The result is different for each run

[black_key]

AutoIt v3.3.14.5

$targetHost = "127.0.0.1"

$targetPort = "5000"

$dataBase = "big"

Run("notepad.exe")
Send("{UP}{UP}{SPACE}{TAB}{UP}{UP}{UP}{UP}")
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

$cmd = StringFormat("aaATALOG TCPIP NODE %s REMOTE %s SERVER %s OSTYPE WIN;CATALOG DATABASE %s AT NODE %s", $dataBase, $targetHost, $targetPort, $dataBase, $dataBase)
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "Edit1", $cmd)
sleep(1000)

Is this a bug?

Well, not surprising since you are SendIng keystrokes to whatever happens to be in focus at that moment, which could be anything including the program you started right before.

Why not do your sending after the window is opened, and at least use controlsend?

Ok I'll bite... what were your trying to do?  What changed between runs for you.

As far as I can tell both notepad runs looked the same.  You'll need to help us help you.

The uppercase and lowercase letters are random, but suddenly they are normal, and I can't reproduce them, the person in front of me may have reproduced them

Sounds like a pattern is emerging.

Can you check the people to the left and right of you, and of course anyone directly behind you?

Use ControlSetText() instead of ControlSend().
