I have created a list called postcode containing the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-Z. I'd like to be able to activate the command by saying the command name "Insert Postcode" - followed by a postcode - E.G. "Insert Postcode SY45HP". The postcode numbers and letters should come from my list, but I'm also adding a space in between the 4th and 5th character. My script looks like this:

 Sub Main

Dim postcode As String
 postcode = ListVar1 & ListVar2 & ListVar3 & ListVar4 & " " & ListVar5 & ListVar6 & ListVar7

SendKeys postcode
End Sub

 

It doesn't seem to work! Have I written this correctly?

Show us lists of possible values for all seven variables. Or are you using six variables? You example consists of six characters, but your code outputs seven.

I have developed similar commands, and usually find it is better to use lists with written and spoken forms:

1\one
2\two
...
0\zero
0\oh

Instead of specifying (for example) listvar1, you need code to extract the written form:

Mid(ListVar1, 1, Instr(ListVar1, "\" ) -1 )

Hi,

The list contains numbers 0-9 and letters A-Z. The reason the script outputs seven chars is to incorporate a space in between two chars of the postcode - for formatting reasons.

Hi,
the point is that you need seven lists, even if they all contain the same elements. Dragon cannot put in item #1 from list 1 in position 1 and then item #2 from list 1 in position 2. Besides "ListvarN" means that the variable in this particular position is drawn from list N, so if you have one list to fill six variables you're five lists short of a sixpack :-)
I guess you've found that out yourself, seeing how much time has passed since your last post.

Why not use the split function and split on "\"? Code with string indexing is usually hard to decipher and it's easy to get off-by-one errors.
