send bug with high variables Topic is solved

[Alialmans]

Was toying around on my first day of learning, wrote a script that lists off combinations of letters and numbers, but at higher values it inexplicably started malfunctioning

(here's the code)

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^q::
Myvar := 0
loop, 10000 {
send, {!}AA
if(myvar<10)
send, 0
if(myvar<100)
send, 0
if(myvar<1000)
send, 0
send, %Myvar% {enter}
Myvar:=Myvar+1
}
return

(everything in notepad)

at first everything went well, but at some point it started slipping up, the mistakes always came in groups and the frequency of appearance of these groups rose as far as I can tell, the mistakes were slightly different each time I ran the script

here's an example

Code: Select all

!AA8764 
!AA8765 
!AA8766 
!AA8767 
!AA8768 
!*&
*&&) 
!AA8771 
!AA*&!A*
!AA8774 
!AA*
&&& 
!AA8778& !!*&*! 
!AA878a8838** !AA8786 
!AA878 AA* !A*!AA8790 
!AA879
AA88!AA8794 
!AA8795 
8796 
!AA8797 
!AA8798 
!AA8799 
!AA8800

How about if you use SendEvent instead of SendInput?

makes no noticable difference

Huh. I did see your issue when I tried SendInput-- perhaps a Windows buffering issue, though I'm not sure-- but when I used SendEvent, I had no trouble; I let it run up to 1000. Others might know more here.

oh, for me the issue never appeared up to 1000, it was always a few thousand in

[mikeyww]

I ran it to the end-- no problems. You could post your revised script here.

Notepad seems to have a limited input buffer. When this gets overfilled it goes crazy. Therefore the Sleep, 50:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
^q::
Myvar := 0
loop, 1000
{
	Send,% "{Text}" Format("!AA{:04}`n", Myvar++)
	Sleep, 50
}
return
