Hey,

string myString;
myString = "26589|2134|122345";

COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
cds.cdData = sizeof(myString);
cds.lpData = &myString;
cds.dwData = 0x1234;


HWND hHwnd;
hHwnd = FindWindow("Notepad", NULL);
SendMessage(hHwnd, WM_COPYDATA, (WPARAM)"SOMETHINGHERE", (LPARAM)&cds);

It depends on what the application is expecting as to what you should send it. If it's expecting a string, then something like that would work, although you're going to have to set your string up the way you want it.
If it's expecting a custom struct then something different would be required.

	HWND hWnd = (HWND)26589;
	WPARAM wParam = (WPARAM)2134;
	LPARAM lParam = (LPARAM)122345;
	
	char pString[256] = "";
	sprintf(pString, "%i|%i|%i", hWnd, wParam, lParam);

	COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
	cds.cbData = sizeof(pString);
	cds.lpData = &pString;
	cds.dwData = 0x1234;

	HWND hHwnd;
	hHwnd = FindWindow("Notepad", NULL);
	SendMessage(hHwnd, WM_COPYDATA, (WPARAM)"SOMETHINGHERE", (LPARAM)&cds);
