Send keys is not taking !

[ur]

If you observe in below code.

Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=$time_out)
    Logging("Waiting for "&$title&":"&$text)
    $dHandle = WinWait($title,$text,$timeout)
    if not ($dHandle = 0) then
        If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text)
        WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout)
    Else
        Logging("Timeout occured while waiting for the window...")
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc


WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
$p = "Notallowed1!!"
Send("{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}"& $p &"{ENTER}create{SPACE}database{SPACE}"& $p &";{ENTER}")

In the notepad if you observe, ! is missing in the text got.

 

Is there way to get that also printed.

@ur Dog ate your help file? Look at Send, there is a flag to send the raw keys; otherwise when you send a ! you're telling AutoIt to hit ALT.

[Simpel]

So you have to mask ! (which means "ALT")  with {!}.

WinActivate("Unbenannt - Editor")
Local $p = 'Notallowed1{!}'
Send("{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}"& $p &"{ENTER}create{SPACE}database{SPACE}"& $p &";{ENTER}")

Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout= 5)
    Local $dHandle = WinWait($title,$text,$timeout)
    if not ($dHandle = 0) then
        If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text)
        WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout)
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

Expand  

THanks for your input Logan.

 

But the output will be as below.
{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}Notallowed1!{ENTER}create{SPACE}database{SPACE}Notallowed1!;{ENTER}

Even the {ENTER} will be interpreted as rawkeys.

My question :

Is there anyway to send !. I mean only exclamation mark.

Then you do as Simpel suggested and mask it with {}.
