Type Field

[BulletMonk]

How do I make a field for people to type a word in?

And what is the script to make that word appear in my nect msgbox?

InputBox, MyVariable, Question, What is your name?
MsgBox, 64, Message, Your name is %MyVariable%.

Thanks a bunch.

Do you by any chance have a collection of scripts you could send me?I mean simple scripts.

Learning from examples is the best way to learn.

You can find a list of AutoIt v2.x example scripts here, but I would strongly suggest upgrading to v3 because you'll have a relatively gigantic wealth of resources available to you.

OOps,wrong forum.i do have v3.

By the way, the script you wrote doesn't work.

Delete this please and reply in the v3 support

Tried it with v2? Works like a charm.

Can I get the the input to get typed into my dos utility?

Right now my script is like:

Send, D:{ENTER}

Send, CD\\DOSPGRM{ENTER}

Send, UTILITY{ENTER 2}

Send, DAT\\DOSDATFILE.DAT{ENTER}

Send, {RIGHT}{ENTER}

send, OUTPUTFILE{ENTER 2}

Send, {ESC}

Like can i Send,"myvariable" vs. Send, dat\\dosdatfile.dat

Thank you.

Perhaps this will work for you:

Send, D:{ENTER}
Send, CD\\DOSPGRM{ENTER}
Send, UTILITY{ENTER 2}
Send, %MyVariable%{ENTER}
Send, {RIGHT}{ENTER}
send, OUTPUTFILE{ENTER 2}
Send, {ESC}

Good luck!
