Hello,

How do I use SendInput, {raw} to send a variable with carriage returns that is stored in an ini file?

For example

test.ini:

Code:

[scripts]
send=(
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
etc.
)



AHK Script:

Code:

IniRead, sAudit, test.ini, scripts, send, %A_Space%

f::

Sendinput, {raw} %sAudit%

return


I assume the problem is with iniread not being able to send the carriage returns. If so, is there a way around this? If not, how can I do it? Lastly, is there a better way to store these variables outside the ahk script? Ultimately, I want these variables to be easily configured and shared amoung users. I'm not married to the ini format.

Thanks in advance. Z

iniread can only read the one line. you should do a stringreplace on the thing you are saving (replace `n with something else, like {enter})

then when you read it back in, you can send it directly (not raw) or stringreplace your line back to `n

I'm considering using xml files to store this. Seems like Titan's XMLPath script may be a good solution for what I'm trying to do. If anyone thinks this is not the right path to go down, please advise.
