Can not find a command

[snowbrdr020]

instead of using Send, 400 character.... etc

i would like to know if there is a command to send the paste (ctrl v) to a box i am trying to get text into. the send section under the help section only gives the {enter} example.

Any help would be nice. thanks.

The help for Send is quite comprehensive IMO. There is much more information there than just the example. There is this

'^'

This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a".

So from that should have been able to deduce that Ctrl V would be

Send("^v")

No need for a post, just read the help.

EDIT:Or maybe you need ControlSend to paste tha text into a control in a particular window.

You mean something like this?

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}")

Copy some text then run that script. It should work.
