Hi,
I am trying to write out an array of string variables to Notepad. I
can't get SendKeys to accept the string variable only literal quoted
strings.
I DO NOT want the hassle of writing to a file
I DO NOT want to write to a report
I DO NOT want to write to a form
My user requires I write this array of string variables out to Notepad,
and that I leave Notepad open. (They will be copying these strings and
pasting them into another application)
I tried three quotes and then the variable, but that didn't work
Dim strMyString As String 'Just one string I know
strMyString = "This is a string I want to output to Notepad"
'Then I opened notepad
SendKeys """ & strMyString & """ 'This doesn't work
Ahhhh.... Why is something so simple SO HARD
Any help is GREATLY appreciated

This works for me:
Sub TestSendKeys()
Dim s As String
s = "A dumb thing to do."
SendKeys """" & s & """"
End Sub

No, some stupid things are quite easy to do as I have often discovered.

Using sendkeys like in this example is incredibly dangerous.

PA is y I've altered my email address. My user requires I write this array of string variables out to Notepad<<
I'm not sure what you mean by array.
Maybe this will work and you don't need Sendkeys.
Public Sub Write_to_Text_F ile()
Dim strOne As String
Dim strTwo As String
Dim strThree As String
Dim RetVal
strOne = "I DO NOT want the hassle of writing to a file"
strTwo = "I DO NOT want to write to a report"
strThree = "I DO NOT want to write to a form"
Open "C:\MyFile. txt" For Output As #1 ' Open file for output.
''Write on separate lines
Write #1, strOne ' Write delimited data.
Write #1, strTwo
Write #1, strThree
''OR Write on one line as comma-delimited data
Write #1, ' Write blank line.
Write #1, ' Write blank line.
Write #1, strOne, strTwo, strThree
Close #1 ' Close file.
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDO WS\Notepad.EXE C:\MyFile.txt", 1)
End Sub

Business requirements aren't necessarily stupid.
Thank you Dr. Chao for your consideration, however your function adds
an extra quote character. I want to send ONLY the characters from the
variable. Your procedure below sends an additional begining and ending
quote
Sub TestSendKeys()
Dim s As String
s = "A dumb thing to do."
SendKeys """" & s & """"
End Sub

Nobody said that was the case. What is stupid is a programmer-
analyst who says "I dont want the hassle of writing to a file." Thank you Dr. Chao for your consideration, however your function adds an extra quote character. I want to send ONLY the characters from the variable. Your procedure below sends an additional begining and ending quote

Hello Vmusic,
I don't mean this in a nasty way, but given that the relatively simple
solution to the above has evaded you, I'm not sure if the following
alternative would be viable for you or not... but here it is anyway,
hopefully it will be of some help.
What about simply copying the contents of the variable to the clipboard?
I do this myself for, example, when a user wants to examine the SQL my
apps have generated in other places (for example, an Oracle SQL
statement to be examined in SQL Plus, Enterprise Manager, etc). http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0049.htm

Is there any simple way to write the string as normal text?
