Inputfile and HotKeySet don't work with @

[anca 0]

I would send 10 user defined hotkey-values and I use for this the following input.ini - file:

[HKey1]
key=my.email@yahoo.com
[HKey2]
key=contractnummber8829918
[HKey3]
key=ID472995sdf
[HKey4]
key=
[HKey5]
key=
[HKey6]
key=
[HKey7]
key=
[HKey8]
key=
[HKey9]
key=
[HKey0]
key=

The first hotkey don't work with the @ in the emailaddress. If I use this hotkey it sends to the application a wrong character:   my.email²yahoo.com

All other hotkey's are working fine.

What have I to change on my code?

Global $fPaused = False

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("+!1", "Msg1") ; Shift-Alt-1

Perhaps something to do with language or keyboard layout.

Hi anca,

  I tested your code and got a " for the @ so there is soemthing fishy.

I think it must have something to do with the way your pc is saving your ini file.

try this reproducer and see what your results are:

HotKeySet("{F1}", "_iniwrite")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "_iniread")

Global $HostName = "myemail@yahoo.com"

While 1
        Sleep(1000)
WEnd


Func _iniwrite()
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\login.ini", "login", "HostName", $HostName)
EndFunc

Func _iniread()
$HostName = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\login.ini", "login", "HostName", "Default Value")
ConsoleWrite("$HostName =  " & $HostName & @CRLF)
EndFunc

INI file looks like:

[login]
HostName=myemail@yahoo.com

Thank you l3ill

With your tip and using the ControlSend function I solved my problem!
