Hi Guys

Im trying to create a Autoit script to install a program for me.
But I seem to have problem:

One of the windows that it need access to auto-click the next button has a " and a | in it. Therefore when I type the statement
WinWaitActive("Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.5")
ControlClick("Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.5","Add to "Start | Programs" menu","TButton2")

and run the sript I get the Error:
ControlClick("Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.5","Add to "Start | Programs" menu","TButton2")
ControlClick("Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.5","Add to ^ ERROR

Erorr: Unable to parse Line.

How to I fix this Error?

Look in the Helpfile contents for Language Reference / Datatypes and view the area which references Strings.

Strings
Strings are enclosed in double-quotes like "this".  If you want a string actually contain a double-quote use it twice like:

    "here is a ""double-quote"" - ok?"

You can also use single-quotes like 'this' and 'here is a ' 'single-quote' ' - ok?'



You can mix quote types to make for easier working and to avoid having to double-up your quotes to get what you want.  For example if you want to use a lot of double-quotes in your strings then you should use single-quotes for declaring them:

    'This "sentence" contains "lots" of "double-quotes" does it not?'

is much simpler than:

    "This ""sentence"" contains ""lots"" of ""double-quotes"" does it not?"

Your error has occured because of the double quotes.

ControlClick("Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.5","Add to "Start | Programs" menu","TButton2")

Just use single quotes to surround the double quotes or you can double up the double quotes.
