Is there a way to sense key presses in a specific order?

If, for example, I wanted to make my script sense ABC, but not AGBDEC, is there an easy way to do this? (Preferably without 3rd party software)

Thanks for any help in advance!

I understand why you might see this as a key logger, but a key logger would write to a file the keys pressed. I only want to sense a specific sequence, EG: abc triggers true, f or t or abec triggers false

What you're still asking about is monitoring and recording key presses by whomever has the script running on their computer. It's so close to a keylogger that if you researched how to write one you would find the solution to your problem quite easily.

You will not get any help with a script like this.

What I want(in conjunction with another program), is for me to be able to control the brightness of my wireless light bulb by typing a 'password' (eg. 1234) followed by the brightness on a scale of 0-9, using the keys 0-9.

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds legit to me.
