<Please Delete! Solved> - Send keys to cmd.exe only working if already open

[Fractured]

I wrote a script to auto login to Macola. I have to run a .bat, send the keys to the cmd.exe window.

Problem im having is the script will run the .bat.....but it seems the keys arent sent.....unless I already have the same .bat running!! 

So I have 2 instances of the batch file going.... 

The commented out lines are all the things ive tried...some just flash the batch on screen and then it closes....what is not commented out does work, but only if I run the batch file first then run the script...also the ######### is the password blocked out for obvious reasons!

Any clues after searching the forums, help, goggle?

Thanks in advance!

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

;Local $iPID = Run("C:\Users\cwright\Desktop\Frd-macolatest Macola.bat", @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Run("C:\Users\cwright\Desktop\Frd-macolatest Macola.bat", @DesktopCommonDir)
;WinWait("[Class:ConsoleWindowClass]", 3)
;ControlSend("C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "#############" & @CR)
;ControlSend("classname=ConsoleWindowClass", "", "", "#############" & @CRLF)

WinActivate("[Class:ConsoleWindowClass]")


ControlSend("C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "#############" & @CR, 1)

;StdInWrite($iPID, "###############" & @CRLF)

@Fractured as a rule we do not deleted threads. We have all had that experience where we post a question and then 2 minutes later figure it out ourselves. If you post a detailed explanation of what you did to resolve the issue, it may help someone down the road looking at the same problem.

@JLogan3o13   Ahhh...sounds good to me!! 

Explanation: 1-Found that I needed to add a WinWait command so that the batch had time to fully run and 2-I needed to set the $SEND_RAW (1) flag for ControlSend. Not sure why other than im learning Macola is not very friendly.
