keystroke generator?

[deat]

I just downloaded AutoIt, and I'm curious as to how it is able to generate keystrokes. I have a keystroke counter (simple code) and I want a program that generates keystrokes that will be registered by my counter. I'm sorry if this was asked before, but it's tedious going through the searched topics. Thanks in advance.

I'm not so much talking of a mouse click counter, but more along keys. I'm a (I hate this term) n00b to coding, and was wondering if there was a ode premade that generates strokes. :/

i think he means like:

$codes= Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))
Send ($codes)

i think that should work.. right out of my "Genterate ()" function

Thanks.

Is that the whole thing? By using that, will I be able to then have my key counter "log" the generated keystrokes?

EDIT3: I paste that code into notepad, and save it as a .aut file. I try to open it up with AutoIt, but it comes up with an error:

line 1:

$codes= Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))

Error: unknown command

no problem just add it into a For...Next loop and you can make it send as many keystroks you want :)

My last post was edited with stuff...

As for the overall use of AutoIt, I have nearly zero experience with coding in this manner...I'm not sure how I coudld add this into something else/what the something else is.

I feel slow.

.aut? that's pretty old isn't it? i recommend you get the newest BETA version of AutoIt... do that.. and no way, thats not the whole code.. thats what will generate A random keystroke... ill explain more later but i have to go now, if anyone else wants to explain, go right ahead

aut is Autoit v2 au3 is any version of Autoit v3

But i guess he would need the beta since you have the flag added to random.

Could anyone compile a script to do this? If not, that's cool, but it's really be cool if someone could.
