FileReadLine does not read # character

[Tarrasque]

Hello everybody.

I have a very simple script that just reads a string from a file and outputs whenever I press CTRL+ALT+p

^!p::
FileReadLine, Pwd, C:\pwd.txt, 1
Send %Pwd%
Return

It works great except when the files contains a # character. In this case it's ignored. Escaping the character does not help.

What could be the problem?

You're wrong. FileReadLine takes that character without a problem (use a MsgBox to cross-check it).
Send <> SendRaw

Thank you for your answer.

I'm not sure I understand.

I substituted Send %Pwd% with SendRaw %Pwd% and the result is the same.

Code: Select all

F10::
   FileReadLine, Pwd, pwd.txt, 1 ; changed the path as C:\ is often restricted
   MsgBox % Pwd   ;  check the outcome of FileReadLine
   Send, %Pwd%   ; delivers "assword" ! which is slightly correct!
   Sleep, 800
   SendRaw, %Pwd%   ; delivers #password which 100% accurate
   Return

F12::Reload
F11::ExitApp

Thank you very much!!

Very nice answer.

I think I forgot to reload the script when I firs modified it. Now it works as a charm!!

Keep up the good work!
