Send Commands

The 'Send' command syntax is similar to that of ScriptIt and the Visual Basic 'SendKeys' command. Characters are sent as written with the exception of the following characters:

Send Key	v2.63	v2.64	Description
!			This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore "Send,This is text!a" would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".
#			The hash is used as a key delimiter to make a line easier to read. i.e. "Send, H#e#l#l#o" is the same as "Send,Hello".
^			This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore "Send,^!a" would send "CTRL+ALT+a".
