Hi everybody, I was looking in the forums for hours, and I couldn't find an answer:

I try to send a string using ControlSend a path. The path contains the : (Colon) char. It seems this char is replaced with ; (Semicolon).

I tried the + - to enable SHIFT but all I got was a messy string.

How can I pass a path string to the ControlSend ?

Thanks in advance

Yaniv.

Maybe this can help

For $i = 58 to 59
    MsgBox(0, "This Character ",  Chr($i)) 
Next

  • first run: c;\temp\tEMP\TEMP
  • 2nd run (with the same script): c;\temp\temp\temp
  • 3rd run (with the same script): c;\temp\temp\teMP
  • 4th run (again, with the same script): C:|TEMP|TEMP|TEMP (all pipes)
I really don't know why I always getting different results. It seems really strange to me.

Has anyone ever encountered such behavior ?

I've done some testing with the script, and I've found out that this behavior happens only with the ControlSend method. If I'm using a regular Send everything works perfect.

So, the question is: Does ControlSend meant to be like that ? or am I doing something wrong ?

Can't duplicate your symptoms with this:

$PID = Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
$hWin = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad")
WinActivate($hWin)
WinWaitActive($hWin)
ControlSend($hWin, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "C:\Temp\Temp\Temp" & @CRLF)
ControlSend($hWin, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "C:\Temp\Temp\Temp" & @CRLF)
ControlSend($hWin, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "C:\Temp\Temp\Temp" & @CRLF)
ControlSend($hWin, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "C:\Temp\Temp\Temp" & @CRLF)

What app are you sending to?

It would've been smarter to create a new thread, because of the following...

1. This thread is over 3yrs old and a lot has changed with AutoIt inc. the Windows OS.

2. What isn't working for you? PsaltyDS showed an example that worked and still does.

3. Are you sending to Notepad? Or an application that is created using the Windows API?

4. Show some code and a little effort to what i isn't working for you.
