Is This Possible ?

[YpR^]

Is it possible to make a script which start Notepad and simulate the keystroke of:

____

(. \

\ |

\ |___(\--/)

__/ ( . . )

"'._. '-.O.'

'-. \ "|\

'.,, / '.,,

f.ex... can't use the "send" command coz it says error.... if i f.eks. use

send(" (")(")HELLO(")(") ")

I get the errors coz of the "(")" .... while they're a command too

What to do ? =)

my ascii pic seems to fade away ... but hope u get the point,..

did you try to do this manually ???

because i think that Notepad only takes one font for all its characters...

yes, autoit help file, usually in C:\Program Files\Autoit3\

you could read in the

[FONT=Courier] ____
(. \
\ | 
\ |___(\--/)
__/ ( . . )
"'._. '-.O.'
'-. \ "|\
'.,, / '.,,
[FONT=Times]

stuff from a textfile for example.

But check the docs

Read the helpfile to figure this out:

$x=StringReplace(StringReplace('[FONT=Courier] ____#(. \#\ |#\ |___(\--/)#__/ ( . . )#"?._. ?-.O.?#?-. \ "|\#?.,, / ?.,,#[FONT=Times]','?',"'"),'#',@crlf)
send($x,1)

Read the helpfile to figure this out:

$x=StringReplace(StringReplace('[FONT=Courier] ____#(. \#\ |#\ |___(\--/)#__/ ( . . )#"?._. ?-.O.?#?-. \ "|\#?.,, / ?.,,#[FONT=Times]','?',"'"),'#',@crlf)
send($x,1)

Now that's a useful trick.

I usually end up doing

$x = "first line" & @CRLF

$x = $x & "line 2" & @CRLF

$x = $x & "and so on" & @CRLF

P.S. When I first saw that code, I thought I landed in a Perl forum

When I saw that I didn't know where the hell I landed, so at least you were more coherent than me...

That does look rather useful. I bet you $5 I'll be using that tomorrow when I write a script with 2 embedded batch files.

why does it press {Enter} twicer after every stroke ? ....

ffffff

ffffff

ffffff

instead of

ffffff

ffffff

ffffff

The macro @CRLF is actually two characters (@CR & @LF.) Try using just one, or use the {ENTER} in your Send() function.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Run("Notepad.exe")
WinWait("Notepad")
ControlSend ("Notepad","","Edit1",_
"[FONT=Courier] ____{enter}" &_
"(. \ {enter}" &_
"\ | {enter}" &_
"\ |___(\--/){enter}" &_
"__/ ( . . ){enter}" &_
"""'._. '-.O.'{enter}" &_
"'-. \ ""|\{enter}" &_
"'.,, / '.,,{enter}" &_
"[FONT=Times]" )

It seemed so easy to me, that I am afraid that I lost something...

[scriptkitty]

My version on all my computers never double the line spaces. Might be your appilication, but you can use the {enter} if you wish as well.

$x=StringReplace(StringReplace('[FONT=Courier] ____#(. \#\ |#\ |___(\--/)#__/ ( . . )#"?._. ?-.O.?#?-. \ "|\#?.,, / ?.,,#[FONT=Times]','?',"'"),'#',"{enter}")
send($x)

However if you had any of the modifier keys It won't work. !^+ etc.

send(StringReplace("LLL#lll#LLL#lll","#",@CRLF),1)

Does this code give you:

LLL

lll

LLL

lll

or

LLL

lll

LLL

lll

???

There are no characters in that ASCII picture which jump out at me, but keep in mind that if a #, ^, +, or ! appear, they will be treated as WinKey, Control, Shift and Alt respectively, and not as those literal characters.
