pls help send key using a variable

[NEVERMORE]

help pls is this possibLE?

im using:

$variable = {F12}

send ("$variable")

it types $variable instead of pressing F12

[Roofel]

Do not use the "" in Variable:) Use Send($Variable) should work then:)

Difference between

Send("$Variable") - You tell the Script to send the word "$Variable"

Send($Variable) - You tell the Script to look at $Variable for information to send:) Hope you figure it out

@senatin It is not called format but "Syntaxe" So you know for next time. 

 

What was the point of posting here in stead of making new thread ?

AutoIT is evoluting so old thread from 10 years... ? It does not work the same way over the years. (Even if it s not the case for this thread  )
