Simple task, need help

[fusiongt]

I have a simple task but I need help on it.

I want to send keystrokes to a window. My keystrokes are something like "send me #"

After "#" I want to have a number that I specify, and I want that number to increase by +1 each time the event is triggered.

Then after that I want the information to be entered with the enter button.

My triggering event is a cycle that goes ever 60 seconds. So what I want is when it's activated to go something like this:

1. Event is activated
2. Switches to window, types in "send me #"
3. After the "#" something like '1' is added. Then it presses enter.
4. After 60 seconds it does it again, but this type does 'send me #2' and it keeps doing that over and over.


I know it sounds simple but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You easily can do this by using user variable.
Create the variable named MyCounter (for example) with value 0. See menu Options | Variables and go to "User Variables" tab.

Your task will looks so:

Activate window //"Window command" action with focus parameter
Increment variable MyCounter
Send keystroke "send me #{MyCounter}"

But pay attention:
characters: #, %, ^, + are reserved in "Send keystroke" action for key combinations.
In order to send these symbols, use the following combinations
# -> +(3)    i.e. Shift-3
% -> +(5)    i.e. Shift-5
^ -> +(6)    i.e. Shift-6
+ -> +(=)    i.e. Shift-=

In your case your string will be such:
send me +(3){MyCounter}
