Paste Text in Chat Box

[kozmik]

This is killing ME. Ive been trying make this in AutoIt. Its probably a simple function to.

I want code this:

I press enter, it paste the text from text.txt into like an msn conversation box or any dialog chat box that is open, and Send it.

Also I was also told that I can import the script into mmb. Thats what I would like to do.

So far. Ive gotten no where. Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction? Im so confused and I got a huge headache.

Read the help file about the functions: HotKeySet, ClipPut (although it's probably unneeded in this case but read anyway );], Send, ControlSend, maybe FileRead. etc.. heh, show some code.

[kozmik]

So far I have

HotKeySet( "ENTER" [, "Send"] )

In line 1. Am I even doing this right? Im so confused

Welcome to the forums.

- Look at the help file entry for Send()... "ENTER" should be "{ENTER}"

- Brackets "[]" indicate that the parameter is optional. Do not type them.

- Send() already exists, so pick a new name for your function.

Please re-read the help file entries for these functions. When in doubt, run the examples and try to tweak them to gain a better understanding.

Good luck!

After about 2 hours of fiddling with it. I still had no success.

[kozmik]

Anyone willing to code this for me?

Look in my signature for AutoIt 1 2 3.

TAKE THE CLASS. Seriously. Take it. Don't ask for help with your current problem until after you have taken the class. I will bet you will know how to solve the problem you are having after you take the class.

[kozmik]

I took the class already. It freezes at Initiating File.

here is something to get you started.. SORRY VOLLY this guy needs help..

Hotkeyset ('{ENTER}', '_Send')

Func _Send ()
;YOUR CODE HERE
Endfunc

[kozmik]

Hotkeyset ('{ENTER}', '_Send')

Func _Send ()
;YOUR CODE HERE
Endfunc

What does this exactly do? When ENTER is pressed it will send what? I hate being a noob

[CodyBarrett]

ok... place Msgbox(0,'','') instead of :YOUR CODE HERE.... then run it

Yes thats what a HotKey does

[kozmik]

I ran it. Its not doing anything.

[Authenticity]

Try this:

HotKeySet('{ENTER}', '_Send')
HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_EXIT')

While 1
   Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func _EXIT()
   Exit
EndFunc

Func _Send()
   MsgBox(0x40, 'Title', 'Text')
EndFunc

Hit enter to run _Send function to see the message box and hit ESC to exit the script. The idea is to make a hot-key script that process code when you hit the hot-key and do nothing but sleep when no matching hot-key was pressed, such as the enter with this script.

[CodyBarrett]

yes.. or you can use _ispressed() inside the While and clear up some of the lines... but this is goood for a begginer

[kozmik]

Am I missing something? (I most likely am) When I compile it and run it. It doesnt send anything?

Of course, you're forgotten read the info detailed in the helpfile about the functions included in that small code.

[kozmik]

According to what he told me to do. Doesnt work. When I run it, and press enter it doesn't send anything in the chatbox. So something is wrong.

[Authenticity]

Is the file.txt is open in notepad or you want to read it using FileRead or what? It won't do what you didn't tell it to do.

[kozmik]

I want it to read a line from the file.txt, paste it and send it.
