How can I write to a non text file

rsamour · Post by **rsamour** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 8:10 pm

In a script I open an wordpad (rtf file) that I want to paste screen shots to as well as write text as the script progresses. I am able to paste screen shots, but WriteLn does not write text to an rtf. Is there a way to do this?
It does not have to be an rtf file, but I need to do both screen shots and text.

Thanks you,
Raymond

Hi rsamour,

Paste the text in as well.

Code: Select all

PutClipBoard>Picture of my macro robot
SetFocus>WordPad*
Press Ctrl
Send>V
Release>Ctrl

It sounds like you want to be using SEND vs. WRITELN. Use Set Focus before using Send.

Code: Select all
