Script Only Works Sometimes?

17 Jul 2017, 12:49

Hi all,

I have a script that works a solid 50% of the time. It's super basic, designed to create and name a new script as I go through the tutorial (I'm a new but avid user). Here's the script:

Code: Select all

^NumpadEnter::
send,
(
{RButton}{up 2}{right}{down 3}
@Work{space}
)
Return
All I'm trying to do is name each new script "@Work #" (the number is what I intend to manually enter). However, I keep running into this problem: it often skips the '@' symbol. I've tried a few different things, and as far as I can figure, it's just dumb chance whether or not it comes out "@Work " or "Work". Sometimes it also skips the 'W', although this is rarer.

Help out a new user, please! I need to know if I'm doing something wrong, before I launch into more scripts.

Instead of sending it all at once, break it up where it gets hung up and put something like "Sleep, 50" in between.

Wow, thanks! It works great. I feel so silly, it was such a simple solution.
