Hi,
I'm sorry to be a bother again but I've been looking for an example for a couple of hours now of how to send with a temp variable and haven't found anything. It's 3:30am and I have to get to bed.
What I am wanting to do is this. This is the vbscript

Send "decay" & targ

where targ is the local variable

I would guess it is probably Send ("decay", targ)
but I want to be sure. I'm changing a lot of code and it's difficult to debug so I want to make sure I do it right the first time.

As documented here:

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/function.php?name=Send

You can use multiple arguments to Send and they are concatentated together without a space between then so you might want to take that into account.

However the concatenation operator in Lua is .. so you could have written:


Send ("decay" .. targ)


Note the brackets, and again note that no space will be supplied. So, if targ was "fish", it would send "decayfish" without a space.
