SEND $ Variable

[ericg32]

Maybe I missed this along the way ! I have data stored in $mydata that I wish to send to a window.. I don't see how to make SEND to CONTROLSEND do this ..

I have tried various syntax of send($mydata) send"$mydata") etc. but of no avail.

The problem is simple.. suppose I have a list of things to send to IEXPLORER.. I can invoke explorer - go to the right webpage , then I want to send the contents and {enter}

Any ideas ?

thnx

Eric

Look up the _IE functions provided by Dale.

IE is a pain to work with, but it can be done.

Thnx Blue.. I will review that.. am I missing something in the (control)send where I cannot send a string variable ? I can send text but not text stored in $... ?

THnx

Try this... it may help you uinderstand

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("")

ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window" & @CRLF)

Sleep(2000)

$variable = "This is a another line of text in the notepad window" & @CRLF

ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", $variable )

Sleep(5000)

Found the error of my ways.. I had the pointer ..not the content.. once I fixed the reference it works as expected !.. Needed the GUICTRLREAD !
