Sending # sign

[RabidDonkey]

Hey all,

New to the application.

I searched for this, sorry if it has been answerd before.

I am trying to automate a login process, and am having difficulty with the password. In the password is a # sign and I do not belive that autoit is sending the # sign. To test if a # is being sent, I put a # in the username and recompiled, no # was sent there either. IS there a command that needs to be in before this can be sent.

Here is the code.

Send("username{TAB}prod{TAB}pass#word{ENTER}")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Like this...

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("")

Send("username")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("prod")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("pass#word", 1)
Send("{ENTER}")

BTW:... Welcome to the Autoit Forums!....

Thanks Valuater,

That seemed to work.

I guess my question about it though is why can't it be sent in one long string like I had it written.

Well, AFAIK... The "#" needs to be sent in "raw" mode thats the extra "1" on the password line. However you do not want to send the tabs or the enter in raw mode
