I need help to see why my label containing an if statement doesn't get triggered. Topic is solved

[Kellyzkorner_NJ]

For the label below I can't seem to get it to recognize my space, right or s if statement for the space or s options. The others SEEM to work usually. I had a terminating / that was escaped, though maybe you don't need to escape those, I'm not sure, but I took it out trying to troubleshoot. The first one, u|n works flawlessly. Oddly the space one if I use {space} or s it pastes the doctor name with a period. I have no idea where that was coming from so I added the just space option at end but I don't want to have to wait for it to time out to that every time. I'm using 1.1.24.1.0 if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Code: Select all

:*:somedoc:: ; <-- Send Some Doctor, MD
Gosub enteruppaste
Send Some Doctor, MD
Return

enteruppaste:
;Input, character, L1 T1, {ENTER}{SHIFT}/, u,n,{SPACE},{RIGHT},p,c,s
Input, character, T1, , u,n,p,c,s,{SPACE},{RIGHT},.,,

If ((character ~= "u|n")) ; Delete next word
{
Send {UP}{END}{ENTER}{HOME}.{LEFT}
Return
}
Else 
If ((character ~= "p|."))
{
;Msgbox, 4100, , period, 0.6
Send `.{LEFT}
Return
}
Else
If ((character ~= "c|,"))
{
;Msgbox, 4100, , comma, 0.6
Send `,{SPACE}{LEFT 2}
Return
}
Else
If ((character ~= "s|{SPACE}|{RIGHT}"))
;If character contains s,{space},{RIGHT}
{
Msgbox, 4100, , space, 0.3
Send {SPACE}
Return
}
Else
Send {SPACE}
Return

this If ((character ~= "p|.")) means "p" or anything, change to If ((character ~= "p|\."))

Thanks AlphaBravo, I'll try that and report back.

AlphaBravo, that helped a ton. I wasn't thinking along the line of RegEx. Do you have any idea why the space and right keys in the space section don't trigger it but only the letter s option?

OutputVar does not store keystrokes per se. Instead, it stores characters produced by keystrokes according to the active window's keyboard layout/language. Consequently, keystrokes that do not produce characters (such as PageUp and Home) are not stored (though they can be recognized via the EndKeys parameter below).

Thank you just me.
