i send a path with auto_send and this path change on the moment to search the file

[Cinostroza]

Hi,

Hi, I'm using autoit with python to send files by whatsApp. At the time of sending the route in some cases the characters change from (\) to (') or (:) to (.)

Any idea what is happening?

Have you checked the value of Imagepath from within Python? Why is there an "r" inside the left parentheses?

[JLogan3o13]

r in python denotes the string as raw.

I tried saving the route as a string and it still throws me the same error. In addition every time I send the route I print it to see the value of the variable and there is no problem. In addition, this problem does not always occur, in most occasions the route is well written

Have you tried setting mode equal to 1 instead of the default of 0?

[Cinostroza]

 

sorry I did not understand what you mean with the setting mode at 0 or 1, where did that parameter change?

[Danp2]

You stated that you are using Python and Autoit, and based on the structure of your code I assumed that you are using PyAutoit. Correct?

The Autoitx ControlSend function supports an optional flag parameter. This appears to be implemented in PyAutoit as "mode" instead of "flag" --

def control_send(title, control, send_text, mode=0, **kwargs):

so I was suggesting that you try changing your code to --

autoit.control_send("Abrir", "Edit1", Imagepath, 1)

and then test to see if the issue reoccurs.

I tried what you told me and I didn't succeed

[Danp2]

Sorry, but your description is lacking as "didn't succeed" could have so many different meanings. I'm going to assume that you meant that the code ran fine but it exhibited the same behavior as before.

No matter... this isn't an area where I have much experience, so I don't know how to assist you further until you can identify a way to reliably repeat the issue.
