Hi,

A space belongs to the character set. With Press, you can only enter non-character keys. ( See help function "Press")
For entering a space, you have to use the SEND or ASCII command

Greetings

thanks! It works as you say.
one more question: I donot want to see the windows during the auto Installation per Macro Scheduler.I want to do 100% silent Install for Software. Is it possible by MacroScheuder?

Just press the spacebar as you would any other printable "character"

Code: Select all

SEND>Space between these words.
SEND>     5SpacesBeforeTheseWords
Be careful, that normally you may want to Remove Trailing Spaces, but not always as this example shows:

Code: Select all

SEND>5SpacesAfterTheseWords     
Trailing Spaces are generally a problem when refering to variables and/or labels.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
