Looking for a few examples

[Tangeleno]

I'm writing a small script to do some basic button mashing for a game I play, I've gotten that whole part figured out and it runs fairly well. What I'm trying to do now is get it to save the settings to a file. Nothing big or fancy I just am not sure which functions I should be using to do that. Do I need to make it open up notepad and write them in there then save it through notepad? Or is there a simpler way?

It seems I didn't look hard enough sorry for bothering you guys, seems the answer is FileOpen :">

Look into AutoIt HelpFile at:

IniWrite()
IniRead()

Thanks Zedna those work much better. Another question I have now while looking through the help file at a few other things, I found the SendKeyDelay option, I think this would work out much better than a standard sleep as I would imagine it wouldn't hold up the rest of the script (pushing pause button etc.) Any clue where I could find a little more info about this option? And does said option delay before the key is pressed or after?

Look into HelpFile at Opt()

Thank you once again Zenda, seems that won't help me since they need to be varying delays. Last question I promise, I'm trying to do a controlsend however it doesn't seem to send it to the specified window, I looked at a few other's code and stole a few pieces (namely WoW anti-afk scripts). At first I figured it was a problem with the game but I cant even get it to send they key to notepad here's a snippet from what I'm working on as I don't want you to see how horrid the whole thing looks.

Thank you once again for your help Seems it's just not possible in the game, even after finding that control ID part it still needs focus guess it's something I get to use when I goto bed.
