Hi gphogoh,
don't really know what you are trying to do, but your code looks like it sends a "tab" then a "control a", a 3.5 second sleep, a "x", a newline, a "y", a "!" and a newline, lastly a 8 second sleep.
It looks like you want a loop that for each iteration the x and y count rise by 1.
Try this, I shortened it up a bit, along with the sleeps to see it better on notepad.

;Make notepad active and click h and get a row of 50 x's,
;and a row of 50 y's ending with a !. Then a Lf/CR

h::               ; key to use for testing
loop, 50         ; remove the 50 to run continuous, used 50 for testing
 {                ; start of loops code block
   Send, {tab}    ; send one "tab"
   Send ^a        ; send a shortcut key, the control key and letter "a"
   Sleep, 50      ; sleep approx. 50 milli sec.,  used 50 for testing
   Send, {x %A_Index%}{enter}      ; sends letter "x" times the number in A_Index
                               ; then sends Enter key which gives a Lf/CR
   Send, {y %A_Index%}{!}{enter}     ; sends letter "y" times the number in A_Index
                               ; then sends letter "!" and Enter key which gives a Lf/CR

   ; OP was using "Send, !{enter}" after sending the y's   
   ; sends the alternate key (no idea why) and Enter key which then does nothing
   ; but there may be a shortcut key " ! + Enter in the program the script is used with 

   Sleep, 100     ; sleep approx. 100 milli sec. , used 100 for testing
 }                ; end of loops code block
return            ; return for another key hit
