Sending Edit Box data to Notepad slow

[Fractured]

Ok..so ive got my proggy almost done. Now the only problem is I have an EditBox being used as a Console Window, so that while im testing I can see the data returned from the Unit.  The data is appened to last line in the edit Box, and it can make for a long string. At the end of testing I have a Send to File button, so that I can see all that was done during the testing...

So this is the code I have...

Func _OutFile()

    $TempEdit = GUICtrlRead($Edit1)
    $OutEdit = StringReplace($TempEdit, @LF, "")

    Run("notepad.exe")

    WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
    Sleep(1000)
    ;Send("Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1", $OutEdit)
    Send($OutEdit)
EndFunc

Problem is, when it sends the code to notepad, its slow like im typing it character by character. Is there a faster way to send the data to Notepad? Ive scanned the forum and tried some different variations, but still cant seem to speed things up! Thanks in advance!

P.S. I would just write to file but the save space is different depending on the test station im at.

Send is used to simulate user interactions, so, it is almost "normal" that is not so fast.

You could use File* functions, to create a file, open it, write into it, close it, and run it in order to see it's content ( without reading it in a variable ).

I think that this should be faster than using Send command

You can remove the delay on 'send' by adding this line to your function:

Opt("SendKeyDelay",0)

ContolSetText is another quick option

Func _OutFile()

    $TempEdit = GUICtrlRead($Edit1)
    $OutEdit = StringReplace($TempEdit, @LF, "")

    Run("notepad.exe")

    WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlSetText("Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1", $OutEdit)
EndFunc

Good one @Bowmore. That's what I was trying to think of yesterday but kept coming up with GUICtrlSetData for some reason lol.  @Fractured should use your code for sure...:)

Thanks all! Ill be attempting to implement @Bowmore's code in!! Thanks for all the input folks!! Love this place!!
