Is it possible to send inputs to an unactive windows? If you do not understand dont hesitate to ask its hard to explain what I mean.You could use FileWrite or FileWriteLine to send the text to a file without opening it at all.Also if you are working with MSWord then take a look at the Word UDF.Word Management George Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.*** The PCRE (Regular Expression) ToolKit for AutoIT - (Updated Oct 20, 2011 ver:3.0.1.13) - Please update your current version before filing any bug reports.
