I have this script to paste a variable to the notepad, but nothing is happening, no error message, only the notepade windows is activate but nothing is writen:

Code:

SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop, Read, Order.csv
{
StringSplit, CSVColumn, A_LoopReadLine, `,
%CSVColumn1%:=CSVColumn2
}
WinActivate New Text Document.txt
Send, %Initials% ;only sending this one to test

Why nothing happens?
Thanks,

No, now itīs not even open the notepad. I come back to the old version and deleted the %% to Initials. And it goes to the notepad and writes the word "Initials", so itīs something related to the variable. I tested this at home and worked, but now Iīm at the office and itīs not working. The excel file is the same, the variables are the same, donīt know why this is happens.

I don't think the variables it's creating are permanent, meaning you might have to use them right away. Heres a test. What is the very last line in your file?

If the last line is "Address" (I have no idea), use that variable... If it prints, then it means that the last variable created is the only one working...

Or try this. If every msgbox seems correct, then you know it's working so far... At the end, if you only see one of the names in the "ListVars", then it means they aren't permanent.

Code:
SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop, Read, Order.csv
{
    StringSplit, CSVColumn, A_LoopReadLine, `,
    %CSVColumn1%:=CSVColumn2
    MsgBox, %CSVColumn1%
}
ListVars
Pause, On

Indeed. You send an empty variable ("Initials"), which never has defined nor filled (assuming that the code is complete, which btw is mandatory to do some analysis). Looks like you have to check out coding basics before going on with kinda rocket science. Wink

Code:
Loop, Read, Order.csv, NewOrder.csv
{
   StringSplit, CSVColumn, A_LoopReadLine, `,
   FileAppend, % CSVColumn2 ";"
   }
Run, Notepad NewOrder.csv

The script gives me this message:

Global Variables (alphabetical)
--------------------------------------------------
0[1 of 3]: 0
CSVColumn0[0 of 0]:
CSVColumn1[0 of 0]:
CSVColumn2[0 of 0]:
ErrorLevel[1 of 3]: 0

But the variable is defined by the loop of stringsplit, right? I mean, itīs creating a variable with a name = content: Initials = JS, address = 1 main st.

PD: Sorry Bobo, but itīs not the same topic, now I have the script, Iīm asking a specific question at the time as it says in the in the sticky How to get answers effectively.

Please provide a sample input file (excerpt), and the format you expect as the output.

Shouldn't you insert
Code:
WinActivate New Text Document.txt
WinWaitActive, New Text Document.txt
Send, %Initials%
