Problem after compiling script

[AndreasVliegen]

Hello,

When I viewed the helpfile of AutoIt, I found something interesting...the send function ...

Then I tried to make it my own, so I made this script:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Send("H")

Sleep(100)

Send("e")

Sleep(100)

Send("l")

Sleep(100)

Send("l")

Sleep(100)

Send("o")

Sleep(100)

Send(" ")

Sleep(100)

Send("w")

Sleep(100)

Send("a")

Sleep(100)

Send("z")

Sleep(100)

Send("z")

Sleep(100)

Send("u")

Sleep(100)

Send("p")

Sleep(100)

Send("?")

WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")

WinWaitActive("Notepad", "The text in the Untitled file has changed")

Send("!n")

Exit

When I doubleclick on the .au3-file it workes perfect, but when I compile it to an executable and I doubleclick on the executable, it runs itself again and again, until my computer crashes! After 5 seconds, the file has loaded itself 50 times or so..

What did I do wrong in my second script?

Sorry if my English is worthless, I'm Dutch

Greetings ,

Andreas

You named your script "notepad.exe" so its running itself, not the program Notepad.

You can do all the sends at once

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("Hello wazzup?")
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad", "The text in the Untitled file has changed")
Send("!n")
Exit

Yes, I know, but I want to make the program as if the letters were typed..

Of course, why didn't I think of that?

Thank you very much,

Andreas

Add "Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200)" above the example I gave.
