;This program, when given a filename, will write all the characters of that file to notepad++ save for extra new lines. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN USING THIS PROGRAM THAT AUTO-INDENTING ON NOTEPAD++ IS DISABLED.
;To disable auto-indenting do the following Settings -> Preferences -> http://www.filedropper.com/pdndisableauto-indent

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

$fileName = InputBox("filename", "Enter the filename to type")
$file = FileOpen($fileName)
$readFile = FileRead($file)

;MsgBox(0, "text", $readFile)

;Split the entire file into single characters
$chars = StringSplit($readFile, "")

;Run notepad - if you don't have it it could be a problem
Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad++]", "", 10)

;Write all the characters to notepad++
For $i = 1 To $chars[0]
   If $chars[$i] == Chr(9) Then
      Send("{TAB}")
   ElseIf $chars[$i] == Chr(10) Then
      ;Send("{ENTER}")
   Else
      Send($chars[$i], 1)
   EndIf
   ;Edit this if you want it to write faster or slower. Smaller numbers make it faster and larger numbers make it slower
   Sleep(10)
Next

FileClose($file)
