First attempt to code anything - need help with Do Until

[noobcoder]

Hello,

To put it simple I'm trying to figure out a way to loop through the alphabet so I can try different key combination. I created a key and now I'm trying to figure out how to have it loop through the global part.. for example, on the first try it does $1 second try $2 etc. I high light and explain the part of the code I need help with below.

Global $1 = "a"
Global $2 = "b"
Global $3 = "c"
Global $4 = "a"
Global $5 = "d"
Global $6 = "e"
Global $7 = "f"
Global $8 = "g"
Global $9 = "h"
Global $10 = "i"
Global $11 = "j"
Global $12 = "k"
Global $13 = "l"
Global $14 = "m"
Global $15 = "n"
Global $16 = "o"
Global $17 = "p"
Global $18 = "q"
Global $19 = "r"
Global $20 = "s"
Global $21 = "t"
Global $22 = "u"
Global $23 = "v"
Global $24 = "w"
Global $25 = "x"
Global $26 = "y"
Global $27 = "z"

Local $message = 0
Do
Sleep(5000)
Send("{BS}")
Sleep(150)
Send("{BS}")
Sleep(150)
Send("{q}")
Sleep(150)
Send(<<< hmm) ; This is where I need help. I know I can not put just $message or else it will just give me 1, 2 3 etc right? Not $1, $2 which would translate to a, b etc which is what I need. I was thinking something like Send($ & $message) but of course that syntax does not work. 
sleep(150)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(400)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(400)
$message = $message + 1
until $message = 27

Something like this could get ya started:

$ALPHABET = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
$ARRAY = StringSplit($ALPHABET, "")

For $i = 1 to $ARRAY[0]
Send('' & $ARRAY[$i])
Next

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum,

A good place to start learning AutoIt is the Wiki.

Have a look at the Getting started and the Tutorials sections.

You need something like:

Global $sAlphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
$aAlphabet = StringSplit($sAlphabet, "")
For $iIndex = 1 to $aAlphabet[0]
    ConsoleWrite($aAlphabet[$iIndex] & @LF)
Next

Ahh thanks for the replys! This should set me in the right path, I feel really, really inefficient after seeing your two example codes.. so much code on my end and all over the place for so little.

It won't take too much time and you will code as efficient as we do

For $i = 97 To 122
    Send(Chr($i))
