Input / Output

[PabeckTricker]

Hello guys,

in beforehand: I have used autoit successfully in the past, but i am not very experienced.

Anyway what i would like to realize is this:

A script that i can run in the background and which gives an output (e.g a postalcode) based on input.  Also

i would like to implement a pause and escape function.  This is how far i have come from searching:

___________________________________________________________________________________

 

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

;Body  ( Now how do i write the "if i enter Q or W or etc. then  send "52074" )
While 1
 ?

?
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = Not $Paused
     While $Paused
        Sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"', 0, 0)
    WEnd
   
   
   
   Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Also for some reason i seem to be lacking an Endfunc but i can identify where.

Can someone help me ? 

Kind regards,

Patrick

You have to end function TogglePause before starting a new function. You can't nest functions.

Hi PabeckTricker,

  This looks like the Example from the Help File... Except you took out the part that you need

Put back the "Show Message: Hotkey and change it to do what you want.

Try an InputBox and then have a look at  Select Case or Switch case to change the out come from the input.

If you get stuck, you know where we are....

Good luck !

On second glance, you may not need this:

Try an InputBox and then have a look at  Select Case or Switch case to change the out come from the input.

If all you want to do is send Postal Codes when a key is pressed.

Bu t I would consider using ALT or CTRL together with the key otherwise normal typing will be impossible....

Hi Bill, yes this is what i found after googling. I tried as far as i came.  And regarding the normal typing thats what i would like to have the "pause" function for. But in general its filling in stupid tables so pressing alt+ctrl everytime would be a pain in the ass.

You have to end function TogglePause before starting a new function. You can't nest functions.

 

"Nest functions" ?

I'm afraid the pause function in the HotKeySet will not serve this purpose. Recently found that out myself...

Maybe use the F keys instead. F2, F3 etc

 

"Nest functions" ? 

You removed one or more of the FUNC ENDFUNC Declarations causing a nested Function (Function within a function)
