I'm trying to convert an integer to a string. I've tried
PressAndReleaseKey(tostring(i))
But that didn't work.
I also tried
PressAndReleaseKey(i)
But that just turns it into a scancode which is "F3" btw.
What I'm trying to do is get it to click on something, type out "61", then increase the number by 1 each time it runs through the cycle.

Answer 1

Try
i = 0x61; -- hexadecimal!!!
PressAndReleaseKey(string.char(i))
That should probably do what you want.
Another approach is using function PressAndReleaseHidKey() - it has more consistent codes for keyboard keys: 4-29 are for letters a-z, 30-39 are for digits 1234567890
For example, PressAndReleaseHidKey(4) is the same as PressAndReleaseKey("a").
