAUSE}")
ENDIF
testControlSend("test{SPACE}tk103{ENTER}")
sleep($sendDelay)
IF NOT WinActive($test,"") THEN
send("{PAUSE}")
ENDIF
Wend

func testControlSend ($sText)
    ControlSend($test, "", "", $sText)

EndFunc

I was trying to avoid the term "k3Y7oo9er" = "key" "log***"

So thanks to you and sleepydvdr for his Regexp example.

have a great weekend.
