Same code, different result each time

Hey all, I just put together some basic code to send messages to a flightsim.

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Usage", "lockonmsg.exe /t (team) or /a (all) message")
    
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/?" Then
    MsgBox(0, "Usage", "lockonmsg.exe /t (team) or /a (all) message")
    
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/ver" Then
    MsgBox(0, "Version", "v0.94")
    
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/a" Then
    $msg1 = "{CTRLDOWN}m{CTRLUP}"
    _ActiveLockon()
    Sleep(1000)
    Send($msg1)
    Sleep(500)
    Send($CmdLine[2], 1)
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send($msg1)
    
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/t" Then
    $msg1 = "{ALTDOWN}m{ALTUP}"
    _ActiveLockon()
    Sleep(1000)
    Send($msg1)
    Sleep(500)
    Send($CmdLine[2], 1)
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send($msg1)
    
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/stat" Then
    $LockonPath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On", "Path")
    ;MsgBox(0, "LockonPath", "= " & $LockonPath)
    $ExportDir = "\temp\"
    $ExportFile = ($LockonPath & $ExportDir &"export.log")
    ;MsgBox(0, "Export File", "= " & $File)
    $Lines = _FileCountLines($ExportFile)
    ;MsgBox(0, "Lines", "Export has: " & $Lines)
    $Readline = $Lines - 1
    ;Get Stat line from LUA export log
    $file = FileOpen($ExportFile, 0)
    ; Check if file opened for reading OK
    If $file = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $Readline)
    FileClose($file)
    MsgBox(0, "Lines", "Line is: " & $line)
    
    $msg1 = "{ALTDOWN}m{ALTUP}"
    ;$msg2 = $CmdLine[2]
    _ActiveLockon()
    ;Send("{CTRLDOWN}m{CTRLUP}blah{ENTER}{CTRLDOWN}m{CTRLUP}")
    Sleep(1000)
    Send($msg1)
    Sleep(500)
    Send($line,1)
    Sleep(1000)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(500)
    Send($msg1)
EndIf

Func _FileCountLines($sFilePath)
    Local $N = FileGetSize($sFilePath) - 1
    If @error Or $N = -1 Then Return 0
    Return StringLen(StringAddCR(FileRead($sFilePath, $N))) - $N + 1
EndFunc

Func _ActiveLockon()
    If Not WinExists("LOCK ON","") Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Lockon is not running")
    If Not WinActive("LOCK ON","") Then WinActivate("LOCK ON","")
    WinWaitActive("LOCK ON","")
    Sleep(2000)
EndFunc

Func _CheckMessage($var)
    If $var = "" Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "No Message. Check usage with /? flag")
    Exit
EndFunc

Every time I run it though, I get different results. Quite often it sends the message ok. Then the next run with the exact same command, only executes part of the command. It seems quite sensitive to the Sleep commands, and wondering if anybody could advise if this (my first real AutoIT script) is missing something.

If you are sending keys, try putting:

BlockInput(1)

before and

BlockInput(0)

after to prevent user input from distrupting the SendKey process.

Thanks that helped. I cleaned up a lot of the repetitive code as well, and threw most of the stuff into functions, it seems more reliable so far, but still one or two anomolies.

:whistle:

I created this function:

Func _LockonSend($msg1,$msg2)   
    _ActiveLockon()
    BlockInput(1)
    Send($msg1)
    Sleep(500)
    Send($msg2, 1)
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Send($msg1)
    BlockInput(0)
EndFunc

$msg2 may include special characters. I'm certain this is screwing the system. For example, a typical line will look like this:

$msg2 = ALT = 32, IAS(kn) = 0, IAS(kmh) = 0, Hdg = 357

I added the ,1 flag to send it raw, but I think its not getting the necessary "".

How would I go about encapsulating $msg with quotes?

e.g., something like $msg2 = "\""& $msg2 & "\""

I have updated the code as per below. I created a msg box that dumps the $msg1 and $msg2 values. I noticed that $msg1 is the command without quotes. E.g., {ALTDOWN}m{ALTUP}

When I run this, half the time the {ALTDOWN}m{ALTUP} command works, and the other times it doesn't. I added the blockinput which helped a bit I think. Damn its frustrating... computers are supposed to be binary... either work or fail in this case, these different results are confusing the hell outta me :whistle:

half the time the {ALTDOWN}m{ALTUP} command works

Try !m instead.

How would I go about encapsulating $msg with quotes?

e.g., something like $msg2 = "\""& $msg2 & "\""

Like this:

Double up on the quotes:

$msg2 = """" & $msg2 & """"
