Hi,

The script should read up to 4 lines from a text file, then paste the output in to an application. However, it always seems to skip line 2 with the below code. But it doesn't skip the line if use ClipGet with MsgBox instead of the application. I've no idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried adding a few sleep commands to make sure it had enough time but that didn't work..

Any help is appreciated.

why r you using clipGet and Clipput when you have a variable with the value already stored in it??

ControlSend("SC7007_01", "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6TextBox; INSTANCE:3]", $line_read )

 

add a msgbox before you send the info to make sure you have the correct output.

it could be that the app you r using is blocking the input cuz it has characters it does not accept.

I'll try that thanks, although I would still expect ClipGet to give the same answer.

Its not being rejected, its always a 12 digit number, ive re-arranged numbers in the file andnit only skips the second line.

Try ConsoleWrite.

What do you see?

Hi,

This can be closed now. I managed to get this working using ControlFocus. I also took the advice of Kidney to clean up the code. Thanks everyone.
