type text script with key bind

[floz94]

Hey, I was wondering if someone can write me a simple script that would press enter - type text - press enter again when pressed binded key,

Consider reviewing this posting below and see if your solution is there. I would also recommend reading how to use _IsPressed and  Send("") functions.

send() >

I'm trying to make this work, but for some reason I cant compile this, can you find why?

 

Quote

HotKeySet("{10}", "_Toggle1")

Global $Toggle1 = False

While 1
    If $Toggle1 Then SendInfo (" PM for more information. "))
    Sleep(50)
WEnd
;
Func SendInfo ($text)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send($text)
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(1000)
EndFunc   ;==>SendInfo
;
Func _Toggle1 ()
    $Toggle1 = Not $Toggle1
EndFunc   ;==>_Toggle1
;
Func _Exit ()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

It looks like your syntax and structure is not correct. What kind of program are you trying to automate? Your current script isn't setting an active screen to write to and because it's in a while loop it'll write for ever. I'll post an example script that you can take a look at. I would recommend using the WinActive  function to activate the desired screen before using send("...") to write.

Example script:

_IsPressed Codes > https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_IsPressed.htm

;
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{F5}", "Terminate")

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("10", $hDLL) Then ; This is the Shift key << press to hold
        ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was pressed." & @CRLF)
        Run("notepad.exe")
        WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
        Send("This is some text.")
        ; Wait until key is released.
        While _IsPressed("10", $hDLL)

        WEnd
        ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was released." & @CRLF)
    ElseIf _IsPressed("1B", $hDLL) Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "_IsPressed", "The Esc Key was pressed, therefore we will close the application.")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

DllClose($hDLL)

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

@floz94,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Unfortunately you appear to have missed the Forum rules on your way in. (there is also a link in my signature) 
Please read them now particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - and then you will understand why you will get no help and this thread will now be locked.

Also see that patience isn't your strongest point. Make sure you get some when continuing in these forums. 

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.

Jos
