[VB Newbie]

Can you make a VB script that mimics CTRL+C, CTRL+G,
CTRL+V, ENTER? What would the code look like?

Control codes are ASCII characters, just like printable ones. Look up the
correct ASCII code and then use chr(CodeNumber) to output it (to the string,
screen, or whatever.)

Here are the ASCII codes:

Hi Newbie,

Not that I have any idea about what you're doing, I'm just curious. ;-))

Ctrl-C is copy, Ctrl-V is paste - what's Ctrl-G ? (It used to be
'bell').

I think you need to be looking up SendKeys
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/script56/ht
ml/wsmthsendkeys.asp

set oScrShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oScrShell.SendKeys "^C^G^V{ENTER}"
'Send keys to the currently activated application.

Regards,
