AA is adding [ENTER] at the end of Insert Keystrokes

[philkryder]

It appears that AA is adding an [ENTER] key at the end of a series of keystrokes that I want.

I coded:
C:\[$]LCSAreports\T5R1\Input\$Year$_$Month$_$Day$_$Hour$ _$Minute$_$Second$

But AA adds [ENTER].

How can I make AA stop adding keys to what I code?

Thanks!
Phil

Here is a snippet from a text file.
Note that it differs from the InsertText:

Delay: (500 ms)
27 Keystrokes: C:\[$]LCSAreports\T5R1\Input\$Year$_$Month$_$Day$_$Hour$ _$Minute$_$Second$[ENTER] in "Save As"

Note the [ENTER] was added.

Hello,

This is very strange, as we have never seen such a problem before. However, can you please tell us, when does this happen exactly i.e. when you record the Keystrokes or when you insert Keystrokes manually? Can you please record and check it again by not hitting Enter key after you entered the path in 'Save as' window?

If the problem still exists, try to download the setup again from our website http://www.tethyssolutions.com/automation-software.htm

After installation, please try to insert simple Keystrokes for e.g. write something in notepad and see if the same thing happens.

will do.

I'll report back. Phil

Hello Phil,

Actually what would have happened is, you must have recorded the keystrokes and entered ENTER key while recording. Now when you edited the keystrokes and entered the variables, you did not notice the ENTER key. If you can take the cursor below to the last line then it means there is an ENTER key in the keystrokes. You can simply go to the last line and hit Backspace to remove the ENTER key.

Let us know if that resolves your query.

That's it thanks!

I don't think you should record the Enter key from the keyboard when in the keystroke box.
You should ignore it like you do the $.

You have an ENTER key icon on your pictorial keyboard.

This is made more confusing because the enter key ICON on your keyboard is shown in the window as [ENTER]
while pressing the Enter key on the physical keyboard does not appear except as an empty new line.

thanks
