Issue sending

[Yekim]

 I've been looking at help files and messing around for a bit and I can't seem to make it work properly.

Is it possible for me to have a variable equal to '+1' and then use that to have my script send Shift+1?

This is what I've been trying so far.

Edit: (I Don't need the variable to equal +1, but I want to be able to send shift keys that will be variable, I'm unsure of how you would need to save the variable, or if I have to go all out with If commands.)

HotKeySet( "{F1}" , "_Start")
HotKeySet( "{F2}" , "_Stop")

Global $Active = 0

While 1
   if $Active = 1 Then
      Global $step = '+1'
      Send("{"& $step &"}")
      $Active = 0
   EndIf
WEnd
   
Func _Start()
   $Active = 1
EndFunc
   
Func _Stop
      Exit
EndFunc

Which program do you try to automate?

Often there are more reliable ways to do what you want to do.
