Output is different from input with Send and Sendinput

[ndiaz]

I'm trying to send the following to the Find What field of a Find and Replace dialog box:

Code: Select all

Sendinput ({!})|(\?)|(:)|(;)

Every other time, I get this instead:

(19|(\?)|(:)|(;)

So, whenever I run the script, the string appears correctly the first time, then incorrectly the next time I run the script. What could be causing this?

Try {text} mode for SendInput:

Code: Select all

Sendinput {text}(!)|(\?)|(:)|(;)

(available in AHK version 1.1.27+)

Thank you!
