Hi,
Make sure SendWindowMessage property of TypeInto unchecked.

Hi Again,

thanks for reply.

i would like to say what i need.

i want to invoke a command prompt and want to perform some action using command line.

  2. using type into i was trying to print in cmnd line and performing some execution. during this i have some command containing (_) …
  3. if i uncheck the sendWindowmessages it wont print in command prompt.(Am i right)

It should type .
Did you try ?:thinking:

Underscores are getting populated correctly in command prompt. I tried with basic default method (SendWindow and Simulate being unchecked)

Hi,

@Pradeepkumar you have to use 3 send keys to achieve this.

wow quite strange isn’t it :grinning:
what to do now? :thinking:
This might sound silly but try these:
try running workflow designed in personal laptop in office laptop.(vice versa)
same issue then something wrong with CMD itself :stuck_out_tongue:
try running CMD as Admin and give a try (don’t think so that’s the problem here)

Hi @Pradeepkumar, @Anil_Julakal

Maybe you can try this.
It is used to paste into command line code like “_” with SendWindowMessage.
This sample is maked by Windows 7.
I think other version Windows can use similar method to implement.
Step1:Set To Clipborad “test_123”.
Step2:Right Click command line window with SendWindowMessage.
Step3:Send Hotkey “p” to command line window with SendWindowMessage.
