How do I output the # character

[omar]

Seems to be impossible!

I've tried:

Code: Select all

::]code::

SendInput # ; Doesn't work - prints nothing

SendInput `# ; Doesn't work -prints nothing

SendInput % "#"  ; Doesn't work -prints nothing

SendInput % "`#"  ; Doesn't work -prints nothing

my_output_string := chr(35) ; Doesn't work -prints nothing

SendInput % "=========="
SendInput % my_output_string
SendInput % "=========="

Return

What am I doing wrong?

Google has no answers.
Chat GPT has no answers - it says I can simply do a 'Send #' - that doesn't work either.

Where am I going wrong?

I would look into the AHK docs for Send/SendInput: --> especially the list of key names: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/Send.htm#keynames

Code: Select all

SendInput {#}

or SendInput {text}# or raw mode.

From the Send doc:

SendRaw: Similar to Send, except that all characters in Keys are interpreted and sent literally.

Thus:

SendRaw #
