Need some basic help.

[IrishPride]

Hey guys,

I've been using AutoIt for some time now, and I've had hardly any problems until recently. If this is the wrong section for this post; I apologize, as it does associate with GUI settings. Anyways, I've been recently messing around with some settings, and I'm wondering how to associate sending a text string into an external application, i.e World of Warcraft.

Furthermore, I am wondering how to send something such as "Buying", or any text within the input box, to the external program. I've tried many different settings, such as

Send($Input)or Send("$input")

However, Send($Input) always sends "4" to the window, as Send("$Input") just types out "$Input".

Any solutions?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your quick response!

I understand why you would not support such discussion, and I suppose that was a bad example; however I was planning on using the script for a variety purposes, i.e: email/text messenger, or an automatic google search with the designated input, etc. My apologies for persuading an unsupported topic.

If you want to send a simple string to a specific window then you can use:

winactivate("title", "", )

Send("yourmsghere")

..

you can also create a variable like:

$input="yourmsghere"

and then

Send($input) - - without the ""

hope it helped

Send("") Will send whats between the "-s in raw text.

So if you type Send("$input") you get $input.

And if you type send($input) then it will send whatever the variable holds.
