Idea:
I will highlight my next client's name from my scheduling program.
I would like to find all their files by executing a program I use called ESP. I would like to find their files based on their first and last name.

Typical Data
Code:
Lastname, Firstname 0 pension funds down ON number version clientnumber





#Persistent
^,::
^c
delay = 100
"Press F11"
delay = 500
Send "the clipboard"
Send {Enter}
Return

Press F11 = F11 (I think).

from my older post-

Code:
Copy everything to clipboard (before the script)
Press control+F11 to execute the script
Save the Clipboard.
Find the first charcter that is the number 0, then copy everything before the number 0 (not including)
strip out any commas.
F11 key
Wait for application.
"Type" (not paste) the string into the application (ie. not just paste).
Return to the initial clipboard + add date (format - Jan 28, 2008) to the end.

It can all be done using the commands: FileAppend, StringMid, StringReplace, Send, WinWait, ControlSend/send, EnvAdd.

you need to send the key {F11}, not the letters F 1 1.

Use
Code:
Send {F11}

Send {F11} ;F11 key
delay = 600 ;Wait for application.
Send %PersonName% ;"Type" (not paste) the string into the application (ie. not just paste).
Clipboard := ClipSaved
Return

-- almost working.
It is unreliable for unknown reasons.
Must be a focus issue.

perhaps you can use some other way to wait for the application instead of a delay? are you waiting for a certain window to pop up? See WinWait, WinActivate, and WinWaitActive commands.

i am waiting for a screen.

I think it popups up unmaximized sometimes.
or the on screen control + F11 sticks.

annoying.

maybe I am not sending the text reliably.

It is a unique program in that you press F11 and start typing it sort of does not require focus.

if you are worried about sending text reliably, try the different send modes (input, play, event, etc.) also, try messing with setkeydelay.

I am a bit lost about getting this script to work.

SendInput %PersonName%

is unreliable (sometime it only will get one letter in the box I want it in).

and I can't seem to get the other options to work. :?: :oops:

Any more tips ?

It copies it to the clipboard but often the paste doesn't work well, like it will only paste the first letter of the string.

:(
