Using SendKey with Variables

Keywords:     sendkey variables

Question:

Can the SendKey Function be used with variables sent from a calling file? If so, how?

Answer:

Yes. If you are *real* careful.

	myvar="Fred and Alice"

	SendKey(myvar)

The problems come in if the calling file has special sendKey characters in it. For example, if it has:

	abc+def

Do you want:

abc+def typed

or

abcDef

typed?

If you want the first case then you must fix the string as follows:

	myvar="abc+def"
	myvar=StrReplace(myvar,"+","{+}")
