Hallo,

i would like simba to type:
D:\Aquarium en Vissen\Verkopen\VerkopenScar\Fotos\Aquariums1.jpg
But instead it gives:
D:>Aquarium en Vissen>Verkopen>VerkopenScar>Fotos>Aquariums1.jpg

or if i want simba to type @ it sends E instead.

Is there away how i could solve this?

thx

are you using sendKeys, typeSend or other?

i am using sendkeys, cause i have no other basic function i can use.
TypeSend is juste a function which uses sendkeys so that's the same i guess,

but in the typesend function i found the function typebyte,
this is a function which is not in simba manual,
is there a place or file where i can find all the possible functions i can use?

take a look here and lmk if you can't get something working (:

hint try using getCharCode

does not work to use getcharcode, because it returns the code for < instead of \

try using typebyte(ascii code of '\' here)

the problem is that \ is in a string (directories path)

simba just can't write |@#{}[]´`~\ these characters,
and i was looking for a way how i could do that

'\\' (two backslashes) will produce '\' (one backslash). You escape the escape character with another escape character.
If it's a directory, you can probably use a forward slash instead.

It's a program to place advertisements on the net, and the directory path is safed on a INI file. Simba retrieves the directory from that file, so i would have to replace every backslash, or if i use an other character to.
But i'll try it out and if it works i'll make a procedure which checks if there is such a character used in the sentence.

I had been thinking about using forward slash, but it did not work

Change your keyboard language to English (UK)

two backslashes dit not work …

if i changed keyboard to english, i would always have to do this before i run the program and then turn it back to normal afterwards, so that's to much husle.

I thougt of including scar script (cause scar can send those keys) but simba does not know the scar function so it does not work either.

I could use scar instead of simba i know, but simba has a better view and there for is easier to find faults

One other thing you could do is copy the / and make simba use ctrl + v :p

i thing i will have to enter part by part of the directory
'd:' enter, 'document' enter, …
this untill this might been solved

StevenV, I'm glad you haven't given up yet. Could you please share your script? I'll work with you until this is functioning as it should. I remember a topic like this from a few years ago. Trying to remember how it was resolved.

don't give up! :D

So some explaintion about the script.

At my place i'm a amateur guppy breeder, but over time i have to many so i sell some. To do this i use an advertisment website.
This is a good site, lot's of users, but since lots of new ads are added every day my ads are going down fast. That's why i like to repost my ads every few days, but this takes time to type the whole ads again and again (sometimes i need to add 6 ads), that's why i made a script to easen up my life and let my computer do the job while i'm having dinner.

The problem then with this script now is that i want to upload some photo's. There opens a upload box and i would like simba to fill in the full directory of the file, so that it opens this file at once.
For now i have solved the problem by splitting the directory into pieces and enter every piece separately followed by an enter, this way simba goes to D:, then to folder, then to subfolder, then subsubfolder…..
it works fine but it's allot slower and i'm not sure yet how i can make some faile safes for this proces.

the part where it oploads the photos goes from line 399 to 453.

This was also a problem in scar but has been solved during later versions.
So i could still use scar, but then i would have to change my script a bit cause the website has changed, but i prefer simba simply because of the better look of the script, which gives you a better overall view.
And if i would like to use scar i would have to keep using an older version, because the new version has lost lots of old functions and has allot less functions available. I would have to rewrite the hole script, so i might as well do it in simba and try to improve it allot.

begin
SendKeys('/', 0, 0);
SendKeys('\', 0, 0);
end.           

run that and tell me what happens. It sends both those keys for me fine…

this is the output : /> ,
it could have something to do with the fact i'm using a azerty keyboard
so i could change the settings to a qwerty,
but then i would have to change this everytime i start using simba and change it back when i'm done.
But this simply isn't really practical.

so that's not the problem,
if i change it to qwerty i get: ?|

you have a weird keyboard issue then… :/
I'd suggest using SCAR then…

but then it's strange that it does work with scar,
then i would have to use the old scar, but i don't like the view,
i like simba cause of the easy knowing which begin and end are together.

why couldn't you use the latest SCAR?

It's not surprising that it works in scar… :p

because the latest scar has lost lots of his functions,
i really don't know what happened.
And lot the old functions don't work, it has not many functions left to use

i tried to reinstall simba but without any result.
I really don't know why it's a problem on my computer (desktop) cause i thought all characters have the same code on every pc

at home a have 3 computers on which i can test this out.
If it works there then theres a problem with my pc,
if it does not work either, then there is a problem with belgian computers.
